  • The Heptode VST plugins are configured with a single mono input and a single mono output. Click on the Heptode Logo for information about the plugin version.
  • Generally speaking, the Efektor bundle by Kuassa is essentially over thirty most wanted effect pedals harmonized into three great packs. Specifically, the series comprises of the fanciful Distortion (DS3603), Fuzz (FZ3603), and Overdrive (OD3603) effect pedals known for shaping wide-ranging sounds across different styles.
  • Opposite to the simplicity of H-Delay is the feature ridden plugin by Slate Digital and D16, Repeater. With 23 delay emulations, this is one of the best plugins for when you want a one size fits all VST. It goes as far as to give you the option to customize the sound of the individual left and right signals.
Heptode introduces the new Amplosion guitar amp plug-in.

Heptode introduces the new Amplosion guitar amp plug-in. Based on proprietary technology, it simulates perfectly the tone and the dynamics of legendary tube amps. Amplosion offers to demanding. Transition vst free. This bundle comprises several individual plugins - Amps, Stomps and a Tuner - and GTR ToolRack, a host for combining up to six pedals, two amps and the tuner. Overall, there are 30 amps, 25 stomps and 30 cabs, all based on classic units. Pedals is a VST effect plug-in designed for processing electric guitar and bass. It is also possible to process other audio sources for a variety of artistic techniques. The Pedals GUI simulates real devices for sound processing: guitar pedals, amplifiers, speakers, etc.

Based on proprietary technology, it simulates perfectly the tone and the dynamics of legendary tube amps.
Amplosion offers to demanding guitariststhe same pleasure and user experience as playing a real amp.

If you have already installed a previous version of Amplosion, you don't need to uninstall it, just install the new version.
What is the difference between a channel and a preset?
A channel is very similar to a real amp channel. The only difference is that you can choose a specific amp for each channel. Just like a real amp, the channels can be easily switched while playing.
A preset is used to save and restore all the settings of Amplosion to/from the hard disk: current channel, all channels settings (amp, amp controls..), speaker cabinet settings, input level.. You access the presets management panel by clicking the PANEL button.
How do I control the input level?
You will find the global input level control in the top left panel (INPUT LEVEL).

May I boost the input signal? What happens if the input level LED display goes in the red?
Amplosion reacts just like a real tube amp. So you can boost the input signal up to the red, adding gain to the amp.

How do I control the output level?
Each amp has its own output level control (LEVEL), that you should adjust so that the output level display is not in the red.
What is the 'oversampling factor'?
A guitar amp creates a lot of harmonics, whose frequencies can be much higher than the Nyquist frequency (half of the sampling frequency). This creates unpleasant audible digital noise due to aliasing.
Amplosion internally multiply the DAW sample rate by an oversampling factor to lower this noise at an inaudible level. This factor is higher for the lower sample rates, so you get the same quality even at lower rates.
What's an IR?
IR means Impulse Response, and in our case, an IR file is a small audio file that contains the 'signature' of the simulated speaker cabinet. You may load an IR file by clicking the LOAD IR button, and active it by clicking the IR ON button.
Are there any IR files installed with Amplosion?
No, you will need to use your own IR files. There are many IR providers and you will easily find your preferred speaker cabinet IR's, including free ones.
However, you can find a couple of free IRs made by Heptode here !
What is the purpose of the HiCut button?

Free Guitar Effects Vst Plugins

The HiCut button activates a Heptode proprietary filter that provides a simple but very efficient Speaker Cabinet Simulator, even without any IR file.
You may use an IR alone, an IR + HiCut filter, the HiCut filter alone, or none of them (in that case, an external Speaker Cabinet Simulator may be necessary).
Is there any difference between Heptode analog and digital simulation technologies?
Not really. Heptode has always been working on both analog and digital technologies and the same methodology is used for both.
Is the license valid for all user accounts?
Yes, the license is valid for all user accounts on the same machine. Each user will have to activate the license using the same License Key.
Where can I find the free Virtual Deep Crunch and Virtual Heavy Tone VST plug-ins ?
You may use these IR files freely, but you may not sell, rent, lease them nor integrate them in another free or commercial product.
