Details

The instrument includes over 12,000 samples, providing a comprehensive palette for performance. Articulations encompass short and long notes, harmonics, tremolos, and various effects, allowing for fluid and dynamic playing. The recordings were made using a Brunetti XL II amp paired with a Marshall cabinet, ensuring a genuine tube sound that enhances the instrument's character.

Mixing options range from close-mic'd dry signals to more ambient settings with added effects, facilitating quick adjustments to fit different scoring contexts.

This makes it a strong choice for composers looking to integrate electric guitar sounds into their projects.
