Ample Slide Lapsteel captures the authentic sound of a 1970s Jedson Lap Steel, famously associated with David Gilmour, featuring a single EMG pickup. The instrument’s comprehensive sample library, totaling 2.8 GB, offers both stereo and mono modes, delivering rich and expressive tonal options. It includes nine distinct articulations such as sustain, legato slide, natural harmonic, and glissando, allowing musicians to recreate the nuanced performance techniques of slide guitar playing with remarkable realism.

This VST employs an advanced legato slide system tailored specifically for slide guitars, combining virtual slide algorithms with real samples to produce dynamic tonal shifts depending on the timing and length of slides. The SAHDS modulation system enhances the expressiveness by enabling endless articulation possibilities, from subtle vibratos to complex polyphonic slides. The built-in riffer supports up to 64 measures and offers detailed control over notes, including pitch, velocity, articulation, and vibrato, supported by an intuitive string roll editor and multiple MIDI editing tools for intricate lick creation.

Ample Slide Lapsteel features a versatile AMP simulator with six classic amplifier models inspired by iconic brands, paired with seven cabinet types and eight microphone options per cabinet for tailored tonal shaping. Its effects suite includes an 8-band EQ with real-time spectrum visualization, a dual-mode compressor, a 6-tap echo with individual tap control, and an IR reverb offering multiple room simulations with 3D spectrum visualization. These components combine to provide a complete, immersive environment for crafting authentic and expressive lap steel guitar sounds.
