Impact Soundworks has released Shreddage Amp Venom, a new virtual amplifier plugin modeled after the Framus Cobra tube amp. The original hardware is known for its use in metal genres but has become difficult to find and maintain.
Shreddage Amp Venom aims to deliver the sonic characteristics of the original, including its high-gain crunch and clean tones. The plugin features three channels, Clean, Crunch, and Lead, calibrated to match the hardware's response.
Beyond the core amp model, the plugin includes pre and post-amp pedalboards, each with six slots. Users can choose from eight virtual pedals, including a Tube Screamer, an LA-2A style compressor, and a BBD-style delay. A dual cabinet section is also provided, featuring a model of a Friedman 4x12 cabinet, with nine additional cabinet options available.
