Amp Modeling—Vintage to Modern
The
Black Box tears it up with 12 virtual amp
models based on AdrenaLinn technology that
span the gamut of the tools needed by the
modern guitarist. You get killer models
based on* Fender Bassman, Fender Deluxe,
Fender Twin, Vox AC 30, Marshall JTM-45,
Marshall Plexi, Marshall JCM-2000, Hiwatt
DR-103, Soldano SLO-100, Mesa Boogie
Maverick, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and
Bogner Uberschall. These virtual amp models
are so realistic that you wont know the
difference when you close your eyes but your
back and wallet will.
Beat-Synced Effects
All effects are beat-synchronized to the
drums or external MIDI clock so they're
always in sync with your grooves and
sequences. In addition to standards like
tremolo, delay, chorus, auto-wah and talk
box, the Black Box has a variety of unique
effects such as filter sequencing and
arpeggios that let you create sounds you've
never heard before. There's also an
independent beat-synced delay with controls
for note division, number of repeats and
volume. Combined with amp modeling, these
effects are totally awesome. You can also
process your guitar, microphone or drum
patterns through the DSP effects for some
truly out there original sounds.
