Waves has released Voltage Amps - a suite of seven guitar and bass amps for vintage and modern tones. We have the details…
According to Waves, Voltage Amps “gets you the perfect guitar and bass tones in seconds” with a collection of seven new amps (5 guitar, 2 bass) with distinct characters and unified workflows.
Guitar Amps
Silverado: The classic American amp tones, excelling in clean and punchy sound, with fat drive channels.
Arena: Our take on the stadium-rock tone of the 70s-80s, with the timeless British-crunch.
Royal-X: British chime and sweetness ranging from vintage Beatles to modern-day indie.
Blue Flame: Modern boutique high-gain amp, from hard-rock to scorching fusion tones.
Aggro: Vicious, Metal-forward, high-gain beast.
2 Distinct Bass Amps:
Vintage Velvet: Vintage styled bass amp, velvety and warm.
Dark Mass: Modern-day bass amp, in full-spectrum glory and plenty of punch.
The controls in Voltage are designed to help you find the sweet spot of each amp with ease, and instantly match your instrument to any amp.
In the guitar amps, “Focus” tweaks the preamp reaction, “Depth” & “Presence” balance your power-amp section, and “Room” & “Cab Tone” lets you control the precise cabinet reaction you want.
In the bass amps you can balance and shape 3 sources together; your direct sound (DI), a drive section, and the amp’s natural reaction, getting you perfected tones that cuts the mix without compromising any of the low-end or punch.
All amps feature 3 channels (clean, drive, and lead) to cover the full spectrum of gain staging. And while the main use is to get those timeless guitar & bass tones, Voltage is a great mixing tool for any synth, vocal, keyboard or instrument that needs that unique texture and grit only found in great guitar and bass amps.
In addition, Voltage Amps includes 400+ presets from legendary Nirvana producer Butch Vig and Megadeth’s own Dave Mustaine as well as producers and engineers for the likes of Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Nirvana, Doja Cat, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Panic at the Disco and more.
