Amp Room

What Amp Room is

Amp Room is Softube’s guitar and bass platform for building mix-ready tones from modeled amplifiers, cabinets, pedals, microphones, and studio effects. The product page lists five suites: ENGL Savage Mark II, Marshall, Vintage, Bass, and Metal. Suite Mode presents selected gear combinations, while Studio Mode allows further tone shaping. Suite listings include a custom impulse-response loader, eight IR Producer Packs, customizable signal chains, and cabinet captures with movable microphones. The platform also includes officially licensed studio effects from Tube-Tech, Empirical Labs, Trident, and other makers. Amp Room Suites can be expanded with other Amp Room Suites and Amp Room Ready Softube products. It runs as a plugin inside a compatible DAW host, using AU, VST, VST3, or AAX formats; there is no standalone app. Listed systems include macOS Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15, Tahoe 26, Windows 10 64-bit, and Windows 11. Use requires Softube and iLok accounts plus internet access for installers and license management. Softube lists three activations, technical support, a 20-day trial, and 14-day returns. Suites are paid one-time purchases, starting at 99.00 EUR.
