The Ignite Amps project was born in 2006, by the desire of two musicians to come out of the canons of the conventional amplification music market, trying to undermine the need to adapt to "pre-packaged" products. Our approach was simply to start building what we needed.
We've been coding our amp simulations since 2009 and we know a thing or two about how analog modeling works by now. Our plugins are known worldwide and recognized by many as the best out there. Try us: ask us for your custom physical amplifier and we'll provide you with an incredibly accurate software simulation for it before we even start the actual build, so you can try the simulation and feedback us to get to your exact dream amplifier.
SoftwareAfter simulating your custom amp using our state of the art software, we can start the physical build. This is something we do with great pride and passion, taking inspiration from the best Italian engineers and crasftsmen that during the last century created some of what now are the best car brands in the world. Top shelf engineering paired with passionate, dedicated work for the ultimate tone.
