01Overview

AMBER 2 is built for producers who need acoustic guitar accompaniment without recording a session player. Its phrases cover intimate indie songs, pop ballads and rock material. UJAM says the guitar sound was captured with carefully selected microphones to give a wide range of tones. The new Instrument mode, Open Chords feature and picking on top of strumming expand what the plugin can play, so you can shape both the part and the sound inside the plugin.

Acoustic Sound and Phrase Library

AMBER 2 uses a new guitar model and a library of more than 30 styles containing over 350 phrases. UJAM says the sound moves from clean to saturated and from fat to shimmering, which suits singer-songwriter, indie, contemporary pop and rock productions.

The new Instrument mode lets the plugin play as a guitar instrument rather than only as a backing part generator. Picking can be layered on top of strumming, and the Open Chords feature adds variety to voicings.

Effects and Finisher FX for Shaping Tone

The plugin includes 30 stompbox emulations, including compressors, filters, delays, reverbs and wah effects. You can combine them to build the tone you want.

The Finisher knob selects from 60 multi-FX chains for textures and ambience. Together with the tonal controls, these tools let you move from a dry acoustic take to a more atmospheric result.
