Early Access
GuitarVee is in active testing. Expect rough edges and changes between updates. Bug reports decide what gets fixed first. The Steam Machine version is experimental and still being worked on. Windows is the full GuitarVee experience.
Best with an audio interface
Plug your guitar into an audio interface and connect your speakers or headphones straight to its outputs. No interface? The Test Riff plays a built-in guitar part through the same amp and pedals.
Amp and pedals
•13 amp models plus a custom head, modeled on classic circuits: tone stacks, tube stages, sag and speaker voicings
•9 cabinets, 7 speaker voicings and mic placement
•100 pedals with search and tag filters, up to 10 on the board at once
•Each pedal goes in front of the amp or in its effects loop
•150 amp presets and rigs
•Drive and gain knobs are level-matched: turning them up adds distortion, not volume
•Choose the input device, input channel and output, and see the measured delay while you play. On Windows the amp can play straight out of the interface
Band
•Drum Loop and Bass Loop start from the top bar on any page and share one clock
•Drum machine with 18 patterns, your own samples on any channel, and EQ and reverb for the kit
•Bass in 12 styles that follows your chords, with EQ, Fuzz or Distortion, and reverb
•Progression Builder: chords, bass and drums together, a beat map for bar lengths and time signatures, and the scales that fit
•Looper with eight slots, mute, solo, level and pan, and WAV export
•Metronome that starts and stops from any page
