Meet Axiom by Blue Cat: a versatile and open source multi-effects and amp simulation software for guitar and bass. Based on the popular Destructor amp simulation plugin, Axiom offers an endless number of exceptional sounds to help you express yourself musically.
Two versatile amp simulation channels, each with their own pre- and post-effects, blend seamlessly to create realistic amp sound. Discover a unique amp simulation that delivers exceptional tone, an authentic playing feel, and unrivaled customization options for complete control over your sound. Tailor the tone with hundreds of presets or use the tone editor for complete control.
Tailor your sound with the additional input and mastering sections, each with 4 effects slots and a built-in high-precision tuner. Protect your results with a limiter to avoid going over the limit. But that’s just the starting point. Axiom offers unlimited potential for effects and creativity.
Over 100 built-in effects, including creative delays, reverbs, distortion and fuzz pedals, modulation effects, wah effects and more. Unleash your inner pedal master and create your own: dive into the world of creative delays and reverbs with the built-in version of Late Replies, create your own signature distortions, filters and compressors with Destructor, and instantly change pickups or effortlessly improve the sound of your acoustic guitar with Re-Guitar!
Full integration with third-party Audio Unit, VST and VST3 plugins, allowing you to endlessly expand your sonic arsenal. Improve your skills with virtual instruments in the Instruments section, such as metronomes, drum machines, sequencers, synthesizers or the built-in audio player.
Axiom is your one-stop solution with a vast library of hundreds of presets for electric and acoustic guitars, as well as bass guitar. When used as an app, you can easily play over backing tracks and record your performance with a single click.
