About This App

BIAS AMP 2 is a guitar amp modeling and simulation plugin from Positive Grid, used by guitarists and music producers to emulate classic and modern amplifiers in a digital format. It features amp matching technology that analyzes the characteristics of a physical amp and recreates its tone, extensive knob tweaking for deep sound design, and support for multiple plugin formats including Audio Units, VST 2, and AAX Native. The app runs as both a standalone application and as a plugin within digital audio workstations, making it essential for home recording, live performance, and professional studio work.

BIAS AMP 2 has native Apple Silicon support as of a recent update from Positive Grid. According to the vendor's help documentation, the Mac version explicitly supports "Apple silicon using Rosetta" and Positive Grid's sibling product BIAS FX 2 introduced native macOS Apple silicon support in version 2.7.0 released in November 2023, with the same underlying technology. To get the native build, download the latest installer from Positive Grid's website or use the in-app updater if you already have BIAS AMP 2 installed — the current build will automatically serve the native Universal Binary on M-series Macs. Users who installed an older Intel-only version under Rosetta should see measurably better CPU performance and lower latency during recording and live use after updating.
