The Dark Amp is a virtual guitar amplifier plugin (not a physical amp) designed for use in a digital audio workstation (DAW). It produces expressive solo sounds and spacious, modulation-based sounds, with an emphasis on smooth sustain, clarity, and controlled ambience. The amp combines a flexible gain structure with classic time-based effects, modulation, and a dedicated fuzz circuit in a streamlined, performance-focused interface.
Drive Section: Smooth, musical gain designed for expressive solos and controlled sound decay.
Fuzz: A classic, sustain-focused four-stage fuzz inspired by vintage trigger-era circuits. It delivers tight saturation, long sustain, and a smooth, compressed character perfect for soloing.
Delay: A classic delay effect for adding depth, space and rhythmic repetition.
Modulation: Includes rotary speaker simulation, Uni-Vibe-style modulation, phaser and flanger effects for movement and pitch shift.
Reverb: From subtle to immersive, designed to enhance sustain without compromising the fundamental tone.
Tone Stack: Bass, mid, and treble controls for shaping overall tonal balance.
Impulse Response: Customizable cabinet voicing that complements the amp’s darker, more ambient character while maintaining crispness and clarity.
