Why players switch
Built different where it counts
Bass players get a real seat
Full bass mode with its own researched basslines — from Motown fingerstyle to slap funk. Not a guitar app with the gain turned down.
Settings translated, not copied
A Plexi's 6 is not your practice amp's 6. We remap every value onto the channels, knobs, and pedals your rig actually has.
Tuned by player feedback
Every adaptation can be rated and corrected by real players, and those corrections feed back into the engine. The tones get sharper every week.
From song to sound in three moves
Watch a real tone get dialed in, start to finish.
1
Name the song
Type it once. We pull the researched original rig — amp, guitar, pickups, and the full effects chain behind the recording.
2
Tell us your rig once
Save your guitar, amp, and pedalboard a single time. Every tone you look up from then on speaks your gear's language.
3
Copy the knobs
You get numbers for your controls — gain, EQ, pickup choice, pedal order — plus playing notes on how to make it breathe.

Alex
Guitar player
“I used to spend hours tweaking my amp just to get close to the sound I wanted. This makes it ridiculously easy to dial in a tone that actually fits my setup. Huge time saver.”
Marcus T.
Guitar player
“The best part is that I don't need the exact gear used in the recording. I can choose what I own and still get a really convincing version of the tone. Definitely one of the most useful guitar tools I've tried.”
Ryan
Guitar player
“I finally stopped guessing what settings to use. I picked a song, entered my rig, and got settings I could actually use right away. It feels like having someone build the tone for you.”
Tonight's song is waiting.
Search it, dial the numbers onto your amp, and hear your rig do something it's never done.

The gear notes helped me stop chasing knobs and focus on the part.
