Guitar Chain

Plug a guitar or a bass straight into the interface. ARCAB is the rig - the cabinet, the microphone and the pedals in front of it. The other five are the studio the rig gets recorded into: the same job the pedals do on the board, done again with the control a mix needs. ARCAB A speaker cabinet and a pedalboard in one plugin. Ten cabinets, six speaker voices, four microphones and a position pad, two slots to blend, your own impulse responses - and twenty-five pedals you drag into whatever order you want. The cabinets are modelled from speaker physics, not sampled. The cabinet adds no latency; only the pitch shifter and the vibrato pedals report any, and they report it to the host. ARCOMP Character compressor. The threshold is drawn straight across a scrolling waveform, so you set it by looking at the take rather than by guessing at a number. AREQ Twenty-four band parametric equalizer with dynamic bands, for the surgical moves and the broad ones. ARTAPE Tape machine: the wow, the flutter, the head bump and the saturation, as one machine rather than four effects. ARDELAY Tempo synced delay with the echoes drawn on a timeline you can drag. ARVERB The space it sits in, with four room types and a freeze. One house style runs through all six: the same panel, the same preset browser, the same A/B and undo. Bypass is bit identical everywhere. Every plugin ships as Audio Unit and VST3 on macOS (universal, Apple Silicon and Intel) and as VST3 on Windows, each with its own illustrated user guide and a factory preset bank.
