Welcome to the World’s Most Inspiring Guitar Studio
Paradise Guitar Studio is our first end-to-end virtual studio for guitar. With authentic amp emulations, classic mic and speaker pairings, and onboard studio and stompbox effects, you’ll get record-ready tones in seconds.
Plug in to Award-Winning UAD Amp Emulations
With our best amp emulations — including the acclaimed UAD Dream ’65, Enigmatic ’82, and more — Paradise is like being in a room full of iconic gear. Enjoy rich vintage tones, with all the touch-sensitivity and tube “sag” that pro guitarists pine for. Whether you need jangly cleans, natural overdrive, or rare boutique sounds, you can dial in whatever your track calls for.
Enjoy Dozens of Cabinet and Mic Combinations
Elevate any of the amps in Paradise with a selection of cabinets and mics, perfectly matched to make your recordings sound as if they were captured by a pro engineer in a world-class studio. Explore 35 different combinations, curated by our own guitar connoisseurs and audio scientists, for nearly limitless tone shaping.
Explore Over 25 Pro Studio Effects and Stompboxes
We modeled dozens of stompboxes and studio effects, so you can craft an entire signal chain in a single plug-in. From iconic overdrive pedals and choruses, to classic 1176 compression, plate and spring reverbs, tape delays, and more — it all works together so you can stop digging for cables and stay in your zone.
Find Amazing Tones Fast
No more patch cables or endless tone chasing. When you pull up Paradise in your DAW, you’ll find deep control when you need it, or a simple drag-and-drop workflow that allows you spend more time creating and less time menu diving. And with flexible routing — including pre or post effects — you’ll find inspiring tones instantly.
