Building on Avid’s Eleven Rack technology, this new hardware amp modeller promises to combine great sound with ease of use.

The design aim with the True Overdrive 1 was to emulate the way valve circuitry behaves, so that the sound cleans up very naturally as you back off the guitar volume control or play quieter.

This stompbox aims to put the sound of classic analogue synths at guitarists’ feet.

What does Eventide’s “new method for processing audio” offer that we don’t already have in our plug-in folders?

Designed to allow the guitarist to produce familiar amped tones without the need for an actual amplifier, Radial’s ToneBone JDX Direct Drive emulates the tonal coloration of a guitar amplifier/speaker combination.

Antares’ efforts to apply their pitch-correction technology to guitar products continues, with this versatile pedal-format processor.

DSP technology now allows pedal manufacturers to create studio-quality reverbs that evoke the spirit of classic springs, plates, concert halls and caverns... but EarthQuaker Devices’ Transmisser takes a somewhat different direction.

Since being acquired by Music Group, TC Electronic’s engineers have continued to add to their pedal line, and the three on review here are all based on traditional analogue circuitry.

The latest iteration of Peavey’s modelling software not only allows you to build your own virtual guitar amps, but to ‘profile’ real ones.
