Amplifikation VVV

Three Major Versions from an Iconic Amp

Inspired by a signature amp of a legendary guitarist, an inventor who has inspired the 5XXX signature guitar amplifier which delivers a very specific kind of guitar tone, dubbed as the “brown sound“. It also implements Kuassa’s next-generation user interface. Streamlining the process of operating the plugin for users with a cleaner, resizeable interface.

The Signature of a Legend

What are some numbers that are closely related to heavy music? Other than the number of the beast, it’s probably this sequence of numbers: 51 and 50. Taking its name from the signature of the legendary guitarist, an inventor who has inspired the 5XXX signature guitar amplifier delivers a very specific kind of guitar tone, dubbed the “brown sound“. The amp has become a staple of metal sound. It’s on every album with crushing and distorted guitars, such as Machine Head*, Opeth*, Testament*, Trivium*, Gojira*, and so many others!

Powered by Kuassa's 3rd generation tube engine, Kuassa recreates and tweaks all three major versions of the 5XXX amps to deliver the infamous brown sound that blasts like nothing else in your DAW, the Amplifikation VVV.

Features

• 3 channels: Red, Green and Blue
• 3 Amp Types:
  • Type A, Mark I: Beautiful and rich clean channel, ideal for dreamy ballads or softer passages. Works great with PAF-type pickups. Crazy good crunch channel and a tight lead channel with 80s flavour.
  • Type B, Mark II: Thick and full midrange with a tight low end that delivers the famous brown sound. Great for crunchy and dynamic rhythm tones. 70’s British tones are the first sound that comes to mind.
  • Type C, Mark III: Deep and aggressive with monstrous gain that will please all metalheads. On maximum gain, some will say that it’s out of control. A must for modern productions.
