A complete guitar signal chain in software — pedals, amp, cab, and the room it's played in.
A curated studio, not an artist clone. Built by a 25-year pro-audio engineer who'd rather measure than market — and stays honest about what's proven and what's still a prototype.
Modeled curve shown — the high-end cliff above 5 kHz is the speaker cab, not a filter. The measured response of the real signal path replaces it as each section is finished.
Most reverbs are math. Tone Farm's are a place. Two spaces inside the building — captured and built right into the chain — so what you play lands somewhere real.
Lush, long, enveloping. A warm sense of place that sits under everything you play — the sound of air in a big wooden room.
Bright, punchy, hard reflections — the drums-at-the-bottom-of-the-stairwell, Led-Zeppelin-room sound. Fast, aggressive, alive.
Sanctuary and Old School aren't presets — they're two spaces in a former school building in Livingston, Montana. It's the studio Jamey Warren built after 25 years in pro audio: Grace Design's first employee, later HeadRoom's CEO. The auditorium and the stairwell are real rooms in a real building. The plugin's only job is to put you back in them.
We shipped our best approximation. Then we go and measure the real thing.
Both rooms ship today as careful models — close, but not the place. When the auditorium and the stairwell are captured, those models get replaced with measured impulse responses of the actual spaces. Nothing about that swap is hidden. It is the whole point.
Every section a working engineer would reach for, in the order the signal travels — ending in the room it's played in.
Boost, compressor, overdrive, and the front-of-chain shaping that gives the tone its character before it reaches the amp.
Spring reverb and tremolo, placed early the way classic amps do it — ambience and movement before the preamp.
The amplifier voicing — preamp gain, the tone stack, and the way a power amp pushes back as you dig in.
Speaker cabinet, microphone choice, and placement — where most of the sound actually lives. Move the mic, change everything.
Corrective and tone-shaping EQ, compression, gating. The engineer's tools — measured and surgical.
Delay, modulation, and the captured rooms — Sanctuary and Old School live here. Where it all lands.
Most guitar plugins sell you a sound and ask you to trust them.
Tone Farm is built by someone who measures.
No artist signatures, no mystery secret sauce. A curated studio assembled by a working engineer — plain about what each part does, and honest about what's proven versus what's still a prototype. That contrast is the moat.
No mailing-list spam, no launch hype. Occasional notes from the bench as Tone Farm comes together — and the day the real rooms get captured.
