If you are looking for another real amp carbon copy simulation, you are out of luck.

Why be a replica when you can be unique?

Our motto is "think less, play more", and that is why we have designed PRIMO to be intuitive, no-nonsense and a fun mix between great tones and modern features.

The soul of PRIMO is a boutique handmade Italian amp, but forget about circuit modeling and static tone snapshots, this is something else. 

In our vision, the analog tube amplifier is just the starting point, the pencil drawing behind a colorful painting.

Our AI, learning from the “real thing”, has crafted two beautiful channels: CH1 for everything from cleans to juicy edge-of-breakup tones, and CH2 for roaring crunch tones and searing leads.

SOUND ENGINE

WHAT IF AI COULD DESIGN GUITAR AMPLIFIERS?

Well, they actually can. Our Neural Network has listened to several, carefully dialed in, guitar tones made with our reference tube amplifier.

PRIMO CH1 and CH2 are what we call Dynamic Portraits, and they are the product of the learning process our AI has gone through. Explore all their sonic facets by sweeping the Gain knob, and refine your sound with the musical and versatile 3-band EQ provided!

  • COMPRESSOR

    Straightforward, transparent but musical, the perfect choice to add punch and sustain to your tone!

  • OVERDRIVE

    Transparent, versatile and no-nonsense. Use it as a standalone drive on top of CH1 or as a boost on CH2!

  • CAB IR

    Store, recall and cycle through your favorite IRs in the cab section.
    Enjoy 5 studio-grade high-quality IRs from our friends at Choptones!

  • CHORUS

    A Lush, silky and pristine Tri-Chorus. Did someone say 80s?

  • PHASER

    From deep to subtle phasing effect, a swirling modulation
    to liven up your sound.

  • DELAY

    A colorful and modulated analog delay or a crisp and pristine digital delay, either mono or stereo, with bpm sync, spillover and tap tempo!

  • REVERB

    Add depth and tridimensionality to your tone with this one-knob plate reverb. You’ll never turn it off!

  • NOISE GATE

    Smart and musical noise gate. Set the threshold and it will keep your tracks clean and defined!

  • MASTER SECTION

    Input and output gains and high/low-cut filters to remove unwanted low-frequency rumbling and high-frequency harshness.

  • TUNER

    Neat, fast and highly accurate, our chromatic tuner does not fear dropped/open tunings, 7/8 strings guitars or even basses!

DYNAMIC CONTROL

Imagine if your rig could effortlessly adapt its tone, volume, or FXs in perfect harmony with your playing. Well, PRIMO can! Introducing Dynamic Control: a new way to shape your tone and unleash your creativity!

RHYTHM & LEAD

Set a Rhythm and a Lead value for each parameter: Dynamic Control will analyze your guitar signal in real-time and dynamically vary the parameters value, according to pitch and playing style.

Buono

Ha poche cose e fatte bene. Metto 4 stelle però, per il fatto che siete anglofoni... So che siete italiani, ma non capisco perché vi ostinate a considerare "figo" fare gli "internazionali"... Cosa che non sopporto!

just bought TONEX but had to have this as well

It's awesome. It doesn't sound the same, but equally good and is WAY more fun to use. I really dig this and for the price they also plant a tree. Absolute steal if you ask me. If you don't have an amp sim yet PRIMO would be my first recommendation.

Just wow!

Just when I thought I was done with amp modelers. I ran across Primo. What really sets Primo apart from other great tools is the interface. It gets you playing and away from option overload. It has everything you want and nothing you dont on a clearly laid out one page GUI. The fx are simple but quality and usable. the included IRs are top notch. I really like the way Primo handles IR import, including them in the dropdown menu with the rest. The dynamic section is really quite useful. Not just a gimmick. If you set it up properly it really does deliver on its promise. The onboard tuner is super useful.It really is like having your favorite amp set up ready to go in a second. love it. nothing bad to say.
