Factory Presets

We have made a lot of presets for the Buxom Betty amp plugin, many of 

them have been made to work perfectly with classic guitars like Strats, 

Teles or Paulas. All of the factory presets offer A/B/C/D variations, do try 

them out!

This effectively quadruples the factory sounds you can browse through, 

and many similar amp settings sound quite different with different Filter 

or Delay settings.

These presets are only intended to give you an easy start and to demo 

some of the tones you can get out of the Buxom Betty amp plugin.

Creating your own Sounds & Presets

When you start to create your own sounds the most important elements 

to adjust are the Drive, Recording Chains and the Tone Stack.

(Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence, etc.)

•  Set the controls of the Tone Stack to the center position (’12-o-clock’).

•  Play through as many Recording Chains  as you like and pick the one that 

sounds closest to what you are looking for before altering the knobs.

•  Once you found the Recording Chain you like best for your sound, start 

tweaking the Tone Stack and Drive to fine tune your amp settings.

•  Add Delay or activate the Filters, the Noise Gate, etc. for variations of 

your sounds.

•  Have fun!

Experiment, be creative. We are confident that the different tone selec-

tions of the amp and the huge selection of Recording Chains will offer 

you many possible combinations that will sound great on a big variety of 

musical styles and genres.

Combine the Buxom Betty amps with other plugins (dynamics, effects, 

room simulation), and you will be able to create countless world-class 

production-ready guitar sounds in the box. Enjoy.
