Ever imagine what it would be like to sit in front of a massive wall of amps and pedals, free to try every combination, order, sound, and setting without limits? For a lot of us, that dream started at the local guitar store—gazing at glass cases full of pedals we couldn't afford and wondering how they'd sound together.

With BIAS X, that dream is real. You can build your own custom rig inside your computer, experiment endlessly, and save your creations without taking out a second mortgage.

And here's the kicker: BIAS X isn't just a virtual pedalboard. It's the first guitar tone creation software powered by AI, built on a brand-new DSP engine that makes every amp, cab, and effect inside sound more realistic than ever.

Step 1: Understand the Signal Path

At the heart of BIAS X is a visual signal chain: a horizontal flow from input to output. Every amp, cab, and pedal shows up as a block you can drag, drop, add, or remove.

• Place gain pedals early for punch.
• Keep time-based effects like reverb and delay toward the end for clarity.
• Want to go big? Split your path into two amps and run them in parallel.

Or you can just forget all these tips and experiment to your heart's content!

Step 2: Start With a Preset

Presets are your best entry point. Open the Preset Browser, duplicate one you like with "Save As," and tweak it safely without losing the original.

Or start from scratch with the "Pedalboard Platform" preset and build your rig piece by piece: Amp → Cab/IR → FX → EQ.

Step 3: Swap Amps and Cabinets

Click the gear block to explore the Amp Browser. You'll find categories for clean, crunch, high-gain, acoustic, and even bass. Each amp is fully interactive, so you can tweak EQ and gain just like the real thing.

For cabinets, you can:

• Use the stock models.
• Experiment with virtual mic placement.
• Or import your own third-party IRs for ultimate flexibility.

Step 4: Organize Your Chain

A messy chain can sound messy too. Keep things tidy by:

• Color-coding blocks for quick recognition.
• Ordering logically (e.g., compression → amp → cab → reverb).
• Saving your layout once you love it.

Step 5: Mix AI + Manual Customization

The real magic comes when you mix AI tone creation with manual tweaks. Type something like "'80s metal lead with stereo delay", let BIAS X build it, then fine-tune the chain by dragging amps, cabs, and pedals around. It's the best of both worlds.

Your Sound, Your Rules

Creating your own signal chain in BIAS X is like having an unlimited guitar shop at your fingertips. You're free to experiment, refine, and save tones that feel like you.
