Ampknob Fatman Black Friday pricing is 50% off, $24.50, with the deal ending Nov 30, 2026, on Bogren Digital's amp simulator plugin for guitar and bass.
The Fatman is based on a vintage 1950s amp that was first designed for bass players. Guitarists later adopted it because it delivers heavy low end without harshness.
Bogren Digital describes the tone as bouncy and pillowy rather than tight or modern, with bass you feel in your chest.
The amp runs a 4x10 speaker setup. The maker says that gives a thick, woody midrange and sweet highs, with a vocal-like quality to the guitar sound.
It is built to be pushed. Switch on the included boost pedal and turn up the volume knob for creamy, chewy overdrive.
For lead territory, the input slider drives the circuit harder still.
The bass cab means you can run the Fatman as a bass amp, or as a guitar amp with a different voicing.
According to Bogren Digital, the IRDX feature gives the bundled cabinet simulations an authentic, lifelike dynamic behavior. It also applies to any cabinet IR you load, so the response is more dynamic than in a standard IR loader.
Yes. The Fatman comes as a standalone app as well as a plugin for your DAW, so you can open it fast when you only want to play or practice.
The standalone version adds a metronome and a riff recorder. When a riff turns out well, record it on the spot, then drag the audio file into your DAW later.
The Fatman is one of three Ampknob BDM plugins from Bogren Digital's Ampknob series. The series is made for quick, distraction-free setup, with sounds shaped by Jens Bogren's 20+ years of experience, so you can focus on the music.
Yes. The Ampknob Fatman Black Friday deal takes 50% off, bringing the Bogren Digital amp simulator plugin to $24.50. The offer ends Nov 30, 2026.
You get the amp with an included boost pedal, spring reverb and a Room control, three cabs (matched, 4x12 and bass), IRDX cabinet technology, a tuner, a noise gate, and standalone versions alongside the plugin.
Yes. One of the three included cabs is a bass cab, so you can run the Fatman as a bass amp. The original amp it is based on was designed for bass players in the 1950s.
Yes. The standalone version runs without a DAW and includes a metronome and a riff recorder. You can capture an idea, then drag the sound file into your DAW. Both the plugin and standalone versions include a tuner and noise gate.
