Spitfire Audio Aperture The Stack

56 Amps, 4 Subs, Air Lyndhurst Hall

A record-breaking wall of sound comprised of 56 guitar amps, 4 subs on 4 levels of rigging, with sources from an unbelievable selection of vintage synths, drum machines, Eurorack and guitars, all captured in the rarified space of AIR Lyndhurst Hall.

The sound of this library is truly one-of-a-kind.

The Stack is a monstrous ensemble of electronic equipment captured through the largest amount of amps ever recorded.

Featuring: The Colossus (aka Dave), 8 x Lyras-8 S, modular rig (aka the Wall) 4 x electric guitars, 2 x bass guitars, 2 x Deckard’s Dream MkII, 2 x Juno 6, 2 x Sequential Prophets, an original Roland TR-808.

Expression Through Amplification

Four amp levels make up The Stack.

Each effortlessly activated via Aperture's unique controls.

Achieve new seismic levels of expression by controlling dynamics and the number of amps simultaneously.

Moving from the smallest Aperture setting, the tight and precise sound from fewer amps building with ferocity and intensity as you open up the Aperture ring giving you a range of sounds you are unlikely to hear again - an imagined Aperture in sound.
