§02 / What's inside
Built for guitarists who know what a noise gate is.
No condescending tutorials. No marketing-first toy. Direct controls, honest models, your tones travel.
FEAT.01
Real amps, modeled honestly
12 analytical amp models — clean combo to high-gain — plus full NAM support for any capture from the community.
FEAT.02
Bring your own tones
Drag in NAM captures, third-party IRs, and preset packs. Local files, no cloud round-trip, no account required.
FEAT.03
MIDI-ready, every knob
Map any control to MIDI CC or program changes. Learn-mode, expression-pedal calibration, and per-preset overrides.
FEAT.04
Realtime, sub-20 ms
With a halfway-decent USB or Thunderbolt interface, round-trip stays under 20 ms. Single-block-per-callback DSP.
FEAT.05
Offline-capable
The whole rig runs locally after first load. No signup gate, no telemetry, no surprise account wall. Cache and go.
FEAT.06
Shareable tones
One click copies a permanent axion.cab/preset/<slug> link. Friends boot straight into your rig.
FEAT.07
Sample-accurate routing
Pre/post-amp insert points. Fixed-position effects (compressor, gate) are non-reorderable for a reason — they sound right.
FEAT.08
Native app & DAW plugin
Pro adds Axion Desktop (Windows & macOS, ASIO / CoreAudio down to 2.7 ms) and the VST3 / CLAP plugin (Windows) — the same rig, in your DAW.
§03 / Beyond the browser
Native low-latency. Or right inside your DAW.
AXION DESKTOP
The native app — Windows & macOS
The full rig as a standalone app, with native ASIO on Windows (2.7 ms round-trip) and CoreAudio on macOS (5.3 ms). The macOS build is signed and notarized by Apple. A Pro feature.
AXION PLUGIN
VST3 & CLAP — in your DAW
Run Axion as a plugin alongside your tracks — Windows now, macOS to follow — with in-plugin community preset sharing. Activate Pro once and it unlocks everywhere on that machine — web, Desktop, and the plugin.
Round-trip latency
Browser · web ~16 ms
macOS · CoreAudio 5.3 ms
Windows · ASIO 2.7 ms
Native drops the round-trip to a fraction of the browser path — the same rig, lower latency.
