Ampire XT

Ampire is an easy-to-use amplifier-modeling plug-in that features a wide range of guitar- and bass-amplifier models,

convolution-modeled speaker cabinets, with variable microphone positioning and effects stompboxes. Use this effect to

emulate guitar amplifiers and cabinets and create rougher, harmonically enriched sounds. The following parameters are

available in Ampire XT:

Amplifier Model Select the characteristics of the amplifier directly by clicking on the Model selection box. The

amp model changes the characteristics of the entire amplifier, including preamp and power amp distortion and

amplification, A- and B-channel differences, and tone stack behavior. Select Legacy Amp from this menu to

access the models available in Studio One 1.

Input Gain Trim the input gain directly at Ampire’s input to pull up weak instrument signals or to attenuate loud,

processed signals. With a good input level, the signal is in the optimal range for dynamic distortion within Ampire.

Variable from -12 dB to 24 dB. This parameter is not saved with each preset. It stays at a static setting for each

instance of Ampire XT until you change it.

A and B Channels The A and B channels have different distortion and amplification strength, depending on the

selected amp model. Use the channels to create two different sounds (e.g., rhythm and solo, or chorus and

verse) and switch between them.

Drive Adjusts the degree of overdrive/amplification in the preamplifier. Variable from 0 to 11.

Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence Controls the emulation of the tone stack model (results dependent on

the selected amp model). Each parameter is variable from 0 to 10.

Gain Adjusts the degree of overdrive/amplification in the power amplifier. Variable from 0 to 11.
