Slayer

Reviewed By EnzymeX [all]
December 13th, 2004
Version reviewed: 2.00 on Windows

I love Slayer 2 for it's ability to produce unparalleled searing guitar leads and whammy bar effects. Check out the lead3 and lead4 presets to hear it's amazing feedback capabilities. If you can, try recording these presets over existing rythm material - I was surprized how well they fit in a mix.

I gave this plug high ratings because there is nothing like it for what it does best. Honestly, I do not use it for most "rythm" or "clean electric" Guitar Sounds - for those needs I go to Sonic Synth 1 (or my cheap guitar through Guitar Suite!).

Yes,there better amp sims, FX, etc out there. No doubt. But, all the Slayer components work together to produce a lead sound that can be greater than the sum of it's parts.

Note that it is a CPU hog - you will need a freeze function to really utilize this plug on most systems.

It's not for everyone, but it's definately worth downloading the demo to see if this is what you have been looking for in a lead guitar plug. Note you may have to turn off the "chord" feature on some presets to better listen to the tone of the sound generator.
