Focusrite Focusrite Guitar FX Suite

Focusrite's Guitar FX Plug-in Suite includes eleven professional VST/AU plug- ins, ideal for today's guitarist. These include five of the world's finest guitar amp models and four distortion pedal effects, all courtesy of Italian software company 'Overloud'; experts in the field of accurate Guitar Amp modeling. A 'hot tuna' guitar tuner and 'smart' hum remover are also provided.

The amp models include plug-ins based on the Vox AC30, Marshall JCM900, Fender Twin, MESA Boogie Rectifier and the Fender Bassman. The pedal models include plug-ins based on the Boss DS-1, the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Electro Harmonix Big Muff and the Dunlop Fuzz Face.

The amp and pedal models utilise Overloud's renowned analogue modelling technology, which faithfully reproduces every detail of an analogue tone. It also ensures perfect reproduction of parameter behaviour, so you always feel like you're controlling the real hardware. With Overloud's analogue modelling technology, each component of the schematic has its own mathematical model. After this rather raw scientific step, the resulting tone is fine tuned by ear. Overloud don't, unlike many modelling companies, use standard widely available DSP techniques to obtain a tone that only vaguely resembles the original one. Instead, custom developed non-standard DSP techniques reproduce every detail of the original tone.

Finally, each Guitar FX Suite plug-in provides a host of initial pre-sets, providing a number of great tones for you to audition immediately. You can also save and recall custom pre-sets, building a vast library of your own customised tones over time
