Gong Amp brings a unique experimental amplifier from the early days of electronic music into the modern digital realm. Inspired by Maurice Martenot's 1932 invention, this plugin captures the distinctive sound of the 'Métallique' diffuser, which used a gong instead of traditional speaker cones to create rich resonances and vibrant overtones. This innovative approach originally enhanced the audibility of the proto-synthesizer Ondes and continues to fascinate listeners with its captivating tonal character.

The design of Gong Amp draws from the 2011 Resonator Metallik by Eowave, a contemporary reinterpretation of Martenot's concept. This plugin emerged through collaboration with Berlin composer Hainbach, known for his creative explorations with rare sound sources. Gong Amp makes this exceptional sonic signature accessible to a wider audience, allowing musicians and producers to integrate the amplifier's distinctive textures into their projects with ease and flexibility.

Employing a sophisticated blend of convolution processing, physical modeling, and feedback techniques, Gong Amp faithfully recreates the responsiveness of the original amplifier while expanding its creative potential. The result is a powerful tool that not only honors historical sound design but also offers new dimensions in shaping resonant and complex tones. This plugin stands out as an inspiring instrument for artists seeking unique amplifier textures and experimental soundscapes.
