Laboga - Mr Hector Suite

Laboga Mr. Hector Suite

Experience a new standard in boutique, handcrafted Laboga amplifier simulations. The legendary Mr. Hector has been entirely rebuilt using our advanced DriveNET Neural Network Modeling engine, meticulously capturing not only the gain structure, tone stack, and speaker cabinet responses but also the subtle interactions between channel volumes and authentic power-amp dynamics relative to preamp settings.

In addition, we’ve introduced a second amplifier—the Beast—Mr. Hector’s younger, more aggressive sibling, delivering a sharper, edgier tone.

What’s inside

Pedal Section

Custom voiced overdrive - Matched, not just another typical TS808 clone.
OctaFuzz pedal – Bold, gritty fuzz character.
Crunch Booster - engineered to enhance clarity and brightness without introducing harsh or unpleasant frequencies.
6-Band Input EQ – Focus your tone before hitting the amp.

Two Amps – Two Distinct Characters

Mr. Hector

Ultra-high-gain amp with tight lows, aggressive tone, and 100W output. Two channels with shared EQ, Bright and Mid switches for shaping tone from vintage crunch to modern metal. Selectable tube or diode rectifier for either saggy compression or tight response

The Beast

Three-channel 30W amp with four EL84 tubes. Clean and Crunch share controls but offer distinct tones—from sparkling clean to vintage-style breakup. Drive channel delivers modern high-gain tones with Bass, Treble, and a Mid Switch for added versatility. Unique “Character” knob on Clean/Crunch shapes a wide range of tones via a simplified tone stack. Mid Switch revoices the Drive channel EQ for classic or tighter response.

Cabinet Section

6 cabinets modeled.
6 speaker types: V30, Creamback, MT77, Veteran 30, Deamon, CV75.
4 mic options per cab.
Full cab/mic control for tone shaping
SpeakerX

SpeakerX is a real-time DSP engine that simulates the nonlinear behavior of guitar speakers using advanced physical modeling techniques based on Klippel’s nonlinear loudspeaker analysis and a proprietary sandwich architecture. It recreates the authentic "speaker tone" by adding subtle, natural coloration that makes the signal sound more musical and lifelike. Instead of a flat, sterile digital sound, SpeakerX delivers a rich, spatial character – as if you’re hearing your guitar through a mic’d cabinet in a room. The engine also models diffraction effects, further enhancing realism and depth in the tone.

Time FX rack

Chorus

Classic Chorus gives your sound a rich, shimmering depth by subtly doubling and detuning your signal. Perfect for widening guitars, lush synths, or giving vocals that dreamy analog vibe.

Tremolo

Waveform Tremolo shapes your sound by rhythmically modulating the volume with selectable waveforms – from smooth sine to sharp square. Create anything from vintage pulse to experimental stutter with a twist of a knob.

Delay

Ping Pong delay gives you the classic stereo feedback delay moving the repetetive sounds between left and right channel. Add an extra dimension to your sound.

Reverb

Aurora Reverb is the universally sounding reverb effect - from small rooms to endless caves, all with just a few knob turns

FX rack

Introducing Aurora DSP's Guitar Tone Rack, a signal chain designed specifically for guitars, combining top-tier analog modelling and digital processing to deliver a powerful, punchy, and refined guitar sound. This rack is built with the following iconic modules:

10-band EQ

A classic graphic EQ, with 10 bands of +/- 12dB gain, proportional Q and VU meters. Enhanced with an additional drive module for vintage saturation.

Sonic optimizer

An advanced signal processor for adjusting the character of the sound. Useful for improving the low-end definition, adding some high-end clarity, as well as adjusting the overall feel.

Limiting amplifier

Based on a legendary FET compressor/limiter known for its fast attack times and transparent compression widely used in studios for guitars to achieve punchy and smooth dynamics.

Leveling amplifier

Modelled after an optical tube-based compressor with a warm, smooth character. With a slow attack and release, it's a favorite for guitar processing, due to its natural-sounding compression.

Graphic Output EQ

Final stage EQ for full mix control.

Tuner

Built-in tuner capable of handling even the lowest guitar tunings, ensuring perfect pitch accuracy every time.

Studio Sound

The sonic ambiance of a recording studio with Studio Environment Listening option. Available in the standalone app. Headphones recommended.

Midi

Complete MIDI compatibility, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of MIDI devices.

Transpose

Shift your guitar’s pitch with the Transpose knob, moving in semitones up or down by one full octave. Perfect for instant creative tuning.
