Universal Audio upgrade Shadow Hills & Maag plug-ins The latest arrival to Universal Audio’s UAD line-up delivers new and improved versions of two of their popular plug-ins.

WaveMind AmpSuite - Rev FThe Amplifier This amp sim closely recreates this 90's classic amplifier. Every mode available: Channel Select: Green, Orange and Red channels available; from clean to high gain modern tones. Channel Cloning: Make either channel have a modern or vintage sound. Tube Select: Choose between 6L6 and EL34 output tubes. Power Select: Choose wether or not to run in low power mode, to emulate the use of a variac. Rectifier Select: Choose between old school saggy tube rectifiers, or diode rectifiers for a tight and modern sound. Pedals X-Drive: A classic drive with a bit more bite than you're used to. The sharper midrange makes it a perfect match for the Rev F. Forte Boost: 22 dB of pure boost. Perfect for when you need to tune just that little bit lower. Cabinet Simulation An amplifier is nothing without a good cabinet, that's why we included not one but two fully modelled cabinets based on an oversized 4x12 and a 2x12. Each cabinet is captured with a total of 7 studio-grade microphones, giving you almost endless possibilities for shaping your tone. Our speaker simulator not only lets you precisely place your virtual microphone in front of the cabinet, but also makes the amplifier respond differently to different loads. Each cabinet truly gives its own sound, even when using your own IRs. 7-band EQ With the 7-band equalizer you can shape your tone exactly as you see fit. Chorus, Delay and Reverb A selection of time based fx pedals is included to create inspiring lead tones. Utilities Gate: Tighten your sound with the built in gate. Drop: Transpose your guitar down by up to 12 semitones for those ultra low notes. Tight: Control the low end with this proprietary low frequency compressor. It only clamps down on the palm mutes, without sucking too much tone out of the guitar. Smooth: Get rid of that icy pick sound by turning up the smooth knob. Tuner Quickly tune up your instrument. The built in tuner allows you to always stay in tune and with the built in mute button, you won't have to annoy anyone in the process. YouTube.com/watch?v=qLGzEyvsZes Read More
