01Overview

Amplifikation VVV models three major versions of a signature amplifier that Kuassa says inspired a well-known guitar amp design, often associated with the so-called brown sound. The plugin covers clean, crunch and high-gain territory through its three channels, Red, Green and Blue. Kuassa also lists a resizable high-resolution interface, a Sag and Bias feature on the power amp section, and a 64-bit build for modern DAWs.

Three Amp Types for Clean, Crunch and Metal Tones

Mark I is described as a rich clean channel suited to softer passages, with a crunch channel and a tight lead channel with an 80s flavor. Mark II is aimed at a thick midrange and tight low end, which the developer links to classic brown tones and 70s British sounds. Mark III is the most aggressive of the three, with heavy gain that Kuassa positions for modern metal productions.

Each channel selects a different amp character, so you can move between clean ballad textures and saturated rhythm parts without loading a second plugin.

Cabinets, Microphones and Signal Shaping

The plugin includes five cabinet types with impulse responses taken from genuine Peavey cabinets. Nine microphone models are available, including the Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD421 and Neumann TLM103, and you can set up dual-miking in mono or stereo with a mix control, much like a real recording session.

For shaping, there are low pass and high pass filters, a built-in noise gate and limiter, and oversampling up to 8x.
