Pettinhouse has announced the HumbuckerGuitar, a new guitar sample library for Kontakt.

HumbuckerGuitar is a guitar sample library direct-recorded for amp simulators dedicated to rock, metal, blues and any genre where a high voltage signal for powerful distortion is required.

HumbuckerGuitar is designed to be very easy to use. You don't need to remember hundreds of key switches, functions or patches. You load it and it's ready to use.

Live and Studio mode: The library has two mode which allows you to simulate the pick style and the palm muted style just moving up and down the mod wheel without moving your left hand from the control.

Feature highlights:

• Direct recorded for amp simulators.
• 24-bit 96 Khz.
• Dedicated key switches.
• 4 velocity layers.
• Round-robin for alternate picking.
• 2 GB of samples.
• 1,500 samples.
• Full sustain.
• Natural decay.

Priced at $129, HumbuckerGuitar for Kontakt will be released in mid-November for download or on DVD.
