01Overview

Lifeline Re-Amp is an amp simulator-style effect from Excite Audio. It focuses on re-amping: passing a sound through speaker emulations to shape its tone and add a sense of space. The developer says it can move microphones, switch speakers and add effects in a few clicks, work that once required a studio setup. It is available in VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone formats for Windows and macOS, and includes 50 presets.

Speaker emulations and character

Lifeline Re-Amp includes eight speaker emulations grouped into four types. Device emulations cover small consumer electronics such as phone and laptop speakers. Cabinet emulations cover medium-sized guitar cabinets. Monitor emulations cover larger studio monitors with a rich frequency response. Vintage emulations use impulse responses from vintage recording equipment, including a classic 8-track cassette recorder and a ribbon microphone.

Speaker Age, Speaker Size and Drive controls shape each emulation, and Bass Separation adjusts the low end.

Mic placement, gain and routing controls

Close Mic and Room Mic controls let you set distance and blend between the two, which helps place a sound in a space. Output Gain, Tone and Dry/Wet Mix give you control over the final level and balance.

Multiband processing applies to gain and effect processing, and the plugin has input and output gain controls, a global bypass and a resizeable interface. The plugin is listed with zero latency.
