Guitaritis by PerforModule
Attention axe-wielders!
What Is Guitaritis?
Guitaritis is a comprehensive Ableton Live Pack by PerforModule that makes the absolute most of Live’s built-in Amp and Cabinet devices for electric stringed instruments. Rather than leaving you to wrestle with raw Amp devices and hope for the best, Guitaritis delivers dozens of pre-engineered, gain-staged amp combinations alongside a full suite of stomper pedal racks, specialist mixing tools, MIDI chord utilities, and tuners — all updated and expanded for Live 12. Whether you are tracking guitars in the studio, performing live, or simply practising with a more inspiring sound, Guitaritis cuts setup time dramatically and puts genuinely usable tones at your fingertips immediately.
The Thirty Combamps — The Flagship Armada
At the heart of Guitaritis are thirty Combination Amp racks, or “Combamps”. Each one pairs or triples Ableton’s Amp models in ways that produce tonal characters you simply cannot achieve with a single device — from Bass Blues and Rock Lead through to Triple Crunch and Triple Power. Every Combamp contains a customised tube preamp stage for extra grit and a realistic dynamic sag feel, an FX Loop insert slot positioned between the tube pre and the power amp stage for dropping in Stomper pedals, a Gain Stage macro that simultaneously sculpts drive across both amps and multiple signal points, and a Width macro that spreads the dual amp models across the stereo field with compensating LR EQ to keep the balance coherent.
For Live 12, all Combamps have received further refined gain-staging for even greater level consistency when hot-swapping between racks or sweeping macro controls, along with updated tailored EQs and additional LR sculpting on the dual-amp stereo chains. A set of fresh Macro Variations is included for quick inspiration.
New for Live 12: Splyt Amps, ParallAmp & ParaCab
Seven brand-new Splyt Amps take a novel approach by splitting the signal into low and high frequency chains at carefully chosen crossover points that follow the amps’ naturally-present contour dips. This means you can dial in different amounts of drive for the low and high bands independently, and even drop different effects onto each chain — a genuinely unique sound-sculpting tool. The Clean, Bass, Boost, and Blues Splyt Amps use matching amp types for both bands; Rock, Heavy, and Lead use mixed combinations for especially interesting results. Note that Splyt Amps do not include built-in cabinets, so place ParaCab (or another cab sim) after them.
ParallAmp bundles all seven Splyt Amps into one rack with a Flavour Selector dial that fades smoothly between them, opening up in-between tonal possibilities. ParaCab applies the same concept to cabinet simulations, allowing smooth morphing between combinations or even totally disparate Left and Right cabinet settings for bespoke binaural stereo placement in a mix.
New for Live 12: Cab Customizer & Pitch-Down Amp
Cab Customizer is designed to augment any existing cabinet simulation with broader tonal shaping and an optional custom VerBox reverb. It is particularly effective at smoothing out harsh, sizzly high-end, and can even stand in as a cabinet in its own right when mild contouring is all that is needed.
Pitch-Down Amp started as a curiosity and became something genuinely characterful: it pitches an amp contour down by an octave and blends the result with the dry signal, combining two parallel amp models and three forms of pitch-shifting for a unique and weighty sound. Place a cabinet after it for best results.
Thirty Stomper Pedal Racks
A full pedalboard’s worth of thirty Stomper effect racks lets you build custom signal chains tailored to any track. Drop them into a Combamp’s FX Loop slot to sit between the preamp and power amp, place them before the amp for classic pedal-before-amp behaviour, or stack them after the cab for post-processing. The range covers:
- Drive & Distortion: Stomper 666 Drive (focused on 666 Hz), Stomper 777 Drive (focused on 777 Hz), Stomper Booster, Stomper Dister (four-stage), Stomper Fuzzer, Stomper O’Dirt, Stomper ‘Stortion, Stomper Muncher (drop-D extended range), Stomper Scruncher (standard E tuning), Stomper Chuggernaut (compansion/OTT-style chug).
- Modulation: Stomper Chomper (analog-distorted chorus), Stomper Flonger (flanger), Stomper Phozzer (phaser), Stomper Tremotary (tremolo to 3D rotary), Stomper Vibratorus (Uni-Vibe-inspired phaser/chorus hybrid), Stomper Wahmper (wah with envelope and LFO).
- Delay: Stomper C-Delay (chorused), Stomper D-Delay (digital with age control), Stomper Dualay (dual ping-pong), Stomper PitchDelay (pitch-shifted lines), Stomper Swamper (lo-fi stereo), Stomper T-Delay (tape modulation).
- Reverb: Stomper Somber (sculpted hall), Stomper Sproing (layered short-delay spring emulation).
- Dynamics & Utility: Stomper Comper (compression), Stomper Gater (noise gate), Stomper Glitcher (delay/beat-repeat glitch), Stomper Smevel (smooth volume leveller with Macro Variations in 3 dB steps), Stomper Toner (band-interactive EQ stack with low-cut and high-band filter), Stomper Crisper (upper-mid detail retrieval).
Mixing FX & Special-Edition Racks
A set of purpose-built mixing utilities rounds out the signal chain toolkit: AbleAmp Toner smooths the averages of any Ableton Amp model with broad tonal shaping; Post-Amp Compressor tames spiky transients after amp chains with a simple Target and Aggression two-knob interface; and Guitaritis Clip-Limit provides a dual in-serial limiter as a final output stage for guitar track groups.
The Guitaritis-Edition special racks are hotrodded mods of guitar-centric devices from other PerforModule packs: Savvy Guitar Gate (gates the post signal whilst listening to the pre signal, for cleaner noise removal), Electric Guitar Shimmer, P-Bass Contour, AbleAmp Toner, Guitar Stringonator GE (per-string resonance with Corpus and Resonator instances), Guitar Twanxturizer, and Leslee Rotary GE (vintage rotating organ speaker emulation optimised for guitar).
Guitar Chords, Chord Constructor & Tuners
Thirty-seven Guitar Chord presets for Ableton’s MIDI Chord device are based on actual guitarist finger shapes across six fret positions (Open through Tenth), giving inversions a guitarist would naturally play. They are now fully compatible with Live 12’s Scale Mode.
The new Chord Constructor rack lets you build guitar-fingering-style chords in a single MIDI rack. Play single notes through a polyphonic instrument and generate Sus2, minor, Major, Dom7, min Maj7, Major 7, or Sus4 chords — with optional minor or Major seventh additions. The Alternating Strum feature modifies the strum dial back and forth between up- and down-strokes on every other MIDI input, and individual strings have a small humanisation chance of not triggering on every strum. Works with Scale Mode on or off.
Robust Tuner combines Auto Histogram mode (showing pitch steadiness over time in Hz) with Classic Strobe mode (showing moment-by-moment cents deviation) simultaneously, with a Tuning Frequency knob spanning 410–480 Hz and Macro Variations including 432 Hz and 444 Hz presets. Taylor Tuner allows completely independent tuning per string for custom re-tuning schemes or checking individual string intonation.
Push 3 Ready
XYZ Controls have been mapped across the pack for Push 3 users. The ↔ and ↕ symbols on macro names indicate horizontal or vertical pad movement, with a pushing finger symbol denoting Z-axis control — making expressive real-time performance with Guitaritis natural and immediate on Push 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Guitaritis includes thirty Combamp racks, seven Splyt Amps, ParallAmp, ParaCab, Cab Customizer, Pitch-Down Amp, thirty Stomper pedal racks, mixing utility racks (AbleAmp Toner, Post-Amp Compressor, Guitaritis Clip-Limit), seven Guitaritis-Edition special racks, a Chord Constructor MIDI rack, thirty-seven Guitar Chord presets, Robust Tuner, and Taylor Tuner — all organised into a clear folder structure within Ableton Live.
A: No third-party plugins are required. Guitaritis is built entirely around Ableton Live’s native devices — primarily the Amp and Cabinet devices — so everything runs within Live without any additional software or hardware beyond your audio interface and guitar.
A: Guitaritis has been updated for and is optimised for Ableton Live 12. You will need a version of Live that includes the Amp and Cabinet devices, which means Live Suite or a version with those devices available.
A: Splyt Amps split the guitar signal into low and high frequency chains using crossover points that follow the amps’ natural contour dips. This lets you dial in different amounts of drive for the low and high bands independently, and place different effects on each chain. Unlike Combamps, Splyt Amps do not include built-in cabinets, so you should place ParaCab or another cabinet simulation after them.
A: The Chord Constructor is a MIDI rack that takes single input notes from a polyphonic instrument and generates guitar-fingering-style chords. You can create Sus2, minor, Major, Dom7, min Maj7, Major 7, and Sus4 chords, and optionally add a minor or Major seventh to any of them. It also features an Alternating Strum function that alternates between up- and down-stroke voicings on every other MIDI input, and individual strings have a small humanisation chance of not triggering on every strum. It works with Ableton’s Scale Mode switched either on or off.
A: Stompers are flexible. You can drop them into the FX Loop slot built into every Combamp, which positions them between the tube preamp and the power amp stage. Alternatively, place them before the amp for classic pedal-before-amp behaviour, or after the cabinet for post-processing effects such as reverb and delay. The manual recommends placing Stomper Gater before any other stompers if your signal is noisy.
A: Savvy Guitar Gate gates the post-signal whilst listening to the pre-signal. This means that even if noisy amp chains, compressors, or other processors within the rack increase the noise floor significantly, the gate still reacts to the clean input signal and cuts noise far more cleanly and immediately than a gate placed simply at the end of the chain would.
A: Cab Customizer is designed to augment existing cabinet simulations by broadening their tonal versatility and optionally adding a custom VerBox reverb. It is particularly useful for smoothing out harsh or sizzly high-end. It can also replace a cabinet entirely when only mild contouring is needed, or be used to de-harshify overly brash instrument sounds beyond just guitars.
