Extremist: Create an Extremely Heavy Guitar Sound with Unrivaled Control
Looking for that crushing guitar tone that cuts through the mix and leaves the listener stunned? The Extremist plugin from the talented developer Piotr Pyrzanowski is your new secret ingredient in creating a massive and aggressive guitar sound. Designed specifically for musicians working in rock, metal, grunge and other genres where heaviness and tonal richness are key, this multi-functional VST effect will help you achieve the extremely heavy sound you’ve always dreamed of.
Designed for Power and Productivity
Extremist was conceived with a clear mission: to transform your standard guitar signal into a true sound wall that impresses with its density and aggression. This is not just a distortion effect in the usual sense, but a comprehensive solution that combines several critical tools for detailed shaping of the final guitar tone. The plugin works in full stereo mode, allowing you to apply processing to stereo tracks or create a wide stereo field from a mono signal. Moreover, Extremist is designed with no noticeable latency (zero latency), making it ideal for use during mixing and for monitoring during recording. This performance allows you to focus solely on creativity.
Deep Control Over Every Aspect of Sound
Extremist gives musicians and sound engineers exceptional control over every detail of the processed signal. The wide range of settings allows you to accurately shape the desired tone. Among the most important functions:
- Advanced 15-band stereo equalizer: This is the heart of tonal shaping. Precise adjustment of the frequency response in stereo format with the ability to operate independently or synchronously. Adjusting the Eq Q allows you to change the width of the filter band for filigree control.
- Gain, saturation and mixing section: The Drive knob controls the overdrive level. The Dry and Wet controls balance the original and processed signals. Volume sets the output volume.
- Feedback: Allows you to add controlled feedback for unique textures and sustain.
- Clip: Adjusting the signal clipping level, which affects the distortion character.
- Reverb: Built-in stereophonic reverb effect adds space and depth, adjustable to a medium delay.
- Mid Boost: A specialized filter to accentuate the mid frequencies responsible for the “presence” of the guitar in the mix.
- Pre HPF and Post LPF: High-frequency filter at the input cuts off low frequencies. Low-frequency filter at the output removes excess “sand”.
- Noise Gate and Post Gating: Built-in noise gate eliminates background noise. The Post Gating option allows you to choose whether to apply the gate before or after the effects.
- Amp Curve: Allows you to choose different “gain” characteristics, simulating the types of overload circuits.
- Smoothing: The signal smoothing function helps to reduce sharpness or “digitalness”, making the sound more pleasant.
