01Overview

AmpKnob BDH 66o6+ is part of the BDH amp collection from Bogren Digital. The developer describes the amp as a hot-rodded, modified version of a later-generation amp from around 2000, with changes made by producer Jens Bogren. The plugin aims to deliver a heavy, aggressive tone for riffing, with a single-knob design that keeps the focus on playing and writing rather than adjusting settings. It is offered as a plugin in VST3, AU and AAX formats, plus a Standalone version.

Sound and Character of the 66o6+ Amp Model

The developer says the modifications make this amp breathe, spit and bite, in contrast to what it calls stale modern high-gain amps. Each amp in the BDH collection includes a pedal switch on the front panel. Engaging it tightens up the low end and drives the input harder, which the developer suggests as a good default for heavy riffing.

The cabinet, microphone and recording chain were chosen and dialed in by Jens Bogren, according to the developer. If you want to experiment, you can disable the cabinet section or load your own impulse response directly in the plugin.

Standalone Recording, Metronome and Tuner

The Standalone version includes built-in recording, so you can capture ideas without opening a DAW. It also has a metronome where you can change the meter, set accents or add automatic speed increments for practice, and a built-in tuner.

The Standalone version is useful for sketching riffs quickly, while the VST3, AU and AAX versions are intended for use inside a host DAW.
