Audified TinyAmp: The Single-Knob Guitar Plugin – 4 Channel Guitar Amp

Audified has just dropped ToneKnob TinyAmp, a compact yet incredibly powerful guitar amp plugin designed to deliver a vast array of tones with unprecedented simplicity. Forget endless menu diving and complex settings; TinyAmp puts four distinct, studio-quality amp channels right at your fingertips, all controlled by a single, intuitive knob.

Instant Tone, Infinite Inspiration

TinyAmp’s genius lies in its simplicity. A single knob intelligently sweeps through four meticulously crafted amp channels, each offering a unique sonic palette. A clever colored light ring guides your way, indicating which channel you’re currently exploring.

“We wanted to create something that offers instant gratification without compromising on sound quality,” says a spokesperson for Audified. “Whether you’re after shimmering cleans or aggressive high-gain, TinyAmp provides professional-grade tone with zero clutter, allowing musicians to focus on playing, not tweaking.”

Four Channels, One Knob: Your Sonic Playground

Each quarter turn of TinyAmp’s central knob unlocks a completely different amp personality:

• White: Clean Amp – Far from a basic clean, this channel starts with a thick, rounded warmth perfect for humbuckers and jazz. As you advance, it brightens to a sparkling, crystalline chime with a touch of tube-style saturation, ideal for single-coil guitars and bright, articulate tones. Engage the Room ambience for a natural, airy feel.
• Blue: Hot and Blues – This channel injects a snappier, overdrive-pedal-like feel. It’s perfect for weighty blues riffs and crunchy rock chords, maintaining your guitar’s character while adding rich saturation. As you turn further, the grit builds, offering dynamic responsiveness for tones that need attitude without going overboard, spanning rock, punk, and grunge.
• Yellow: Crunch – Dial in classic British rock tones with this channel. Moving deeper into the third quarter, the gain thickens, and mids come alive, delivering that unmistakable Marshall-style bark. It’s tight, punchy, and gloriously saturated, with just enough sag to feel alive under your fingers while maintaining articulation.
• Red: Lead – Step into the realm of high-gain power. While not a dedicated “monster” hi-gain unit, this channel is engineered for hard rock and metal, providing razor-edge precision and commanding presence. It’s designed to create a wall of sound, turning every riff into a statement and every solo into a blazing firestorm.

Beyond the Knob: Essential Studio Tools

Despite its “one knob, one mission” philosophy, TinyAmp includes essential features for a complete guitar recording experience, accessible under a discrete service-wrench icon:

• Built-in Cab Sim (IR): A high-quality impulse response (IR) captured guitar cabinet is included by default, ensuring a professional, studio-ready sound. Users can also bypass this for their preferred IR loaders.
• Room Ambience: A studio-style ambience simulator provides just the right decay and size for a spacious, natural sound without muddying your playing.
• Tuner: A precise, integrated tuner with adjustable calibration (415–455 Hz) for quick and accurate tuning.
• Gain Calibration: Fine-tune the overall saturation of the plugin, allowing you to adjust the distortion level to your preference.
• Tilt EQ: A simple yet effective tilt EQ for quick tonal shaping, blending multiple curves optimized specifically for guitar.

Who Needs TinyAmp?

TinyAmp isn’t designed to replace full amp rigs or complex emulators. Instead, it shines in scenarios where speed, versatility, and high-quality sound are paramount:

• On-the-Go Inspiration: Capture sudden creative sparks in a hotel room or on the road, with a variety of amp tones, room ambience, and cab sims all in one compact plugin.
