Ample Guitar WF is a virtual guitar instrument from Ample Sound that aims to recreate the sound of a Gretsch Vintage 1959 White Falcon hollow-body guitar. It runs as a plugin in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats on Windows and macOS.
Ample Guitar WF is a sample-based virtual instrument built around a Gretsch Vintage 1959 White Falcon hollow-body electric guitar. Ample Sound developed it to bring that instrument's tone into a music production setup. The library includes a wide set of playing techniques, from sustain and palm mutes to pinch harmonics, slides and dead notes, so producers can write guitar parts with more realistic phrasing. It is distributed as a 6.9 GB library and needs a sizeable amount of free disk space to install.
The instrument covers twelve articulations: Sustain, Palm Mute, Natural Harmonic, Hammer On and Pull Off, Legato Slide, Slide In, Slide Out, Pop, Pinch Harmonic, Dead Note, Mordent and Tap.
A Polyphonic Legato and Slide Smoother is included to make legato transitions sound connected across any interval and at any speed. Authentic left-hand performance noises are also part of the sound, adding small details that help parts feel played rather than programmed.
Ample Guitar WF supports drop tuning, with the lowest note reaching D1, which suits heavier riffs and down-tuned parts.
The library is 6.9 GB and the developer recommends more than 20 GB of free space, with an SSD preferred. The system requirements list an Intel i5 processor or higher. On macOS, version 10.15 or later is required. On Windows, Windows 7 through Windows 11 in 64-bit editions is supported.
