Tone first. Controls that make sense.
Citadel takes inspiration from the character and response of classic high-gain valve amps. The aim is an amp platform that feels intuitive and musical, with a clear route from opening the software to shaping a sound.
That is the development direction, rather than a claim about finished performance. Features and compatibility will be described as confirmed only when their details are ready to publish.
Who Citadel is being built for
Citadel is intended for guitarists who want to practise, record or explore their tone without unnecessary complexity.
The goal is a straightforward starting point for playing, with room for deeper tone shaping when the player wants it. The planned editions reflect that range of uses.
