Metallurgy: Doom

Metallurgy: Doom
For Doom Guitarists

The Metallurgy: Doom amplifier and effects plugin was created specifically for guitarists who want to quickly and easily access doom metal tones—as well as craft new tones of their own. The plugin features amplifier and effects models drawn from the award-winning HX family of products, ensuring outstanding sound quality and dynamic responsiveness. In addition to being used as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin within any DAW, Metallurgy: Doom also functions as a standalone application.

The Metallurgy: Doom plugin features four amplifier types. The MOO))) N is based on* the classic 1970s Sunn Model T. Mandarin Rocker is based on* the Orange Rockerverb 100 MkII amplifier. Mail Order Twin is based on* the Silvertone 1484 amplifier. Doom is an original amplifier created by the Line 6 sound design team.

The four amplifiers may be paired with any one of eight speaker cabinets. Two microphones may be selected from a virtual "mic locker" containing eight microphone types, and these may be combined with a stereo room mic array. Up to two third-party impulse responses (IRs) may be substituted for the factory mics. All of the microphones may be positioned in various ways and a 4-band parametric EQ enables the cabinet tone to be sculpted even further.

Effect types include several differing fuzz pedals that can be layered and combined with the high-headroom amps to produce massive waves of sustain and feedback, a chewy phaser, fat analog delay, ADT (Automatic Double Tracking) for further tone fattening, parametric EQ, spring reverb (Mail Order Twin only), and optical tremolo (Mail Order Twin only) —with four effects positioned pre-amplifier and three positioned post-amplifier in the signal chain. A noise gate and a chromatic tuner are also included.

Thanks to the plugin's photorealistic user interface the amp, cab, and effects rigs appear much as they would in the analog world, making it fun and easy to tweak presets to suit your stylistic needs or assemble new rigs of your own.

The Metallurgy: Doom plugin churns out gloomy tones that emphasize the low-end frequencies ideal for the girthy riffs and gargantuan drones favored by doom guitarists.
