Key Features
The Rhodes Vari-Amp is an amplifier simulation plugin designed for use with Rhodes plugins, combining six Rhodes preamplifiers with seven classic speaker amplifiers. Each preamp is modelled with its own EQ topology and harmonic behaviour, giving you authentic tonal variation that responds naturally to playing dynamics. The Amp/Mic section pairs seven iconic amplifier models with seven microphone options, allowing precise control over projection, depth, and character, whether you’re shaping a clean suitcase-style tone or adding driven colour to a part.
Built for modern DAW workflows, Vari-Amp also includes a global EQ and a versatile compressor to help your Rhodes parts sit confidently in a mix. Independent wet/dry blending across stages makes it easy to retain clarity while adding saturation, movement, and weight. For producers and musicians chasing a convincing Rhodes piano sound in the box, Vari-Amp provides the tools to capture vintage feel, modern flexibility, and consistent results across individual tracks or full arrangements.
Product Ref: 367348
Vari-Amp centres around six Rhodes preamps, each modelled to reflect the circuit behaviour, EQ response, and harmonic feel of its source. These aren’t generic colour stages; each one reacts differently to input level and playing dynamics, giving you clear tonal options before you even reach the amp stage. The integrated three-mode Drive circuit expands this further, moving smoothly between warmth, overdrive, and saturation. With a continuous wet/dry blend, you can introduce harmonic complexity without masking transient detail, which is especially useful for expressive keyboard parts and layered productions.
Featuring seven legendary amplifiers and studio-standard microphones, the Amp/Mic section adds more depth and authenticity to your Rhodes sounds. Shape how your Rhodes fits in the mix with each amplifier, carefully selected for their tonal uniqueness and musical response. Each amplifier can be blended with the preamp and dry tone for even more granular control over your tonal shaping. The included amplifier models are:
Beyond saturation, Vari-Amp gives you practical control over dynamics and frequency balance. The onboard compressor can be set for gentle smoothing or more assertive punch, with parallel mix control to retain natural attack. Pre/Post routing on both the compressor and global EQ allows you to experiment with signal flow, whether you want to shape tone before driving the circuit or refine it afterwards..
