This is a model of a legendary british amplifier which is one of the most widely recognizable and popular amps of all time. Throughout its life, its legendary tone helped to put many of rocks founding fathers (including 4 guys from Liverpool) on the map and has been a highly sought after sound that is still heard on many albums today.

British Tube Lead 1 -- Based on Marshall JCM800*
Made popular by the hard rockers of the 80's this British guitar amp has remained a prized tone for many of today's guitar players. Able to crank out great tube saturated tone and with ease this model is a go to amp for a variety of heavy rock guitar sounds.

British Tube Lead 2 -- Based on Marshall JCM900*
The younger sibling to the British Tube Lead 1, this model is capable of great rock tone, leads, and heavy crunch (figure 9.16). While grittier and a little more aggressive, it still has the classic tone that has made this family of amps a household name in Rock Guitar.

Modern Hi-Gain
Based on the classic AmpliTube model, this amp features LOTS of gain for that over the edge distortion sound. Similar to modern tube lead sound in character, Modern Hi-Gain provides an additional take on that type of sound.

Solid State Clean
Based on the classic AmpliTube model, this amp features LOTS of gain for that over the edge distortion sound. Similar to modern tube lead sound in character, Modern Hi-Gain provides an additional take on that type of sound.

Solid State Fuzz
Based on AmpliTube 1's fuzz amp, this model is a very distinct and distorted sound, reminiscent of 60's fuzz sounds.

Solid State Lead
This model features a precise solid state lead sound. It has a darker tone and excels at high gain lead tones. It is very suitable for hard rock leads and it's gain is very stable, making it easy to use at low volume levels.

THD BiValve -- Based on THD BiValve*

7 power amps
Class A EL84
Classic British 30W Class A no-feedback power amp stage. Extremely detailed and musical, can be totally clean only at moderate Volume levels. When clean it's very present and transparent, when pushed it magically starts adding that unmistakable 60s growl.

Class A Single Ended
Classic small-power old style power amp. This will sound clean only at very low Volume levels. When turned up it will have a magic growl quality that's only possible with these particular power amp stages.

100W EL34
High power British style power amp. Very tight and clean up to high levels, typically used in combination with high gain preamps because it will not make preamp driven power chords dirty even at relatively high Volume levels.

50W EL34
Typical British 50W head power amp. Will deliver an amazingly musical crunchiness when driven to the red area. Pop rock crunch rhythm parts will sound perfect if driven by this power amp pushed to its limits instead of using a preamp's saturation.

100W 6L6
The tightest power amp in AT2.0. Very fast and clean. Use this for crystal clear clean sounds, or in conjunction with an extreme power lead preamp for metal sounds.

50 W 6L6
The softer version of 100W 6L6, can deliver a very nice growl when pushed to its limit.

LFO Filter
This complex stomp effect uses an LFO to modulate the frequency of its filter. With the included BPM sync this is a very useful effect for creating interesting, moving guitar parts with a minimum amount of trouble.

Wah
This effect is modeled after the classic wah pedal used by many of the top players from the 60's and 70's. In addition to the wah effect it also features an auto function, allowing it to be used easily without an external controller. This is a new exciting feature.

Pitch Effects
Octav -- Based on Boss Octaver*
This stomp effect is modeled after a classic dual voice octave pedal. It will produce two additional sounds, one and two octaves below the direct signal.

Pitch Shifter
This effect shifts the pitch of the incoming signal. This new pitch shifted signal is blended with the original sound to create harmony guitar leads or other types of dual pitch effects.

Harmonator
This effect is a 3 voice digital harmonizer effect. More than just a pitch shifter, this pedal will create 3 separate harmony voices with independent interval values based on a musical scale. Simply select the scale to use, select the voice and the desired pitch and play. The harmonized notes will be according to the selected scale.

Distortion Effects

Modulation Effects
Digital Flanger
This model of a digital flanger can create a metallic modulated sound.

Analog Chorus
This classic analog stereo chorus model adds depth and space to the input signal. It can also be used as a vibrato effect.

Digital Chorus
This modeled digital chorus effect creates a clear articulate chorus effect. Like the analog chorus, this effect adds depth and space to the input signal, but adds a different color to the overall signal.

Rotary Speaker
This effect is a model of a rotary speaker cabinet. Rotary speaker cabinets create a lush vibrato/chorus effect and add a tremendous amount of depth to the sound.

Delay and Reverb Effects
Digital Delay
This advanced delay modeled effect can add a variety of depth to the sound, by providing five different delay modes. The delay can also be synced to the host tempo providing even more flexibility.

Digital Reverb
This digital reverb is capable of adding small amount of space to a signal or creating a huge hall around the instrument.

Pitch Effects
Harmonator
The Harmonator is an advanced harmonizing effect with three separate voices, each with independent harmony, level and pan. By entering the key and scale that the instrument is playing, the harmonator analyzes the input signal and track the three independent voices to the correct music key and scale.

Pitch Shifter
This pitch shifting effect creates an independent harmony voice that can be blended with the original signal to create harmony lead parts and duet type guitar lines.

EQ and Dynamics Effects
Parametric EQ
With its three totally independent EQs, this parametric EQ provides enough power to sculpt the perfect guitar tone or surgically enhance and alter any signal sent through it.

Tube Compressor
This compressor was modeled after a classic tube compressor. It is a very versatile, smooth compressor, and can add great color to the signal.

Stereo Enhancer
The stereo enhancer model widens and narrows the stereo image.
