Signal path

Gate → Drive → Amp → EQ → Cab.

Every stage is visible on the main panel, with separate bypass control for Drive, Amp, EQ, and Cabinet.

Input trim, output trim, stage bypass, and host automation keep the full chain controllable in a session.

Amps

Four amps.

Blue, Red, Green, and SickDess each load a different amp model. A hidden legacy value remains only so older sessions reopen correctly; it is not a fifth amp.
