Build Your Rig Stack effects in any order, drag and drop to reorder, dial every parameter with precision knobs, and save complete setups as presets. Switch between full rigs instantly β€” amp, cab, all effects, all settings β€” in one tap. Amp Simulation Four amp models, each voiced for a distinct playing style: - Clean β€” warm, high-headroom response with natural compression - Crunch β€” aggressive midrange with harmonic density that builds with pick attack - Spring β€” clean amp with built-in spring reverb; presence knob controls reverb depth - Brit β€” open, bright voicing with a harder, faster clip response - Each amp has Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Gain, and Volume controls.

Export and import complete signal chains between devices. Ready-to-Play Presets Eight built-in rigs to get started immediately. Each fully editable. Works with any UAC1 USB audio interface β€” connects and plays automatically. Build your rig on the couch. Play it on the stage.
