Vandal

The field of virtual guitar (and bass!) amplification is about to be revolutionized in performance, sound quality, operation and program size.
The new Vandal serves as a perfect virtual amplifier.
 

  • The interface is logically arranged and is quickly viewable: The sound is controlled via stomp boxes, sent into a switchable amp, output into the speakers to be recorded with different microphone sets, and then enriched with an optional FX rack.
     
  • The current program size is ca. 10 MB ... yes, that's 10 MB, not GB!
     
  • Instead of simply delivering static impulse responses during amp simulation, we provide calculation – every tube, amplification stage and speaker coil are simulated.

 

  • Distortion effects act not like digital zombies because they use 4-time oversampling.

 

  • Vandal is sensitive – it can't be the case that a software doesn't care which guitar is connected to it.

 

  • "No filler – just killer“: No cassette deck, no playback module, no looper, no metronome or others – you should be playing guitar and not doodling around!!

 

Our principle in development is the following: if the basic sound of the amp is off, then stomps and FX may hide a lot and let it sound good, but that's not soul or rock'n'roll....


For this reason we didn't simply emulate each amp model, but let the ears decide, until the constant flow of guitarists' requests "a little bit more..." subsided and then disappeared entirely.

 

Hint: With the next patch, "Vandal SE" will be available in Samplitude 11.
