Two Notes Audio Engineering has officially unleashed GENOME v1.14, a massive update that brings the “British Invasion” straight to your digital rig. With three all-new premium TSM-Ai amplifiers and a hot-rodded update to a fan favorite, this release is all about vintage authority, boutique finesse, and raw attitude.
Two Notes Updates Genome
The “British Invasion” isn’t just a catchphrase; it’s the core philosophy behind the latest expansion for GENOME. The update introduces three new amplifiers—Albion Astria, Albion ’92, and NastyFoxy—each meticulously modeled after legendary circuits that defined the sound of rock and roll across the pond.
Whether you are looking for the pristine chime of a modded Vox, the thundering low-end of a Marshall Super Bass, or the boutique refinement of modern British tube amps, v1.14 delivers it with the exceptional touch response players expect from Two Notes’ Tube Stage Modeling (TSM) technology.
Watch the official trailer below to see the new gear in action:
Meet the New Amps
Albion Astria
Inspired by the Marshall Astoria Dual AST3
For players who demand versatility, the Albion Astria offers boutique British tone with a modern twist. It is designed to deliver expressive cleans that can be pushed into a refined breakup. It’s all about touch sensitivity here; the amp responds dynamically to your pick attack and volume knob, making it perfect for blues, fusion, and classic rock where nuance is key.
Albion ’92
Inspired by the Marshall Super Bass “1992”
If you need to move some air, the Albion ’92 is your new weapon of choice. Based on the legendary Super Bass circuit, this model provides bold low-end and rounded mids that sit perfectly in a mix. Two Notes has also added a Variac mode, giving users an alternate feel and response that mimics the “sag” and compression of a voltage-starved amplifier—a trick used by rock icons for decades to get that “brown sound.”
NastyFoxy
Inspired by a modded Vox AC100
The NastyFoxy takes the chimey, top-end sparkle of the AC100 and pushes it into dangerous territory. This is a fearless take on the classic circuit, featuring multiple gain stages for everything from jangle to roar. The standout feature is the mid-focused WARNING control, which lets you dial in unruly, aggressive textures when you need to cut through a dense mix.
A Free Boost for the Albion ’59
The update isn’t just about paid add-ons. One of GENOME’s most iconic stock amplifiers, the Albion ’59 (a Plexi-style classic), has received a significant upgrade.
The amp now features a CLASSIC / HOT switch:
-
CLASSIC: Delivers the familiar, warm Plexi character users already know.
-
HOT: Revoices the amp for increased articulation, rawer response, and sharper presence.
This new mode is ideal for players who want the soul of the original ’59 but need extra “cut” and immediacy for modern production styles.
