Ignite Amps has updated its free NRR-1 custom 3 channels tube preamp effect plug-in to version 2.0.
NRR-1 is a digital emulation of a three channels tube preamplifier for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real harware counterpart, built for Fleshgod Apocalypse guitarist Cristiano Trionfera by Ignite Amps, back in 2009.
The NRR-1 core circuit is mainly based on a famous boutique preamplifier made in ’88, modded to suit Cristiano’s needs in the best possible way. It can deliver tones from jazzy clean, to blues or rock crunch, to modern bonecrushing metal rhythms and leads, with everything in between.
Changes in NRR-1 v2.0
Native x64 support for Windows/OSX (VST/AU).
New modeling engine for circuit simulation:
Improved math models stability and accuracy.
Improved dynamic and transient response for triode stages.
Improved frequency dependent triode/load interaction.
Increased filters complexity and accuracy for interstage circuits and tonestacks.
Changed VST ‘UniqueId’.
Reworked GUI.
Minor bugs fixed.
The NRR-1 plug-in for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is a free download.
Ignite Amps has released TSB-1 Tyrant Screamer, a freeware plug-in version of the custom overdrive stomp-box effect plugin built in collaboration with Benevolent.
The TSB-1 “Tyrant Screamer” is a digital emulation of an overdrive pedal for guitar.
It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Benevolent guitarists Hadi Sarieddine and Mohammed Gad by Ignite Amps in 2012.
The TSB-1 core circuit is inspired by the most famous green “808” overdrive pedal, with additional features to increase its versatility and make it suitable for extremely down tuned guitars.
It can easily add dirt and bite to clean and overdriven guitar tones, as well as make the amplifier lead tone sound tighter, more focused and more responsive to picking, avoiding low-end muddiness and high-end fizz.
Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.
TSB-1 features
Dynamic 2N3904 Bipolar Junction Transistors stages analog modeling.
Dynamic 1N4148 diode circuit analog modeling.
Mono / Stereo processing support.
Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
Variable Input Level control for better response to different pickups.
Double precision (64 bit) floating point internal processing.
Fully automatable controls.
TSB-1 Tyrant Screamer for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available to download at no cost.
Ignite Amps has released version 2.0 of The Anvil, a free custom tube preamp effect plug-in for Windows and Mac.
The Anvil is a digital emulation of a three channels tube preamplifier for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, designed by Andy Zeugs. The Anvil has three completely independent channels, with different signal paths and separate tonestack controls, to maximize its versatility.

Ignite Amps has introduced its entry for the KVR Developer Challenge 2012, the PTEq-1a digital emulation of a famous Vintage Program Equalizer.
It has been developed to have all the characteristics of the original hardware, plus some additional features to increase it’s versatility.
Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.

PTEq-1a features
Three bands equalization with analog curve response.
Dynamic ECC88 / 6DJ8 SRPP tube stage analog modeling.
Additional selectable frequencies compared to the original design.
Mono / Stereo processing support.
Switchable Eq and Tube stage modeling for better CPU usage management.
Internal oversampling for aliasing reduction.
Variable Input and Output Level controls.
Double precision (64 bit) floating point internal processing.
Fully automatable controls.
Zero latency.
The PTEq-1a plug-in is available as a freeware effect plug-in for Windows and Mac (VST/AU).
Ignite Amps has announced the release of SHB-1, a digital emulation of a tube amplifier for bass.
It has been developed to accurately model its real harware counterpart, built for Subhuman bassist Federico Fulceri by Ignite Amps, in 2012.
From well fat and round tones for blues, to very tight and focused funky sounds, up to all out distorted, jackhammer-like poundings for modern metal, paired with the proper cab, the SHB-1 can cover them all and then some. Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been took into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.
The SHB-1 is meant to be used as a bass amplifier for live playing and jamming, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.
SHB-1 features
Dynamic 12AX7 / ECC83 coupled triode stages analog modeling.
Mono / Stereo processing support.
Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
Global input / output level controls.
Double precision (64 bit) floating point mathematical model.
Fully automatable controls.
Zero latency.
The SHB-1 is available as a freeware effect plug-in for Windows and Mac (VST/AU).
