Amped vs Soldano SLO-100 X

Amped is a guitar amp simulation product line for playing through amp sims on a Windows or macOS computer, as a standalone program or plugin. Its modeling approach combines analog component emulation with amp learning, and the interface is arranged around amp controls and a pedalboard. Amped Roots 2.0 has four amp simulations: 5034 Fluff, 5151 Fluff, Freeman Fluff, and Mega Fluff; the 5034 Fluff is included in the free plan. Roots 2.0 also includes a noise gate, compressor, drive pedal, chorus, analog delay, and reverb. Each amp has a selected cabinet, with an IR loader and an option to bypass the cabinet section for external cabinet simulation. Amped includes a guitar tuner, and the Roots standalone program can be controlled by MIDI. Plugin formats include VST3, AU, and AAX, with AAX support limited to Mac. The free plan costs nothing; the Amped Roots 2.0 Full License is listed at €5,999 as a one-time purchase. Purchasing requires installing the plugin's free trial and using its computer-specific Request Key at checkout.
