This Heavy Earth Suite (Early Access)

This Heavy Earth Suite

This Heavy Earth Suite is a complete high-gain guitar production environment developed by Aurora DSP in collaboration with This Heavy Earth Effects. Built around boutique hardware circuits and designed specifically for modern heavy music, the suite combines amp simulation, pedal effects, cabinet processing, modulation, delay, reverb, and utility tools in a single plugin.

Based on the Fleshrot amplifier and a growing collection of This Heavy Earth pedals, the suite delivers an end-to-end signal chain for aggressive guitar and bass tones, eliminating the need for complex pedalboard setups while providing extensive tone-shaping flexibility.

Key Features

• Fleshrot high-gain amplifier simulation.
• Integrated cabinet section with two distinct voicings.
• GRIM3 overdrive pedal.
• Spectral Gate noise gate.
• Additional This Heavy Earth pedal models planned for future updates.
• SpeakerX nonlinear speaker simulation technology.
• Graphic output EQ for final tone shaping.
• Built-in chorus, tremolo, delay and reverb effects.
• Integrated tuner, recorder and metronome.
• Transpose control for instant down-tuning.
• Studio Environment monitoring option.
• Preset management system.
• GateMate noise gate technology.
• Full MIDI compatibility.

Built for Modern Heavy Guitar Production

At the core of the suite is the Fleshrot amplifier, a high-gain design created for aggressive rhythm tones, articulate leads, and modern metal production. Combined with the included cabinet section and output EQ, users can quickly move from tight, focused tones to massive doom-inspired textures.

Pedals Inspired by This Heavy Earth Effects

The suite includes software versions of boutique pedals from This Heavy Earth Effects. The included GRIM3 overdrive is designed to tighten low frequencies and push the front end of an amplifier, while Spectral Gate provides transparent noise reduction. Future updates are planned to expand the pedal collection with additional distortion, boost, delay and reverb effects.

SpeakerX Technology

SpeakerX is Aurora DSP's proprietary speaker modeling engine designed to recreate the nonlinear behavior of real guitar speakers. By simulating speaker coloration, dynamics and diffraction effects, SpeakerX adds depth, realism and a more natural cabinet response compared to traditional static processing.

Integrated Effects and Utilities

Beyond amp and pedal processing, This Heavy Earth Suite includes a complete post-effects rack with chorus, tremolo, delay and reverb. Utility tools such as a tuner, recorder, metronome, transpose control and MIDI support make it suitable for both studio production and practice workflows.

Formats

Available in VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone formats for Windows and macOS.
