Immerse yourself in the world of classic guitar sound with the Whisper Tube plugin from AcmeBarGig. This guitar amp simulator is designed for those who appreciate the clarity, warmth, and dynamics of a real tube. The plugin is based on a meticulously modeled 12AU7 tube, which gives the sound a unique richness and character.
From Crystal Clarity to Creamy Overdrive
Whisper Tube doesn’t just simulate an amplifier – it breathes life into your guitar. Thanks to the “Tube Gain” knob, located above the overall volume control, you can control the “saturation” level of the virtual tube. This allows you to achieve a wide range of sounds, from a perfectly clean, transparent tone to a soft, creamy overdrive.
This plugin is ideal for creating:
- Expressive blues solos that sing under your fingers.
- Clear and ringing chords in jazz, funk, or pop styles.
- Warm and dynamic parts where the response to playing dynamics is important.
Even at the minimum “Tube Gain” value, you can achieve a special, almost piezoelectric timbre, which can be useful for certain stylistic decisions.
Full Control Over the Sound: EQ and Filters
In addition to the tube stage modeling, Whisper Tube is equipped with powerful tools for fine-tuning your sound.
3-band Parametric Equalizer with Tone Extender
The built-in equalizer allows you to shape your guitar’s tone with high precision. You can adjust the low, mid, and high frequencies, emphasizing the desired aspects of the sound. The proprietary Tone Extender technology expands the capabilities of the equalizer, providing even more flexibility in finding the perfect tone.
Selective Multi-mode Filter
For the final refinement of the sound, the plugin offers a multi-mode filter. This tool allows you to further shape the frequency response, removing unwanted resonances or accentuating certain ranges, so that your guitar sits perfectly in the mix.
Who is this plugin for?
Whisper Tube is an excellent choice for guitarists, sound engineers, and musicians who work in the styles of blues, jazz, funk, soul, pop, country, as well as for those looking for a warm, clean tone for rock or other genres where a dynamic and expressive “clean” or slightly overdriven sound is needed.
The plugin is easy to use but offers deep customization options. It is designed with an emphasis on sound quality and musicality, making it a valuable tool in any VST-compatible digital audio workstation (DAW) on the Windows operating system.
