Metallurgy Modern is a guitar amplifier and effects plugin designed for players seeking powerful metal and progressive metal sounds. It offers quick access to intense tones as well as the flexibility to create unique sonic signatures. The plugin integrates amplifier and effects models inspired by the acclaimed HX product line, delivering exceptional sound quality and dynamic response. Metallurgy Modern operates seamlessly as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin within any digital audio workstation, and also functions as a standalone application for user convenience.

Featuring four distinct amplifier models, Metallurgy Modern covers a wide range of modern high-gain sounds. These include emulations based on well-known high-performance amplifiers, alongside an original amplifier designed for aggressive tones. Users can pair these amps with eight different speaker cabinets, each mic’d with options from a collection of eight virtual microphones plus stereo room mics. The plugin allows flexible mic positioning and supports loading of third-party impulse responses, enhancing tonal customization. A comprehensive suite of effects includes compression, overdrive, delay, chorus, reverb, and polyphonic pitch-shifting, arranged around the amplifier stage to shape the sound precisely. Additional tools such as a noise gate and chromatic tuner are integrated to complete the rig.

Metallurgy Modern’s user interface replicates the look and feel of physical gear, making it intuitive for guitarists to tweak presets or build new setups. The plugin emphasizes midrange clarity and tight low-end response, ideal for extended-range and detuned guitars. It is well-suited for modern metal genres and progressive styles requiring saturated, cutting tones. Available individually or as part of a broader collection, Metallurgy Modern offers musicians a reliable and inspiring platform for crafting contemporary metal sounds with professional-level authenticity.
