Amplifikation Clarent is a guitar amp simulator from Kuassa, inspired by Orange amplifiers. It offers three amp types, each with two gain channels, plus cabinets and microphone models for recording guitar in a DAW.
Amplifikation Clarent is the third product from Kuassa built on its third-generation tube simulation technology. The developer says the engine aims for a dynamic, natural-sounding amp recording experience. Each of the three amp types draws on different Orange amp models, and each amp has a low gain and a high gain channel, giving six distinct sounds. It runs as a plugin in a DAW, as a standalone app, and as amp modules inside Kuassa's Amplifikation 360 environment.
Clarent A is described as thick and clean, and suited to playing through effect pedals. Clarent B is meaty and crunchy, with punchy, mid-forward distortion on channel 2. Clarent C is a modern high gain type that produces heavy distortion with long sustain.
Each amp includes a low gain and a high gain channel. The power amp section adds Sag and Bias controls, and low pass and high pass filters shape the tone further.
Five cabinet types use impulse responses taken from genuine Orange cabinets. Seven microphone models are included: Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD421, Sennheiser MD441, C&T Naked Eye, Royer 121, AKG C414 and Neumann TLM103.
Dual-miking is freely adjustable in mono or stereo, with a mix option, so you can set up a virtual recording session. A built-in noise gate and limiter are included, and the plugin supports up to 8x oversampling.
