Summary of Contents for RedSeven Amplification AMP CENTRAL EVO
- Page 1 AMP CENTRAL EVO V1.0 September 2024...
- Page 2 to use AMP CENTRAL Amp Central is a load device who takes the output of your tube based amplifier and transforms this energy by dissipating it into heat. Since NO volume is perceived, you might be tempted to turn your amplifier’s master volume to a very high, almost ear-killer and dangerous level, which is not recommended for various reasons.

Page 3: First Usage
FIRST USAGE We think it’s better to start slow and to understand the workings of the Amp Central before diving in and trying the unit. What you need to know to proceed in the safest way, is to consider the Amp Central as a normal guitar cabinet. - Page 4 HOW TO CONNECT AMP CENTRAL EVO? USING VOIDX APP Your Mac/PC will not recognize A.C. Evo as an external hard drive, like A.C MK1. This time, to fully explore A.C. Evo possibilities you need to download “VoidX-Control” and it’s available for both mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop (Win and MAC OS) from respective app stores.
- Page 5 THE CONCEPT Since few years, digital systems became very popular in guitar amplifier market, replacing real amps in most of “inconvenient” gigs where silent stage is mandatory, or for example, during late night practice sessions. At the same time, guitar players still love to use any given amplifier when possible. Why not to think about an object that can give you the possibility to use a real amplifier, with the exact feeling, but with no volume at all? What me mean, is, simulations/profiles could work in some situations, in term of pure...
- Page 6 *An Impulse Response is in layman's terms an equalization, or a “snapshot” of your favorite mic’ed cabinet, to be applied to the raw sound coming out of your loaded amplifier. Return act as the complete sound (amp + cabinet + mic) as you should hear from your studio monitors, or headphones.

FRONT PANEL (left to right) • SCREEN: Every information will be pictured here. • EDIT encoder: This is your navigation encoder thru A.C. menu. Click it to enter, turn lef/right to scroll. • THRESHOLD encoder: set the detection point for noise gate. Click it to turn it on/off. - Page 10 • INPUT LEDS: leds to show your incoming signal. • LINE OUT LEVEL: the volume control of the line out. • POWER SWITCH: turn A.C. on or off...

BACK PANEL (from left to right) • HALF/FULL POWER: activate A.C. attenuator for full or half power. • LOOP FX: Stereo fx loop placed between the I.R. and the final outputs. Connect your favorite outboard effevts like delays, reverbs, etc. here. •... - Page 12 use a standard mono instrument cable, you just need to plug into jack outs, A.C. will work in unbalanced mode too. • DC IN: 24V negative center and at least with a current output of 300mA.
- Page 13 INPUT SECTION and CALIBRATION (VERY IMPORTANT – READ THIS AT LEAST COUPLE TIMES) The very first thing we recommend to do when you start using Amp Central is to set the proper input level in order to achieve the best possible signal to noise ratio avoiding any clipping.
- Page 14 Even from your DAW’s channel/master volumes. Do not look for output volume on A.C., while you have only control on input volume. REACTIVE LOAD SECTION Amp Central EVO is equipped by our well know 100W RMS / 8 ohm reactive load, derived from version.
- Page 15 “Amp Central”, and all you can need is to click on it. PAY ATTENTION: your Amp Central Evo can be connected to only one device per time. If you were using your Ipad via Bluetooth with VoidX app, and you’re trying to connect it via USB to a PC or linking via BT to another phone, it will be not recognized.

Page 16: Firmware Updates
• Make sure you have close VoidX app in other devices surrounding you. FIRMWARE UPDATES In our website, at Amp Central Evo page, you can find a dedicated download section for firmware updates. A.C. Evo can now benefit from FW for future new features/bug fixing. -
Page 17: Routing Modes
USING AMP CENTRAL EVO PRESET SECTION The biggest news in Amp Central Evo is now it can support two distinct impulse responses (I.R.) simultaneously, arbitrary called LEFT IR and RIGHT IR. Two I.Rs. create a PRESET and you can store up to 16 Presets. - Page 18 After power amp simulation, two standard guitar cabinet I.R.s are applied to complete signal chain (acting as cab + mic combo). Eight P.A. simulations are present in Amp Central Evo and they made after real RedSeven Amplification amplifier models, including some rarities.

Page 19: Noise Gate
Marshall 1968 Super Lead 100W EL34 NOISE GATE A digital noise gate is present inside Amp Central Evo. Threshold control with push to on/off capability is present on front panel for quick adjustment. We added this feature to keep you covered from different environments you could find along your way. -
Page 20: Line Output
Older amps (like vintage Fender or Marshall for example) don’t have one. We took care of this. We decided to place a stereo FX LOOP inside Amp Central Evo to allow you to insert your... - Page 21 Scale is 1 to 100, with maximum is 100 (default level is 50). Amp Central Evo is a substitute for your guitar cabinet and mics and as in real life with real cabinets and microphones you still need microphone preamplifiers or any kind of gain stage after it.
- Page 22 MIDI Amp Central has a MIDI IN and MIDI THRU port, to remotely select any of 16 available presets. Into “MENU”, you can find “MIDI” menu. By entering MIDI menu, you can choose any midi channel from 1 thru 16. Presets, are fixed with Program Change numbers from 1 to 16.
- Page 23 F.A.Q. WHAT IMPEDANCE DO I NEED TO SET MY AMPLIFIER IF I USE A CABINET ALONG WITH A.C.? In this case A.C. Evo internal load will be bypassed. You need to match your cabinet’s impedance with your amp’s impedance. HOW DO I CONNECT MY AMP CENTRAL MKII TO MY PC/MAC TO UPLOAD IR? You need to download “VoidX-Control”...
