The Nembrini Audio EN Hardball Guitar Amplifier plugin delivers a powerful metal amp experience inspired by the legendary ENGL Powerball II. It offers a broad tonal range from crystal-clear clean sounds to aggressive, razor-sharp distortion suited for modern metal styles. Its four distinct channels are carefully designed to provide smooth transitions across all distortion levels, ensuring each gain setting delivers precise attack and clarity, making it ideal for guitars with drop tunings.

This plugin includes six selectable guitar cabinets and features four microphone emulations with adjustable on/off-axis positions, continuous positioning, and distance controls. A comprehensive mixer section allows detailed blending of microphone signals with pan, solo, mute, and fader options, providing full control over the tonal ambiance and spatial characteristics of your guitar sound.

Additional features include an impulse response loader capable of handling up to three third-party impulses, which can be mixed using volume, pan, phase, solo, and mute controls. The built-in filter section offers options to tighten low frequencies, reduce rumble, or soften harsh highs, enhancing tonal sculpting for extended range guitars. A noise gate is also included with adjustable threshold, reduction range, and gate speed, helping to maintain clarity during high-gain performances.
