Amped is a guitar amp simulation product line for playing guitar through a computer, either as a standalone program or a plugin. Its amp modeling combines analog component emulation with amp learning, and its interface uses amp-style controls and a pedalboard layout. Amped Roots 2.0 includes four amp simulations: 5034 Fluff, 5151 Fluff, Freeman Fluff, and Mega Fluff; 5034 Fluff is available in the free plan. Effects include a noise gate, compressor, drive pedal, chorus, analog delay, and reverb. Each amp has a selected cabinet, and an IR loader and cab-bypass option support external cabinet simulation. The platform includes a guitar tuner, while the standalone Roots program supports MIDI control. Plugin formats are VST3, AU, and AAX, with AAX support limited to Mac. Amped runs on Windows and macOS. The free plan is 0.00 EUR per free; the full license is listed at 5999.00 EUR per once. A free trial is available, and the maker says the full license is emailed after purchase.
