What Amplifikation Lancaster does
The plugin takes three of the most distinguishable tones of the Vox AC30 family and compiles them into one amp. A Range Master style treble booster pedal is included, and the developer describes its treble boost as fully matched to Lancaster’s tone. The developer frames the amp as a bell-like, bright, jangly British chime, and the Vox AC30 is described as the amp that defined that sound and was in production for more than 50 years.
The signal chain adds a sag bias feature on the power amp section, low pass and high pass filters, a built-in noise gate and limiter, and up to 8x oversampling. Dual-miking can be set freely in mono or stereo, as in a real guitar recording session.
Key features
- Three Vox AC30 voicings. The amp combines three AC30 voicings from different production eras, so the Lancaster A character can be set against the Normal and Top Boost channels.
- Parallel Normal and Top Boost channels. Both channels can run simultaneously through a parallel signal path, which reproduces the jumpered modification of the original amp.
- Range Master style treble booster. A treble booster pedal is included in the signal chain and is matched to the amp’s tone.
- Sag bias on the power amp. A sag bias feature is applied to the power amp section.
- Low pass and high pass filters. Low pass and high pass filters shape the frequency range before and after the amp section.
- Dual-miking configurations. Two microphones can be positioned freely in a mono or stereo layout, similar to a real guitar recording session.
- Noise gate, limiter and oversampling. A built-in noise gate and limiter sit in the chain, with oversampling up to 8x.
