AXP CharBooster

Regardless of the model of your virtual amplifier, a software utility such as AXP CharBooster should come in handy since it helps you create an overdrive effect that can be used as a booster.

As regards the tool’s user interface, it should be said that it entails various meters and scopes to help you keep track of your signal. It is also worth mentioning that various voicings can be used for your instrument, with a saturation circuit exciting the signal.

Aside from that, you may want to know that AXP CharBooster comprises three different sections, namely Character, Saturation, and Boost. The first on the list lets you try your hand at various filters, including Bright, Tight, Flat, Shrill, Warm, and more, while also allowing you to adjust them.

As for Saturation, it allows you to make changes to the amount of harmonics used as well as opt for one of the available configurations: Tape, Off, T-n-T, or Tube. Last but not least, Boost is the section where you can indicate the output gain of the booster.

It should also be pointed out that AXP CharBooster is capable of creating a high-level output signal, which means your processing chain should be able to limit it. Another important aspect you should consider is that it should be driven by a full-swing 0db input signal, otherwise the quality it produces could be affected.
