Fuse Audio Labs is giving away Amber Drive, a British valve guitar amp plugin, completely free!
In this article, we cover how to get Amber Drive for free and give you an overview of what it offers. We hope you find it useful.
1. What Is Fuse Audio Labs Amber Drive?
Amber Drive is a guitar amp plugin that captures the character of a classic British valve (tube) amp, from sparkling cleans to rich crunch, along with its responsiveness to your picking. At its core is the architecture of a medium-gain guitar amp: cascaded 12AX7 preamp stages, an EL84 power stage and a passive tone stack. It cleans up naturally when you roll back your guitar’s volume and responds to harder picking with warm harmonics and sustain. There are only three controls: Gain, Tone and Volume.
Key Features
- Simple operation with just three knobs: Gain, Tone and Volume
- Cascaded 12AX7 preamp stages, an EL84 power stage and a passive tone stack
- Cleans up with your guitar’s volume knob, while harder picking adds harmonics and sustain
- Built-in cabinet simulation (can be bypassed so you can use your favorite IRs or cabinet plugins)
- Optional anti-aliasing to reduce artifacts when driving the amp hard
- Zero-latency, low-CPU design
- Completely free to use with no restrictions (version 1.0)
- Mac (64-bit only): Intel / Apple Silicon, macOS 10.12 or later, 2 GB RAM, VST2, VST3, AAX and AU compatible hosts
