Ace is a faithful digital emulation of a legendary 1950s, American, all tube, tweed, 5W amp.
We have added to the model two of the most common amplifier mods: adjustment of the amount of feedback and addition of grid stopper resistors, both of which can be turned off for the original amp sound.
Simple controls and a conservative CPU usage make ACE easy to use in live settings as well as for re-amping.

- Accurate modeling of the whole circuit to capture dynamic interactions between amp stages.
- Authentic 12AX7 and 6V6GT vacuum tube models.
- Models of the two most common amp mods.
- Adjustable strength of the input signal with up to 12 dB boost.
- Cabinet simulation that can be switched on or off.
- Selectable 2x, 4x, or 8x oversampling.

Wow this puts to shame Amplitube, to the very least. It's an amazing ROCK crunchy clean rythm amp.

I needed a good rock style amp. Lucky I found this. It doesn't do Meshuggah as well though.

I also feel there's a bit of latency if you turn on the speaker sim. Using external IR cabinets generally avoids this (which I generally do because it gives more flexibility). Great sounding nonetheless.

I have the real one re-issue sometime in the late 90s made of this. 10w I think. This vst is 100% accurate. Do yourself a favor and go scrap everything off of Shattered Glass Audios site and donate if possible.

Another Amplitube user here... Always missing this plugin since I've upgraded my computer, installed Amplitube, bot forgot this. So when I hold it next time, I definitely won't let go the coat!
Great plug! I compared it with the fender collection 2 from amplitube... my wife prefered the ace... me too !! Very closed to the Fender Bandmaster 57, less organic but free!! Wonderful job done, thank you guys and keep on rocking. I come closer to the Neil Young sound with this one :)

A very basic, but versatile amp sim. I like using a good distortion or overdrive vst before when other amps will sound too messy for my style

this guys make very impressive plugs. Last one (eq) is really up to pro standards. Thanks for bringing cool sounding audio toys to our daws. Best wishes <3

What a sound!!! If you know how to play your guitar this plug-in might be all you'll ever need for a really great sound! Looks simple, comparde to others, but everything really makes sense, works and most of all, sounds right. If possible I would give 10 stars!

With the Distorque Face Bender in front of it I manage to get exactly the tone I've been hearing in my head. Can't be happier. Only downside is that it is a bit cpu-hungry. Might be my stone age PC though. :)
Many thanx for your inspiration! I tried it ("Face- Bender" with "Ace"- amp simulation) and the result was a mighty and realistic stoner-rock guitar sound.

Ive tried a lot of (freeware and payware) amps sim in my life and this is the best freeware amp. Period. Download it, while it is still free:)

Sounds and responds like a real tube amp. I love how it breaks up. Great!!!

Awesome sounding plugin. Behaves just like a tube amp. Pick softly and it will sound clean, dig in and it will growl. Sounds very close to a Champ I tried at the local store. No latency in either Reaper or Cubase.

Its okay, a bit of latency in FL Studio 11 that makes it kind of spongey to play with. Sound is average for a plugin of it's type.
