Metallurgy: Modern

The Metallurgy Modern amplifier and effects plugin was created specifically for guitarists who want to quickly and easily access modern metal and progressive metal tones—as well as craft original 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: Modern also functions as a standalone application.

The Metallurgy: Modern plugin features four amplifier types. The Vitriol is based on* the Peavey Invective amplifier and includes Crunch and Lead voicings. The Revv Generator is based on* the Revv Generator 120 MKIII amplifier and includes both the Purple and Red channels. The Badonk offers an entirely original take on modern high-gain tone. The Archetype is based on* the PRS Archon amplifier and provides both a high-headroom clean channel and a modern-voiced lead channel.

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 compression, overdrive, delay, chorus, reverb, and polyphonic pitch-shifting—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: Modern plugin focuses on the searing, saturated tones of modern metal and progressive metal, with the midrange emphasis and tight low end favored by extended-range and detuned guitarists.
