Metal Amp Room
Introduction
METAL AMP ROOM IS JUST WHAT IT SAYS IT IS.
It’s an amp room, just like the other Softube plug -
ins Vintage and Bass Amp Room, but it’s designed
for Metal. It consists of three parts, of which the
first part is the amp itself. It was carefully selected
to have a aggressive sound with a smooth high end
and never ending sustain, and special care was taken
to make sure that the palm mute playing style hits
you right in the stomach. We also added a lower
gain (not to confuse with low gain!) preamp to ac-
commodate for a more traditional playing style.
Second, and perhaps the most important of the
building blocks, are the cabinets. You can choose
between two different four by twelve cabinets, and
each cabinet has two mics. A dynamic microphone
for the classic metal sound, and a condenser mic
with a fuller and richer sound. Just playing around
with different cabinets and mic settings is a science
in itself, and we have worked really hard to make
it as easy as possible for you to find the sound you
look for. To make this even easier, we had to design
the third building block – the BALANCING STEREO
PREAMP. This is basically two channel strips with
a volume, a pan and a phase control each, that we
combined into a single channel strip with a MIC
BALANCE control instead of two volumes and a
STEREO WIDTH control instead of two pan knobs.
Just to make the handling easy, without compromis-
ing the sound.
And like our other products, such as Vintage Amp
Room, Metal Amp Room has none of the added
gadgets or weird- sounding presets sometimes found
in simulation software. Focusing on quality and ac-
curacy, it gives you a hard hitting metal sound that
is authentically raw. The goal is not to give you a
pre produced, ultimate guitar sound, but to pro-
vide you with the ultimate tool to create your own.
Because after all, only you know exactly what sound
you want.
