Ample Juice vs BANANA

Plug in. Tune up. Play a chord. If it needs more bite, turn it up. If the low strings need to hit harder, add Pulp. If the top end is getting in the way, move the microphone. Ample Juice works like the rig you already understand, because playing guitar should not feel like programming one. ONE SCREEN, LIKE AN AMP The whole signal path is in front of you: gate, boost, drive, amp, 4x12 and microphone. No pages to remember and no puzzle of hidden settings. Start with the controls you know, turn them until the guitar sits right, and leave the rest alone. FROM CLEAN ENOUGH TO LEAD READY Juice covers the ground between edge-of-breakup rhythm and a full lead voice. The first part of the dial adds body and sheen. The middle is where crunch lives. The last stretch opens quickly for sustain and saturation. Even when the gain is up, chords keep their notes instead of folding into one fizzy block. Pulp sits before the amp, where your boost pedal would. It trims low end before the clipping starts and leans into the midrange, so palm mutes land firmly and down-tuned riffs do not spread across the floor. Throw the Clean lever and the drive section steps aside; throw it back and every dirty setting is waiting where you left it. POSITION THE MIC BY TOUCH OR MOUSE No need to translate what you hear into studio jargon. Put a finger on the mic and move it, or grab it with a mouse. Position it toward the cone centre for cut, toward the edge for warmth, farther back for space, or off-axis to soften a sharp pick attack. The cabinet picture is the control—move what you see and listen as the tone follows. READY WHEN THE RIFF ARRIVES Use it as an AUv3 effect in your host or open the standalone app and choose your interface input. It adds no latency, so the note stays under your fingers. The tuner is already at the front of the rig, presets can save without stopping playback, and every control can follow MIDI or automation. 25 factory presets give you useful starting points for clean, crunch, metal, lead and more. Save the sounds that belong to your songs and take them across your devices.

One banana. Twelve voices. A surprisingly serious instrument. BANANA-1 turns an absurd idea into a synthesizer you can actually play. Tap across eight banana zones for notes, use multiple fingers for chords, and hold and drag for continuous pitch glides. Move vertically to brighten or darken the filter; pinch and rotate with two fingers to shape the tone. On first launch, start playing immediately or choose a short interactive guide with a banana that really makes sound. Five ripeness states change brightness, distortion, and release—from crisp Fresh to darker, grittier Rotten. Raise Peel for richer harmonics, then refine the sound with filter, envelope, distortion, chorus, delay, and reverb. Switch between SYNTH, BASS, PLUCK, and CHAOS modes. In the standalone app, shaking the device adds instability that fades smoothly when you stop. Build loops with the 16-step sequencer, adjust tempo and Swing, then play over them. Latch notes for drones and ambient textures. Save, replay, and manage takes; export WAV, M4A, AIFF, or CAF audio, MIDI files, or JSON performance data. The standalone app accepts system-available USB and Bluetooth MIDI input, including notes, velocity, and expression controls. The included AUv3 instrument accepts host MIDI and keeps the banana playable inside compatible music apps. No account or external hardware is needed to begin. It looks like a joke. It plays like an instrument.
