The Fatman is based on a vintage 1950s masterpiece originally designed for bass players. It became the holy grail for guitarists through its ability to put forth tone with immense weight, but not a hint of harshness. It’s like the perfect cup of coffee: it’s warm, complex, gives a kick when pushed, and essential for getting the day started on the right foot.

• Included spring reverb and boost pedal

It’s not tight or modern, it’s bouncy and pillowy, with bass that feels like it’s vibrating in your chest. The 4x10 speaker setup offers a thick, woody midrange and sweet, sweet highs, imbuing your guitar sound with vocal-like qualities. This old dog doesn’t need new tricks.

This amp yearns to be pushed. Flick on the included boost pedal and crank the volume knob to drive the amp into creamy and chewy overdrive. Bring in a touch (or a dollop) of the spring reverb, and you’ve got yourself a killer classic rock lead tone.

The Power of the Input Slider

The input slider is the ultimate secret weapon for sculpting your tone. Specifically calibrated to mirror the highly responsive frontend of a real amp, this control dictates exactly how hard your guitar hits the virtual tubes.

Keep it low to tame hot humbuckers and retain pristine, glassy cleans, or slide it up to find that elusive, touch-sensitive "edge of breakup" perfect for expressive blues and indie riffs. Ready to push boundaries? Crank the input to drive the amp to its limit and unlock tasty harmonics.

Additional Features

Ampknob Fatman is powered by IRDX technology, giving the included cabinets or third-party IR a more true-to-life dynamic response.

New with this Ampknob is the ‘Room’ control. With it, you can easily blend in a sense of space and character. For more control over the ambient sounds within the plugin, you can also use the ‘Pan’ control (stereo output only) to pan your main guitar sound separately to the room and reverb.

Use it in your DAW, and you’ll find a handy tuner and comprehensive noise gate. Use it in standalone form, and you also get a powerful metronome and riff recorder. Perfect for practicing, sketching ideas, or capturing killer riffs without ever having to load up your DAW
