From Audient
Finally, An Interface For Guitarists
Sono is the ultimate audio interface for guitarists and musicians, combining Audient’s award winning analogue recording technology with the world’s best speaker-cab simulation from Two notes.
Combining an on board 12AX7 analogue valve and 3-band Tone control with Two notes Torpedo power amp modelling and cab simulation, Sono lets you quickly create, record and store the guitar sounds you hear in your head.
Fine tune your sound on the way in with Sono’s 3 band analogue EQ and add body to your heavy tones or that extra bit of sparkle to your clean tones.
Pick and choose from a wide range of guitar and bass cabs models and play through or record classics such as the Marshall 4x12, Fender 2x12, Ampeg 8x10 and many more.
No live room or extensive cab & mic collection? No problem! Customise everything from the room type, microphone model and placement and even stylistic tone control such as vintage and modern all from your computer.
Once you find a tone you love, store up to 3 presets on board Sono and start recording your favourite tones right away, practice without the need for a laptop or even take 3 amps with you on stage!
