Christian Thompson has released Ample Juice, available at the intro price of $9.99.
Plug in. Tune up. Play a chord. If it needs more bite, turn it up. If the low strings need to hit harder. add Pulp. If the top end is getting in the way, move the microphone. Ample Juice works like the rig you already understand, because playing guitar should not feel like programming one.
The whole signal path is in front of you: gate, boost drive, amp, 4×12 and microphone. No pages to remember and no puzzle of hidden settings. Start with the controls you know, turn them until the guitar sits right, and leave the rest alone.
Juice covers the ground between edge-of-breakup rhythm and a full lead voice. The first part of the dial adds body and sheen. The middle is where crunch lives. The last stretch opens quickly for sustain and saturation. Even when the gain is up, chords keep their notes instead of folding into one fizzy block.
Pulp sits before the amp, where your boost pedal would. It trims low end before the clipping starts and eans into the midrange, so palm mutes land firmly and down-tuned riffs do not spread across the floor Throw the Clean lever and the drive section steps aside; throw it back and every dirty setting is waiting where you left it.
No need to translate what you hear into studio jargon. Put a finaer on the mic and move it. or grab it with a mouse. Position it toward the cone centre for cut toward the edge for warmth, farther back for space or off-axis to soften a sharp pick attack. The cabinet picture is the control–move what you see and listen as the tone follows.
Use it as an AUv3 effect in your host or open the standalone app and choose your interface input. It adds no latency, so the note stays under your fingers The tuner is already at the front of the rig, presets can save without stopping playback, and every control can follow MIDI or automation.
