GT-1000 Version 4.0: New X Amps and More

The new Version 4.0 adds even more creative features to the GT-1000 platform, including three new high-gain guitar amp types that showcase the ongoing evolution of our advanced AIRD and MDP technologies:

X-Ultra—Inspired by the classic British stack amp, modified with a modern multi-stage gain circuit. MDP provides intelligent clipping control at each gain stage to achieve an extended dynamic response that traditional analog designs can’t match.

X-Optima—Many high-gain tube amps struggle to balance chords and single notes. X-Optima features a new, innovative gain algorithm that maximizes MDP’s adaptive frequency modeling, delivering well-defined rhythmic tones and excellent leads that blend perfectly in any mix.

X-Titan—This amp type offers a very clear sound, ideal for aggressive metal with heavy riffs. MDP delivers crisp, articulate low strings while preserving the body and thickness of the highs—an excellent combination for playing down-tuned guitars and extended range seven- or eight-string guitars.
