Kuassa is a software development company specializing in digital guitar amplification and audio processing. We’re deeply passionate about music, and our goal is to provide great tools to aid the musician’s creative process. As musicians ourselves, we believe that raw tonal quality trumps all, including an overabundance of features that may or may not be useful and distract you from your primary objective: creating great music.

The name “Kuassa” is derived from the Indonesian word “kuasa”, which can be taken to mean power, might, master, or authority. The name reflects our belief that a thorough understanding of both the creative process and critical thought, as well as mastery of a diverse range of fields is essential to creating great musical tools, and by extension, great music.

Our Values

1. We prefer quality over quantity. In most cases, plugging into 100 amps, 80 FXs, and 90 cabinets won’t guarantee a great guitar track.

2. We’ve focused all of our attention where we think it matters most; tone.

3. We try to make everything as intuitive and streamlined as possible. We want you to be able to just forget the user manual (we’ve provided one though) and get straight to the playing.

4. Our (relatively) low price tag isn’t an indication of inferior quality (and vice versa). We’re just trying to be fair with our pricing.

5. Using guitar amp software means you are being eco-friendly. Less power consumption, less waste, and therefore reduced carbon footprint when compared to its hardware counterpart.
