amplab 0.7.2 is out.
This update continues the work on dynamic cabinet behavior under heavier master load and overload pressure. I also added a new NoiseGate module and finally implemented mirrored Windows audio output for the standalone version, which makes realtime demo/video recording much less painful on ASIO setups.
I finally managed to record a proper realtime demo video as well:
Also, Iron Stack v0.2.1 available.

Amplab 0.8.0 and Iron Stack 0.4.0 are now also available as free experimental Android builds.
They includes the full signal chain: gate, drive, preamp, power amp and cabinet. A USB audio interface is recommended. Latency and stability depend on the Android device.
Also free desktop demo for Iron Stack is also available.

Amplab v0.8.1 — Release changes
* New interface with a more intuitive signal flow layout
* Replaced custom controls with native rotary knobs for improved usability
* Reworked British amp models for more authentic voicing and gain structure
* Better transition from classic crunch to high-gain tones
* Refined Green OD behavior and interaction with amp stages
* Revoiced Steel Distortion with stronger low-end response
* Added a slight fuzz-like character at the edge of saturation for Steel Distortion
* Reduced cabinet buzzing at lower gain settings
* Smoother transition into cabinet saturation under light playing dynamics
* Improved overall consistency of dynamic cabinet behavior
A new demo is also available, showcasing the updated interface, the revised British amp tones and the drive section in action:
The demo was recorded using a Fishman Fluence Classic bridge humbucker in full humbucking mode (no coil split).
