Add in all of the custom component options, and you have literally thousands of custom amps at your fingertips. There’s nothing else like it!

BIAS AMP 2 represents a revolution in virtual amplifier design, providing the tools to take your ultimate guitar tone with you anywhere, from the studio to the stage and back again.






WHAT’S NEW IN BIAS AMP 2

DYNAMIC TONE ENGINE
For BIAS AMP 2 we worked with artists, engineers and recording studios to improve the already hyper-authentic touch response of our amplifier circuits. The result is a new playing experience, with increased touch responsiveness and dynamics. With new tubes, transformer, dynamic tone control and a completely redesigned speaker cabinet module with multi-mic capability, you now have the tools to take your tone explorations further than ever before!

BIAS MEETS CELESTION
When it comes to speakers, Celestion is the most trusted name in the history of rock and roll. Their drivers have been used on more classic songs and tones than any other manufacturer, and their impulse responses are the favorites of guitarists ranging from Pete Thorn and Scott Henderson to George Lynch. We’ve partnered with Celestion to make their IR’s easier to use than ever before, so you can forget loading individual files! Just select a custom Celestion cab and start moving the mics around – BIAS AMP 2 does the rest.

REDESIGNED AMP PACKS
BIAS AMP 2 adds two new custom amp packs to your sonic palette. Blues is all about gooey clean to mid-gain amps, and Bass brings amps and speaker cabs just for bass guitars. Add in all of the custom component options, and you have literally thousands of custom amps at your fingertips. There’s nothing else like it!

LUSH REVERBS
BIAS AMP 2 features nine built-in reverbs - ranging from huge halls to intimate rooms - with full control over their size and character. Between the different reverb types and the extensive filtering and saturation options, BIAS AMP 2 has all your reverb needs covered.

NEW
AMP MATCH
AMP Match can already match the tone of any mic’d reference amp, but we’ve made it even better in BIAS AMP 2: now matching a tone is as easy as importing an audio file! Not only that, if you aren’t all that familiar with dialing amps yourself you can ask AMP Match to guess the circuit for you. You’ll get faster and better results no matter what your skill level is, making it even easier to get to your ideal tone.

THE WORLD’S MOST EXTENSIVE LIBRARY OF PRO TONES
The tone-creation possibilities are nearly infinite with BIAS AMP 2, which comes with 100 new custom amps in a variety of genres. Download artists' signature amps, or try out the latest and most popular matched amp models created by your fellow guitarists. It doesn’t matter what kind of music you play or what kind of tone you’re looking for – chances are good that it’s on the ToneCloud®.

BIAS FX INTEGRATION
BIAS AMP was designed to integrate directly with BIAS FX, Positive Grid’s flagship amp-and-effects processing environment. All of the custom amplifiers you create with BIAS AMP 2 are automatically available in BIAS FX, providing a foundation for your ideal finished tone. Start with an amp that fits your playing like a glove in BIAS AMP 2, and then open it in BIAS FX and add pedal and racks effects. It’s a seamless and revolutionary workflow, making it easier than ever to create your own signature tones!

eXTended:
allow download preset from ToneCloud (also with Modern Vintage cabinets)
bypassed catalog DRM encryption - now allow manual edit preset catalog file
added over 1500 optimized offline presets

Warning:
Since the old preset catalog (if exist) will be overwritten, you can manually revert your custom presets by editing the catalog file c:\Users\%CURRENTUSERNAME%\Documents\PositiveGrid\BIAS_Amp2\GlobalPresets\cate.json
But do not add too many unoptimized presets - subj has a restriction on the total volume of PNG images and when it exceeds it does not load :(
A large number of presets also slow down the feedback of the interface, due to its ugly architecture - java scripts over Chrome web-engine. On the MacOS platform uses systemic web-engine Safari and therefore works a bit faster there
