Hex Chain Amp

A whole wall of amps in one plugin β€” THIRTEEN original voicings, every name a wink and every circuit tuned against real-amp captures:

– Clean Meanie β€” shimmering American blackface-era clean
– Crunchy McCrunchFace β€” hot-rodded British master-volume crunch
– Gainzilla β€” tight modern high-gain monster
– Doom Daddy β€” a doom/fuzz grinder with two full channels (Normal + Brite)
– Tangerang β€” thick, mid-forward British lead crunch
– Beardo BE β€” boutique hot-rod head with Clean / BE / HBE channels
– Hi-Volt β€” high-headroom, pedal-loving British clean
– Chime Thirty β€” chimey class-A jangle machine
– Backline Plus β€” the scrappy solid-state combo every rehearsal room owns
– Plexiglass β€” vintage British sparkle with jumpered Vol I + Vol II channels, just like bridging the inputs on the classic four-hole heads
– Cali V β€” a 9-mode, three-channel Californian switcher (Clean / Crunch / Lead) with its own 5-band graphic EQ
– Diamond Plate β€” an 8-mode, three-channel chrome-plated Californian high-gain head (Raw / Vintage / Modern per channel) with Bold/Spongy variac and Silicon/Tube rectifier feel switches, tuned against real captures of a legendary high-gain American design
– Tremont 15 β€” a tight, percussive lunchbox high-gain head (Clean / Crunch / Lead + bright switch) with a gain-riding bright cap on the crunch channel, tuned against real captures

Every voicing feeds a modeled power-amp section β€” sag, presence, depth, resonance and selectable output-tube flavors β€” for real cab-pushing feel and touch dynamics rather than a flat distortion. A shared tone stack keeps switching between voicings fast on stage, a built-in mains-hum filter and decay-aware noise conditioning keep the high-gain modes quiet between notes, and everything is oversampled with steep anti-alias filtering so the top end stays clean.

On 64-bit/desktop targets a Neural (NAM) slot loads your own .nam amp captures alongside the thirteen algorithmic models; on 32-bit (patchbox-os-arm32) NAM is omitted. Works standalone or as part of the Hex Chain suite / Hex Forge.
