About Us
Our Story
Sonic Canyon Sounds began with a simple idea: to capture the feel, tone, and spirit of great guitar amplifiers, and make them playable in the digital realm.
​
Behind the company is our in-house technician, who has worked professionally in music production for over 20 years and has played electric guitar since childhood. With a deep passion for sound and the creative process, he has developed the skill and sensitivity required to faithfully capture the nuances of rare, vintage, and boutique amplifiers.
​
Having access to some of his all-time favorite amps, including hard-to-find and one-of-a-kind models, he set out to preserve their unique voices through high-quality digital captures. These aren't just technical profiles; they’re living snapshots of tone, carefully created in a studio environment to reflect the personality and feel of the original gear.
​
Sonic Canyon Sounds exists for musicians who want to explore new sonic territory without losing the soul of analog tone. Whether you're recording, producing, rehearsing, or simply playing for the joy of it, our captures are made to help you connect with inspiring tone, wherever you are.
​
This is our way of contributing to the creative process, by capturing rare sounds that expand what’s possible in the digital realm and make characterful tones more accessible to your music, your rig, and your imagination.
Our
Process
At Sonic Canyon Sounds, we’re dedicated to delivering authentic amplifier tone in a digital format. We carefully source rare, vintage, and boutique amps, models with unique character and history that you won’t find on every stage or in every store.
​
Once we have an amp in our studio, we capture its sound using professional tools, including the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and TONEX Capture device. Every detail, from clean tones to full drive, is profiled with precision to preserve the amp’s natural character.
​
After the capture, we prepare versions that work seamlessly on Cortex and TONEX, so guitarists on different platforms can access the same high-quality tones.
​
Our process is about accuracy, consistency, and ease of use, giving you captures that feel inspiring from the moment you load them into your setup, whether you’re playing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live.
