We are pleased to announce that we’ve partnered with AIDA DSP to bring one of the most requested features to Stratus: AI Amp Modeling.

AIDA-X brings high-quality AI amp modeling with unparalleled feel and performance to Stratus’ compact but powerful hardware. Unlike other pedal-based modelers, Stratus can run AIDA-powered effects in series with other effects in your chain, including time-based effects like reverb and delay.

Introducing JCVM Lite: British Tone

For those who crave the roaring sound of high gain distortion and crushing power chords, the JCVM plugin is an absolute beast with a twist. Modeled after the legendary Marshall JVM410H* amp head (with cabinet included), this plugin brings unparalleled versatility.

JCVM Lite will be available very soon on Stratus alongside other premium amp models by AIDA DSP sometime in mid-to-late September! The Pro version will arrive later this year, with additional capabilities like multiple model selects and the option to upgrade from the Lite version at launch.

AIDA-X: Load Your Favorite Amps

AIDA-X is the most versatile AI modeler for guitar amps. AIDA-X is the foundational system used inside AIDA DSP’s premium amp models, like JCVM, and is efficient enough to run on Stratus in series with other effects in your chain.

AIDA-X will be available as its own plugin on Stratus sometime later this year, and is the perfect way to bring all of your favorite amps with you wherever you go.

Thanks again for being part of the Chaos Audio family, and we can’t wait for you to see what else we have in store. 🙌
