Listening

Three short examples, dry and through the amp, at driven, edge-of-breakup and clean settings.

Driven

Both stages are pushed, with the sag and the bloom that come with them.

Edge of breakup

The loudest notes push the amp over and the quiet ones settle back underneath it.

Clean

The amp is barely working, so the pick attack arrives intact and the note decays evenly.

Intuitive controls, deep customization

Get that clear crisp sound or crunchy distortion with intuitive controls that affect the underlying tube model.

Explore sounds ranging from vintage crunch tones to high gain distortion, all in one seamless workflow.

Build a tone with personality using unique customization options.

Pedal effects with a kick

Get that solo to stand out with a collection of essential pedal effects.

Each pedal emulates true analogue circuitry: hard clipping, soft clipping, diode clipping, so much clipping! The algorithms have been crafted to capture analogue dynamics.

Control your tone with standardized output level controls and mix controls for each pedal.

Detailed cabinet model

Swanky Amp's unique cabinet model technology ensures you get an authentic and precise cabinet sound. No room acoustics, no recording artifacts. Just the pure cabinet.

When your guitar gets loud, the speaker cone responds dynamically, adding another layer of detail to your playing.

Use the unique speaker controls to sculpt the sound of the speaker cone, enhancing its underlying frequency content.

Simplified gain / drive / volume controls

Dial in the exact amount of tube distortion you want with independent control of the pre-amp distortion and power amp distortion.

Set the input level in the reference range. Drive the pre-amp or the power amp independently, and without affecting the overall volume. Then, set the output as you desire for monitoring or gain staging, without affecting distortion.

Bigger-than-life stereo

Hold Alt, or Option on macOS, and drag a knob to start editing the parameter's stereo spread.

This streamlined workflow allows you to experiment with varied stereo configurations. Drive the right channel a bit harder, boost the presence in the left channel...

The cabinet section also offers fully independent configuration of the left and right channels, along with balance and width controls to take full command of the stereo field.
