This is a total surprise. Amplitude were a Pro software company before they made any pedals. It is why they have such high quality sounds.
It has 20 presets of amps, cabs and effects.You can download all that the full size unit has and edit as well and you get free software to do it. Yes and it is capable with an interface to make your own models. In short it does all the 'Must Have' of what the full size model does and with the same quality of sound. Sounds that compare with Neural and Fractal? YES! This is a game changer!!!
I will update ALL day as new videos and info comes out!!!

I expect this pedal is already sold out and even if you do
Once I read thru the gobbly goop I was lucky enough to figure
out we have a Green Russian Muff and a Tube Screamer. It is two of the companies pedals combined into one pedal.
The layout has a Gain and Tone for each pedal. Volume is for both sides and Blend determines which side is loudest. Both sides have a silicon clipping diode and LED for overkill distortion.
CONCLUSION___
A lot of noises good and bad. The ts side is a bit thin using the silicon diode. The LED predictable gives it a Metal vibe. The Muff sounds like a good basic Muff and with the LED you get a full blown Doom thing. I feel the blend is its secret sauce. It can make good better and the unuseable turned into the just right.
I have a Muff, the Boss ts best know as an SD-1 OD.
I also have a great EQ and a Rat to throw into the mix.
In short stacking separate pedals does much more.
Big but ...on a smaller board this could be a good
This is now by Reverb chip generations a golden oldy. It came out in 2012.
Old chips at best can have some character to the sound like a pedal with germanium transistors. They can however have some nasty analysing distortion. Robben Ford is a big fan. It is basically just one algorithm
needed and used to create a Fender/Accusonic type Spring Reverb.
The layout is Reverb, that controls the dry wet mix, Tone and
Another good ol' Octave Fuzz. Don't ask. Some are a take on the original or take on an American copy or indeed the MIJ Boss that is still not on offer even though Boss did an accidental release of it and pulled it the next day. Rumors were it was the covid thing stopping production. Voodoo Labs had a Fuzz for about 20 years but it is a sub octave Fuzz. The Caline compares well with the Joyo Voodoo Octave Since you asked the Joyo is $35.00 USD. Check out the Post on the Joyo. The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and a switch that kicks in a mid scoop. In fact identical to the Joyo setup.
CONCLUSION___
It sounds good but not better than others including the $30.00 USD, Boss Hyper Fuzz clone the Behringer Super Fuzz. All 3 are impressive and Pro sounding.
A new company from builder designer Slobodan in Slovenia. It is his take on a Bluesbreaker. Yes the enclosure looks like a B.B. The big little surprise is
it is almost the size of a standard Hammond 1590B
box. Same height but a tad wider. Dead cool!!!
The layout is as expected a Volume,Tone and Gain.

CONCLUSION___
Pulled back it sounds very much like the Marshall original but pushed it has a
gain stage borrowed from an old MXR
Micro Amp (so was the DOD 250 PreAmp)
A design as we know that can give it some serious kick.
Yes our old friend the Fuzz Face .The Layout tells us what is the same ol' and what is different. You get Level, but Gain is dimed & fixed & the Tone is gone. You get instead of a BIAS control that will alter Gain and bring
down highs and you get a High pass filter to tighten unruly lows.
CONCLUSION ___
It is a very excellent sounding
Fuzz but it ain't no Fuzz Face.
You can get a lot of good usable
noises from it. I really like it!!!

A Tube Screamer where they let you cut the 1K pokeand put it down to720Kh to pull back on that cockedWah vibe. The layout is Volume, Gain and Tonebut you have a mids to boost or drop the mid poke.
It is an optic compressor. It uses light to control the opening and closing of its signal. Unlike the famous MXR Dyna Comp it triggers fast and very smoothly.
The only downside is they tend to kill some highs so traditionally they have
always included an EQ to put them back. Diamond created an ingenious
use of usingLED light to do the job. Before Diamond Optic Comps were notoriouslyexpensiveand unreliable.
The layout is Level, Comp amount and that important EQ. It uses
the classic studio Mamma Bear ratio of 4 to 1.
COMPRESSOR ___
Ideal for those that do not like a comp but want the benefits.
Dead easy to use and with a very gentle smooth operation.
A must have for flatpickers.
I have always had a Pigtonix Philosopher's Tone mini Comp.
