Your Complete Virtual Guitar Rig
STL Tones AmpHub is engineered to solve the complexity of modern guitar production. Instead of forcing players to navigate confusing multi-window interfaces or settle for rigid, pre-baked impulse responses, AmpHub provides a modular, hardware-style workflow. Build custom rigs from the ground up: select your favorite pre-effects overdrive pedals, route into iconic high-gain or sparkling clean tube heads, choose a speaker cabinet, position classic studio microphones, and finalize your tone with studio-grade delays and reverbs.

Unmatched Dynamic Touch and Harmonic Detail
Whether tracking crystalline funk cleans, British crunch, crushing modern rhythm metal, or singing fusion leads, AmpHub's modeling engine reacts organically to your guitar's volume knob and playing velocity. The software reproduces tube compression, transformer saturation, and power-supply dynamics with low latency, providing the playing feel of standing in front of a live, pushed tube half-stack.
