SoftAmp GT is a virtual guitar amplifier emulator that faithfully replicates a renowned analog stomp-box known for its solid-state circuit design. It uses op-amps to saturate the signal and employs moderate filtering to shape the overall tone throughout the signal path. The speaker simulation is crafted with a steep low-pass filter combined with mid-frequency adjustments to mimic different microphone placements, providing authentic tonal variations. All original device controls are included, along with additional unique features that expand its sonic capabilities.

This plug-in offers a range of amplifier types, from classic American clean Tweed sounds to British crunch and modern high-gain California amps. It also features multiple gain structures including clean, hi-gain, and a hot wired setting with a high-frequency boost. Users can select virtual microphone positions such as classic distant, bright center, and off-axis placements for subtle tonal differences. A standout feature is the clipping mode control, which allows switching between normal hard clipping, soft symmetric clipping, and a triode simulation that introduces dynamic asymmetric clipping with harmonic richness, closely emulating tube behavior.

Additional functionalities include a 16x oversampling mode that enhances filter accuracy and reduces aliasing artifacts, especially at standard audio sample rates. The embedded speaker simulation can be disabled for use with external speaker simulators, and a mono/stereo switch helps optimize CPU performance by reducing processing load when stereo output is unnecessary. The user interface provides detailed visual feedback with transfer function scopes and frequency response plots, aiding precise sound shaping. This plug-in comes with presets for quick setup and is licensed for unlimited use, including commercial projects, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of users.
