Bogren Digital AmpKnob BDE 120

The Ampknob BDE 120 plugin captures one of the most powerful and unmistakable high-gain voices of the last three decades.

Known for its crushing low end, razor-sharp attack, and blistering upper mids, this amp has become a cornerstone of modern metal recording and a defining element of producer Jens Bogren's signature sound.

This particular 120-watt monster is definitely not a "shelf-warmer" in Fascination Street studios' amp armory.

It is one of Jens Bogren's personal favorites, the amp he reaches for when precision, aggression, and mix-ready clarity are non-negotiable.

From the tightest rhythm chugs to soaring, saturated leads, the DBE 120 delivers tone that stands out in even the densest arrangements.

Solid Rhythm Magic

The two different channels offer loads of versatility for the uncompromising right-hand action.

Double Cab Treat

Pick between two cabs: Modern and Vintage, both of them ensuring that your tone will sit perfectly in any mix, from djent precision to death-metal brutality.

And, of course, you have the option of choosing your own IR for ultimate tone versatility.

Capture Your Ideas

When inspiration strikes, every second counts before that golden riff is gone forever.

With Ampknob, you can capture your ideas quickly and easily without even starting a DAW.

The standalone version of Ampknob includes a built-in recording functionality that makes it effortless to always stay creative.

A scratch book has never been this inspiring!

Stay In Time, Stay In Tune

The standalone version of Ampknob now comes with a built-in metronome for you to stay sharp at your guitar playing skills.

Change meter, accent, or set automatic speed increments so you can focus on practicing without even taking your hands off the guitar.

The excellent built-in tuner means you're always ready to jam!

The Perfect Tone

The perfect speaker cabinet, microphones, and recording chain have been expertly chosen and dialed in by producer Jens Bogren to capture the tone with outstanding detail.

If you feel like experimenting, you can disable the cab or even load your favorite impulse response right from the plugin.

The Future of Speaker Modeling

Bogren's IRDX (Impulse Response Dynamix) technology breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life speaker behavior to static impulse responses.

IRDX technology, developed by producer Jens Bogren, uses advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response.

The end result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great when playing through.

Impulse Responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet, but by nature they are only a static snapshot in time.

By itself, an impulse response has the tonal characteristics of a real cab but without dynamics, it creates a lifeless, fatiguing sound.

Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier. They move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp.
