Every guitarist knows: the search for the perfect high-gain sound is a never-ending journey. An aggressive, rich tone is the foundation of many genres, from classic rock to modern metal. Achieving it in the digital realm while maintaining the warmth and character of analog equipment can be a challenge.
Fortunately, the engineers at Ignite Amps have created a solution that can satisfy the most demanding ears. Meet ProF.E.T. – a plugin that is a high-precision digital recreation of their own high-gain distortion preamp/pedal, developed in 2018.
JFET Modeling Technology
At the heart of ProF.E.T. is Ignite Amps’ proprietary engine for non-linear modeling based on JFET transistors. It is this technology that allows the plugin to reproduce the subtleties of analog saturation and dynamics, which are usually associated with tube amplifiers. ProF.E.T. provides ‘tube-like’ saturation tones thanks to carefully tuned JFET gain stages and filters that keep the distortion aggressive and rich in harmonics. You get the feeling of “breathing” and response as from a physical device.
Flexibility in Tonal Shaping
One of the key advantages of ProF.E.T. is its exceptional flexibility in shaping the sound. The plugin is equipped with a tonal stack with four controls and an additional ‘Shape’ switch. This configuration provides maximum versatility and a multitude of tone adjustment options, regardless of use: as a full-fledged preamp before a cabinet impulse or as a distortion pedal before a clean amplifier channel. Precisely adjust the tone for any musical context.
