Aero 2
AERO 2 is a complete amplification environment that brings pedals, amplifiers, cabinets, EQ, and effects into a single plugin, allowing you to build and shape tone inside a coherent production workflow. Featuring 251 emulations, including 11 newly captured models, it combines a wide palette of real hardware-inspired tones inside one integrated signal chain. Built on NOVA Instrument, a dedicated evolution of our NOVA architecture for instrument amplification, AERO 2 allows saturation, dynamics, and harmonic interaction to evolve naturally under gain. Available in VST3, AAX, and AU formats for macOS and Windows.
Shape Your Amplification

AERO 2 was designed around a simple idea: amplification should behave like a complete signal chain, not like a collection of isolated processors.


From stomp interaction and amplifier response to cabinet behavior and spatial processing, every stage contributes to how the tone evolves under gain. The result is an environment built not only for guitar tones, but for creating distinctive amplification textures across modern production, reamping, and sound design workflows.

If you already own AERO, your upgrade to AERO 2 is completely free.


And if you’re already part of the NOVA family or own our synthesizers, dedicated crossgrade options are available through this link here.

Building New Signal Chains

The new models introduced in AERO 2 were not selected as isolated additions to the library, but as new building blocks designed to expand the interaction across the entire signal chain.


The four new amplifiers, four stomp models, and three cabinet captures introduce different amplification behaviors - from dynamic clean response and British-style crunch, to boutique lead saturation, fuzz textures, and modern high-gain applications.


Combined with the existing AERO library, these new captures were designed to open a wider range of signal-chain combinations, allowing producers, guitarists, and sound designers to move beyond traditional amp simulation workflows and shape more distinctive tonal identities inside the box.

NOVA Instrument

At the core of AERO 2, there’s NOVA Instrument, a dedicated evolution of our NOVA architecture designed for instrument amplification.


By rethinking how neural processing and Volterra interact across the signal chain, NOVA Instrument allows sound to evolve progressively through different amplification stages - more like a real amplification system under gain.


At the same time, the entire architecture remains highly optimized, delivering low CPU usage even across more complex chains and production workflows.
