Ignite Amps is an audio technology and custom amplifier company founded in 2006 by two musicians seeking alternatives to conventional, pre-packaged amplification. Guided by a focus on tone and practical engineering, the company develops digital audio software and builds custom physical amplifiers. Its software uses in-house analog modeling to recreate tube and solid-state circuits, with plug-ins designed for use in modern digital audio workstations for playing, recording, and mixing.

The product range includes virtual guitar amplifiers, distortion preamps and stomp-boxes, and cabinet simulators that use impulse responses. Examples include Emissary, a dual-channel guitar amp emulation; ProF. E.

T., a high-gain distortion preamp; and Libra and NadIR, tools for loading, blending, and shaping cabinet impulse responses. Ignite Amps also offers custom amplifier builds, using software simulations to help customers evaluate and refine a design before construction begins. Its products support guitarists and bassists in live playing, practice, tracking, and mixing, with features such as tone-shaping controls and compatibility with common plug-in formats
