Perfect Guitar and Bass Tones— Right Out of the Box
Endless tweaking can kill inspiration—so with Voltage, we’ve made sure you get inspiring guitar and bass tones, immediately. Voltage amps are designed to deliver satisfying tone in any setting, and we’ve even added a Focus control to match the amps’ tone to your individual guitar and pickups.
Each of the 5 guitar amps delivers an iconic sound, based on classic American and British amps—clean to crunchy, jangly to high-gain aggressive. The bass amps run the gamut from smooth vintage to full-spectrum modern.
For instant tone gratification, just load an amp, lightly tweak cab and tone–and you’re done. For easy comparisons, all control settings persist as you switch amps. Create your own sounds, or choose from over 400 presets by top musicians and producers—including rock icons Butch Vig (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), the producers for Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, and more—and indulge in your favorite new amp collection.
A Perfect Palette of Guitar Amps
From classic rock and pop, to sweet R&B sounds, to modern high-gain metal, the guitar amps in Voltage cover the amp archetypes we all love. They’re all here: Silverado’s clean tones, Arena’s stadium roar, Royal-X’s jangly sweetness, Blue Flame’s unique boutique sound, Aggro’s high-gain metal insanity. Each amp is carefully designed and internally part-matched to deliver a distinct, familiar character.
Dominate the Low End
Whether you want deep, clean bass, an edge that cuts through mixes, or a thick menacing growl, Voltage bass amps give you a versatile low end—from the smooth classic tones of Vintage Velvet, to the modern full-spectrum power of Dark Mass.
Hone Your Tone—Easily
Select Clean, Overdrive, or Lead characters for each amp, choose from 6 carefully matched cabs, then hone the tone with the Gain, Cab Tone, Focus, and Room controls. Voltage’s controls are streamlined to get you to your desired tone quickly, without a moment wasted.
Match Each Amp to Your Axe and Pickups
Optimize your sound for individual guitars and pickups, with Voltage’s Focus control. Muddy humbucker? Shrill single-coil? Unwanted harmonics? No problem—turn the Focus knob until you find the sweet spot of the guitar, and get the exact tight sound you’re aiming for.
400 Presets by Rock, Metal, Pop & R&B Legends
Kickstart your creativity with 400+ presets from top musicians and producers in diverse genres, including legendary producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), metal icon Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), the producers and mixers for Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, Panic at the Disco!, and many more.
