Key Features
Klevgrand Stark - Amp Simulator is a complete virtual rig for guitarists of all genres. The ultimate suite for guitarists, Stark is a full signal chain comprised of an amplifier, cabinet and room simulation alongside a modular virtual pedalboard with space for up to four effects simultaneously. Regardless of whether you play pop or blues or more aggressive genres such as rock and metal, Stark has something for everyone with 12 unique amplifier models, 10 cabinet simulations, six room ambiences and up to 14 effects to choose from. Powered by a proprietary sound engine, Klevgrand Stark is incredibly accurate with an authentic feel and dynamic response across the entire frequency, resulting in a highly-playable experience for studio musicians and on-stage performers.
Standing apart from the rest, Klevgrand Stark - Amp Simulator doesn't use traditional FFT or convolution techniques to build sounds. Instead, a natural and authentic dynamic algorithm has been designed from the ground up to allow for unrivalled feel and tonal accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum, whilst offering flexible control over parameters with accurate results. Customising your sound is made easy with a myriad of flexible controls over each module, from the three-band EQ onboard the amplifier module, to the stereo spread of your cabinet section and decay characteristics of your simulated room, you have complete control over your sound to fit any mix or production style. For inexperienced guitarists, over 100 factory presets highlight the full gambit of tones available within Stark, letting you dive into professional sounds instantly.

The heart and soul of your guitar tone is the amplifier. Klevgrand Stark houses 12 different amplifier profiles, powered by a proprietary design that's not based on conventional convolution techniques to offer a more dynamically-accurate sound across the full frequency range. Ranging from clean and pristine tones to over-the-top, full-bodied and saturated overdriven stack sounds, Stark has something for everyone. Each amplifier features a clean and overdriven mode, enhancing the flexibility of each amplifier, making it easier to get a full range of sounds from just one amplifier. A full three-band EQ is coupled with a presence control to dial in the extreme high-end alongside an onboard Boost control to inject more saturation to your sound. Perfect for players of every style and genre, Stark is one of the most fully-featured amplifier simulators available.
A guitarist's paradise, Stark models a huge range of amplifiers, each of which offers a distinctive flavour for your requirements. Of course, owning these amplifiers in hardware form would not only require you to have an inordinate amount of space, but it would also be extremely expensive and difficult to find the most sought-after vintage models. Classic American-style amps offer an edgy and pushed sound with a rounded treble to fit right into any mix. High-gain British-style firebreathers feature a pushed midrange distortion character to cut through even the heaviest of mix. Classic, reserved top-mounted British-style amplifier models offer pristine cleans with classic tube character. Everything you could ever need to exercise your creative juices, Stark even includes bass amplifiers that can be used for both bass and guitar to experiment with unique tones in your projects.
The unsung hero of every guitar signal is the cabinet it's run through. Shaping the full frequency range, the cabinet acts as the overall filter for your sound, adding character and flavour to your amplifier. Without the cabinet, your guitar sound will be spikey and unpleasant, filled with harsh resonances and upper harmonics that pierce through a mix. With Klevgrand Stark, 10 different cabinets are available to simulate varying shape and size cabinets whilst minimising the number of unwanted resonances.
The wide range of different cabinet simulations onboard makes it easy to customise your guitar tone to find your sound. Pairing different cabinet models can have a drastic effect on the overall sound of your amplifier, meaning with Stark - Amp Simulator you have an almost limitless number of tones on-hand. Small and tight combo cabinets are onboard alongside models of larger 2 x 12 cabinets and even large 4 x 12 sizes. As well as traditional cabinet design, Stark includes several more unique models to offer more creative applications including a Radiola mode to sound more like a broken, small speaker, bass-only cabinets and even a passthrough mode.
Adding realism and depth to your sound, Stark employs a beautiful room ambience module to put your sound within a space. Up to six different kinds of rooms have been modelled, each with a unique set of characteristics and tones, varying in size from large, medium and small rooms. An ideal solution for enhancing the feel and 'vibe' of a guitar sound from boring and stale to lively and energetic, the room ambiences feature a customisable decay parameter that enables you to adjust the reflectiveness of the virtual space.
Each room has been designed to offer a distinctive sound that stands out from the rest. Onboard are neutral rooms that offer a more balanced sound across the full frequency spectrum alongside frequency-tailored rooms that bias towards the lows or highs for a more accented and powerful sound.
An essential part of most guitarists' sound is the pedals they use to achieve this. With this in mind, Stark has you covered with a virtual modular pedalboard that can load up to four effects simultaneously. Drag, drop and re-arrange your effects to any arrangement that suits your sound, allowing you to experiment with much more freedom and ease than a real pedalboard would offer, eliminating the need for plugging in and out cables. 14 effects are provided in total and cover a huge range of tonal possibilities for you to explore. Time-based effects such as lush, digital reverb and stereo delays combine with mix utilities such as EQs and compressors alongside creative modulation effects such as flanger and phaser. Additionally, you can add an extra layer of saturation through distortion pedals to create an almost limitless range of tones. Perfect for finding your sound, you can adjust your sound to suit your mix or you can transform your sound into something completely new, making Stark the ideal suite for any guitarists, sound designers or producers.
Spanning the full gambit of tones available within Stark, over 100 factory presets are included to offer something for everyone. Divided into a collection of categories, the factory presets consist of tones for virtually every style and genre you can think of. Everything from clean and pristine indie guitar, to ambient soundscapes for sound design to crunching and full-bodied grunge stacks, Stark has it all.
Since 2014, Klevgrand has been developing plug-ins to meet the needs of modern producers, musicians and engineers. A dedicated team of software developers, sound designers, musicians and producers has been assembled to provide affordable, high-quality and intuitive instruments to help you achieve your sonic goal, regardless of your experience and ability.
"In the months since I reviewed this Guitar Sim, I've found myself going back to STARK time and time again to the point where it is unquestionably my 'go-to' app for pretty much all of my guitar and bass sounds nowadays.....Simply put, it's fantastic…" - The Garage Band Guide (2019 App of the year)
