Presonus Ampire Acid Test - How Do These Amp Models Sound In The Hands Of A Pro Guitarist?

Debuted in 2019’s release of Studio One 4.6, Presonus revamped their guitar amp modelling system Ampire developed using Presonus’ State Space Modeling.

We published a short example showing you two models using a prerelease copy of Ampire running in Pro Tools. Oh yes, Ampire isn’t exclusive to Studio One! AAX, AU and VST DAW users now have access and can enjoy Ampire outside of Studio One.

We’ve plugged back into the virtual heads once again to show you four further Ampire demonstrations, this time in the very capable hands of Paul “The Axe Man” Drew, who we regard in The Production Expert Team as our guitar wizard.
