What are some numbers that are closely related to heavy music? Other than the number of the beast, it’s probably this sequence of numbers: 51 and 50. Taking its name from the signature of the legendary guitarist, an inventor who has inspired the 5XXX signature guitar amplifier delivers a very specific kind of guitar tone, dubbed as the “brown sound.” This amp has become a staple of metal sound, featured on albums by artists like Machine Head, Opeth, Testament, Trivium, Gojira, and countless others.
Powered by Kuassa’s 3rd generation tube engine, the Amplifikation VVV brings the infamous brown sound directly into your DAW. With meticulous recreations and tweaks of all three major versions of the 5XXX amps, this plugin is perfect for achieving crushing tones that blast like nothing else.
