The AmpKnob BDH III Black Friday deal is 50% off, so the amp simulator plugin costs $24.99 until Nov 30, 2026.
BDH III is one of the AmpKnob BDH plugins from Bogren Digital. The maker says the original unit comes from Jens Bogren's personal amp collection and has been used on many albums made at his Fascination Street Studios.
The maker calls this the modern take, with a full, rich sound. Its dense distortion is aimed at modern riffs as well as creamy leads.
AmpKnob is built around two goals, according to the maker: give you the best tone available in a plugin, and keep you focused on creativity instead of fiddling with settings.
It captures high-gain amps that Jens Bogren has already dialed in, so you work from a single knob.
The speaker cabinet, microphones and recording chain were chosen and dialed in by Bogren to capture the tone in detail.
If you want to experiment, you can disable the cab or load your own impulse response from inside the plugin.
Every amp in the BDH collection has a pedal switch, activated by a button on the front panel. The maker suggests it as the default mode for heavy riffing.
The standalone app has built-in recording, so you can capture an idea without opening a DAW.
It also has a metronome. You can change the meter and accent, or set automatic speed increments, without taking your hands off the guitar.
A built-in tuner is there too, so the standalone is ready to play as soon as you open it.
The plugin comes in these formats:
On Windows, you need Windows 10 or newer. On Mac, macOS 10.13 or newer is required, with native support for both Intel and Apple silicon.
Bogren Digital offers a free 14-day trial. It needs no credit card and no iLok.
An AmpKnob BDH bundle is also available, which gives you all three BDH plugins for the price of two.
