Your neighbors are gonna love you!.. NOT to be played quietly!…

Introducing 8 firmly planted 4 legged MONSTERS of savage, this pack caters for the 2 finger saluting men of rock! it is….hard edged, in your face, extreme, nuts, demonize, crazy, ballsy… etc etc, you get the idea!. 8 amps profiled in various micing positions, using the same 4×12 cab..6 different mics were used, and ALL animals were harmed in creating this pack. – Demo Provided by “Quitty”

What you Get…

The main focus of this pack is the Lead channels (the grunt of all things metal) – we didn’t really focus too much on tons of amp parameters, we wanted just great tones!.. so we found the great spots used by metal guitar-players, then used different mics, speakers to influence the sound further. – this added soem depth, so you have some thin sounding metal, and some thick, depending on your style or preference.

  • Various mics used:SM57, PR20, 121, SM7, 421, U67
  • API Mic pre’s were used throughout production
  • Clean/Crunch and full on only, No chan 1, 2 3 etc. kept it simple.
  • 8 Monster amps, each with a different flavour
  • 203 Profiles in great detail
  • No air guitar needed!

What we recommend…

  • EarBuds.. : )
  • Lespaul or Humbucker for the rage gain
  • Try Increasing the “Definition” for a brighter/tighter tone
  • Try decreasing the “Definition” for a darker/vintage/looser tone
  • These were created using reference monitors, so use EQ to taste to adjust to your needs

 

 

The Amps….

Seeking to re-create the sound of: –  ENGL Fireball, ENGL Ironball, ENGL Retrotube, ENGL Powerball, ENGL SE E670, ENGL Ritch Blackmore Sig, ENGL Invader, ENGL Savage

The “how we did it” Bits…..

Before we capture amps, we play-test them first with various guitars in different styles, even put them through various stomps to see if we can gain any advantage in that area. (if so we use it) – With the tests complete, we can determine the best route to take, either to mic it up aggressively, Naturally

or even a laid back approach, what guitar works better, and if we need to use any additional tools to help us get there..

Each Amp set has various “stages” of profiles, from clean+variations, breakup+variations all the way through to max gain. – this gives you total control over the amps voicing characteristics, and lets you “correctly” choose the right amount of gain for your guitar, rather than artificially adding it afterthefact.. – assuming we got it correct, then the rest is pure ear candy!

Genre…

This Pack will suit the following styles: (however there are no rules)

HardRock/Metal/Grunge & anything that requires sacrificing!
