Sound System vibes for everyone
Amp FreQQ is the all-in-one dubbing station for Windows and Mac
Main Features
Kills / Isolator
The brains of the operation: a 4-way isolator for sub-bass, bass, mids, and tops. Each band is equipped with a kill switch to completely mute that particular range of frequencies. The gain faders let you trim each individual band by -70 dB. In advanced mode, you get an extra +12 dB gain boost on each band.
Reverb Processor
Our custom-built reverb processor will add new textures and harmonics to any music. Use the frequency sweep to develop interesting sounds, similar to Tubby’s classic filter tricks. This unit bypasses the Isolator and the DubFilter entirely, letting you “punch through” sounds that are currently being “killed” by the isolator.
Tape Echo
Inspired by the legendary HH Slider Tape Echo used by Jah Shaka. Our exclusive delay processor allows you to isolate any instrument or sound, on the fly, and blend the effect back into the music seamlessly. Amp FreQQ v3 features two different echo flavors. Type 1 is the original Amp FreQQ echo. Type 2 produces a special high-pass infinite feedback that blends into the music in a different way.
DubSiren
Two LFOs (sine and square waveforms), each equipped with rate and depth control. The bit crusher allows you to reduce the sample rate and bit resolution, adding a nice touch of arcade/8-bit style to the classic siren formula. However, what makes our siren different from any other siren is its ability to save and load presets. Each preset can store up to 12 different “snapshots”. So, in addition to letting yourself go absolutely bananas, tweaking each and every dial, you can also save and recall your favorite configurations.
DubFilter
A powerful resonant filter with 2 modes (high-pass and low-pass) plus 4 routing options. Controlled by a single cutoff knob plus a discrete slider to adjust the Q factor. You can switch modes even while the DubFilter is active (no clicks, no pops). The combination of the DubFilter, the FX units, and the different routing options is a creative juggernaut.
2 Powerful EQ Systems
The 10-band graphic equalizer is the ideal tool to adapt your audio output to the environmental conditions of the location you are playing in. On the other hand, our 4-band parametric EQ is a creative tool intended for frequency reshaping. By adding gain to any of the 4 bands and moving the corresponding frequency knob, you get a distinctive sweep effect. The results are similar to having a resonant filter for each band.
Sample Player
A versatile sampler player with a 12 audio slot player, equipped with its own high-pass filter and a dedicated echo send. We rebuilt this unit from scratch to make it better and easier to operate. File names are displayed on the screen, the selected sample is highlighted, and sample sets can be saved and loaded. Play one shot or momentary.
It’s almost like making a remix in real time.

Amp FreQQ + Akai Midimix
Everything under control
Amp FreQQ can be used with any MIDI controller, as long as it has enough individual controls and the adequate ergonomics.
We found the Midimix to be ideal for the task, so we developed additional communication capabilities between Amp FreQQ and the Midimix to ensure seamless plug & play integration and enable LED visual feedback.
Our design team created beautiful overlays with all the controls clearly marked. On top it off, we source the best replacement knobs available, better suited for intense operation and dubbing.
Backed by 76 years of excellence
The Midimix MIDI controller is manufactured by Akai Professional, a staple of the industry for almost 8 decades.
Completely Mappable UI
Click and drag slider to reveal all the parameters that can be mapped
Each function/parameter can be midi mapped, making a total of 170 assignable controls. Multiple devices can be used at the same time. For instance, you could use one controller for loading, playing, and rewinding tracks, and another for FX control and frequency manipulation, and at the same time control the DubSiren and the Sample Player with a different controller.

The Fittest of the Fittest
Amp FreQQ can be used as standalone software and also as part of any other rig
Standalone
Amp FreQQ was developed from the beginning to be an all-in-one dubbing solution. You get 2 audio players, a dub siren, and a sample player on top of a unique array of FX, filters, equalizers, and isolators.
Classic DJ Setup
Just plug the master out of your mixer into an audio interface and feed it to FreQQs input channels 1 and 2. If you are beatmatching, adjust the audio settings to get virtually zero latency.
Digital DJ Setup
You can route the master out of any other DJ app into Amp FreQQ using a free, third-party virtual audio interface. Some Serato controllers can be selected as input device, making the process even easier.
Production Finaliser
Add a unique flavor to your productions. Set yourself free from the concept of automation. Just get loose and record the results on the fly using the built-in audio recorder (wav/aiff output, straight to file).

Zion Train
UK
“Having used Amp FreQQ on DJ sets in Italy, USA, and Mexico, I find it to be the perfect tool to select and operate 2 track music dubwise style… It brings all the fun of the preamp into the laptop. I highly recommend it.”
O.B.F.
France
“If you are a selector, if you like to dub, give life to your music, this program, this tool is Sunshine.”
Mexican Stepper
Mexico
“The tape echo and the reverb processor bring you a whole universe of possibilities. A complete dub experience. The Dub Machine.”
F.A.Q.
Is this a plugin?
No. Amp FreQQ v3 is a standalone application. It runs on its own.
Do I need any hardware to use Amp FreQQ?
No, you can control it with your keyboard and use your computer’s built-in sound card. However, we recommend the use of an appropriate MIDI controller.
Can I connect a turntable and instantly start dubbing my favorite tunes live?
Yes, Amp FreQQ has 4 mono audio inputs. Inputs 1 and 2 can be used as a single stereo channel and can be mapped together to a single knob or fader.
Can I use a microphone and process live vocals?
Yes. The same answer applies to any other external audio source, like sirens, digital percussion, etc.
Can I use Amp FreQQ alongside Traktor, Serato, Virtual DJ, or any other DJ software?
Yes. The best way to do that is to route the audio from your DJ app into Amp FreQQ’s input channels. We have extensively tested Traktor routed into Amp FreQQ using two different methods:
Method A (free): Installing a virtual audio interface and setting it as output device on Traktor and as input device on Amp FreQQ. Using this method produces high latency, so it is not recommendable for beatmatching, scratching, or any other routine where rhythm and accuracy are paramount.
Method B: Some audio interfaces can route internally between programs with virtually no latency. We have tested thoroughly the EVO8 audio interface by Audient, using the device’s loop-back functionality to connect the audio output from Traktor into Amp FreQQ’s input channels.
Some Serato controllers with built-in audio interface can be selected as input device on Amp FreQQ.
Can I insert the audio from my DAW into Amp FreQQ?
Yes, using any of the techniques explained above.

Main Improvements
Flatter sound. Re-engineered and rebuilt isolator/crossover section to achieve the highest degree of transparency and fidelity from the original music. New simpler, more intuitive operation and control.
Rebuilt EQs. We refined the parametric equalizer to make it an even better frequency sculpting tool and It now has added functionality for performing resonant filter sweeps.
📃Improved playlists. Added mappable buttons to rearrange songs. Additionally, the playlists floating windows can be shrank or enlarged according to your needs.
Overall gain restructuring. We balanced out the gain levels of each audio input to improve the gain staging process and the overall sound delivery. Deck A and B are now set to 0dB max.
️ Pure sub-bass. New option in settings removes mid-range artifacts when the sub-bass band is only active on its own
️ Readings galore. We added a huge VU meter for the master channel showing real dBFS calibrated with state-of-the-art technology. Several other types of on-screen readings were added across the interface in order to help advanced users to fine-tune their system. Not only gain levels but also frequency cutoff points and Q factor levels on each band (oscillator) and the FX internal filters.
No more guessing. A small but very useful addition: Two displays to show the selected Dub Siren preset and the selected sample.
Full-screen mode. Highly requested by FreQQs all around the globe.
Window resizing. Resize the main window, the DubSiren floating window, and the playlists independently.
Rewind stop. Before this upgrade, pressing rewind would automatically replay a song. You can now choose between Rewind & Stop or Rewind & Replay (default).
Improved Direct FX mode. If Direct FX is active, the echo and reverb will bypass completely their respective internal filters. While our classic FX mode is designed for in-tune mixing, enabling Direct FX lets you “echo out” your track sound system style.
🚥 Improved limiters (master, reverb, and echo). We changed the sliders to rotary dials and included dB readings to make things easier. When the master limiter is active, the master VU meters display the resulting signal.
📼 New Tape Echo mode. We added an alternative mode to the tape echo. Type 1 is the same echo you know and love, while Type 2 produces special high pass feedback. We also added tap tempo and a time display. Like every other control, the tap tempo button is mappable.
👨👦Adjustable Auto-Gain. When playing tunes from different genres or decades, the difference in the recording levels can be so huge that the FX levels that sound nice with some songs will be too loud or too quiet for other songs. Auto-gain is here to fix that, bringing all music to the same level. Additionally, a tiny little bit of compression is added, so your favorite oldies will sound tighter than ever. A dedicated knob allows the user to adjust how much of this process is applied to the music.
💾 Global presets. Save and load global configurations, including all of your FX, EQ, & settings, as well as sample sets.
🎹 Complete redesign of the Sample Player. File names are now displayed on the screen, and the sample currently selected is highlighted. Sample sets can be saved and loaded. The echo send slider has been relocated to the panel area.
🍱 Multiple design improvements. Cleaner fonts, discrete sliders, pixel-perfect VU meters, better accessibility to the audio settings window, and countless other adjustments aimed to reduce clutter.
↗️ Shortcuts. We added a bunch of keyboard shortcuts: open the DubSiren window, restore DubSiren to defaut settings, open audio settings, open setup, show panel, restore and center the main window, cycle thru the visualizer options, show sample player, select previous/next song (playlist)… Plus the most wanted: use the ESC key to close the active floating window.
🎨 User interface customization. Added a new slider to set the darkness of the background color, as well as a dial to control the transparency of your custom image/logo.
🐣 New installation system. It includes online activation and the automatic creation of a neat folder structure to store sample packs, visualizer images, mappings, etc.
¹ m4a files are only playable on Mac.
² Using external audio sources require an audio interface with audio inputs. Some turntables still require a phono stage in order to correct and amplify the audio signal. Nowadays, turntables equipped with USB audio output have become commonplace. If you want to play vinyl at home but you don’t have the gear, we suggest you consider this kind of turntable. It acts as an input audio device and the signal is line instead of phono, so you won’t need either an audio interface with audio inputs or a phono stage or DJ mixer to amplify the audio signal. Internal routing requires the installation of third-party free software. Alternatively, some audio devices like EVO 8 from Audient are able to route audio internally.
