Preampus Distortus: The Sound of Metal in Your DAW
Greetings, fans of heavy music and uncompromising metal sound! If you’re looking for a guitar preamp that can deliver record levels of gain and provide an aggressive, punchy tone for your riffs and solos, then Preampus Distortus from AcmeBarGig is exactly what you need. Created specifically for metalheads, this hybrid plugin combines the best of the tube and transistor amplification worlds, giving you a palette of sounds from dense, “fat” rhythms to scorching, piercing solos.
Hybrid Circuit: Two Sides of Aggression
One of the key features of Preampus Distortus is its unique hybrid architecture. The developers at AcmeBarGig have combined classic tube saturation and warmth with the linearity and fast attack of transistor circuits. This combination allows you to get not just a lot of gain, but a multifaceted, complex tone that retains readability even at the highest levels of distortion. You get the rich tube sustain for solos and the instant, dense “wall” of transistor sound for rhythms. This gives you unparalleled flexibility in shaping your signature sound, allowing you to perfectly fit your guitars into the mix.
Extreme High-Gain: When You Can’t Have Too Much Gain
If you play metal, you know that gain is not just a parameter, it’s a philosophy. Preampus Distortus was designed with this truth in mind. It has a record amount of gain on board, ready to explode with powerful, “chopping” rhythms that will make the listener feel every pick stroke. But it is no less impressive on solo parts. Thanks to its huge distortion reserve and excellent sustain, your lead parts will sing, scream, and cut through the mix with incredible power and expressiveness. This is a tool for those who are not afraid to experiment with the limits of aggression and are looking for the most brutal tone.
Powerful Tonestack: Complete Control of Your Sound
Even the most aggressive preamp needs a flexible tool to correct and shape the tone. Preampus Distortus is equipped with a powerful tonestack that gives you complete control over the frequency response of your guitar signal. The low, mid, and high frequency controls are implemented in such a way as to have the most effective impact on the end result, allowing you to “sculpt” the sound that perfectly meets your needs – from a dense, bass-heavy riff to a bright, ringing solo. You can easily adapt the tone to different guitars, pickups, and playing styles, finding a unique place for your instrument in the overall sound of the track.
