2.8 The StealthPedal System Structure

This­section­explains­how­the­StealthPedal­system­is­structured­and­how­its­components­interact­with­each­other.

The­StealthPedal­system­consists­of­the­following­components:•­ StealthPedal­USB­Floor­controller­and­audio­interface.•­ Mac­or­PC­host­computer­(see­Installation­and­Authorization­Manual­

for­system­requirements).•­ AmpliTube­software­installed­on­the­Mac­or­PC­computer.•­ StealthPedal­MIDI­Control­application.

StealthPedal­is­a­USB­Audio­Interface­and­Controller­specifically­designed­to­control­IK­Multimedia­“Powered­By­AmpliTube”­software­modeling­proces-sors.­StealthPedal­is­designed­to­work­in­combination­with­a­core­software­application­called­“AmpliTube”­that­runs­on­the­host­computer.

With­ StealthPedal­ you­ can­ go­ onstage­ comfortably,­ without­ heavy­ guitar­amplifiers­and­stomp­pedals.­The­StealthPedal­system­gives­you­access­ to­hundreds­ of­ extremely­ accurate­ digital­ models­ of­ sought-after­ pieces­ of­gear,­with­a­convenient­small­footprint,­all­in­one­device.­Bring­onstage­the­sounds­ that­ you­ use­ in­ your­ productions,­ create­ custom­ controls­ for­ each­Patch­and­lots­more.­Go­in­the­studio­and­remotely­control­all­of­your­favorite­“Powered­by­Amplitube”­processors­within­the­AmpliTube­“shell”.­You­will­be­able­to­use­StealthPedal­as­a­remote­controller­for­AmpliTube­hosted­by­your­ favorite­ Digital­ Audio­ Workstation­ as­ well­ as­ a­ high­ quality­ ASIO­ or­CoreAudio­ interface­for­your­favorite­DAW.­Even­if­you­don’t­ intend­to­use­StealthPedal­as­an­audio­interface­(because,­for­example,­you’re­using­Pro­Tools®)­you­can­still­use­the­StealthPedal­as­a­flexible­MIDI­controller­for­your­software­application(s),­or­for­controlling­AmpliTube­as­a­plugin­within­your­DAW­(Digital­Audio­Workstation).
