PreSonus has released the Ampire High Density Pack, the first add-on for the PreSonus Ampire amp modelling and effects plug-in.
The new add-on includes a carefully curated collection of three State Space Modeled amplifiers and six stompbox effects intended for guitarists looking for high-gain sounds and exotic effects. Also included are three new impulse-response-based cabinet models chosen to complement each amplifier.
State Space Modeling is a mathematical method of transferring each component of an analogue circuit into the digital domain, while maintaining the sonic characteristics of the original hardware.
The new amplifier models include: the Metal Machine +, a high-gain British tube amp with 120W of power across two channels; Painapple #4, an all-tube British amp featuring a three-band EQ and four stages of high gain; and the Gazoline EMC2, a versatile German amp with two channels and a three-way mode switch.
The six new State Space Modeled pedal effects are compatible with both Ampire and Pedalboard plug-ins, and include Blue EQ, a versatile 10-band graphic EQ; Wildrive, a screaming overdrive to create heavy, crunchy tones and harmonics; Dual Comp, a British rarity with a cult following among bassists around the globe; Space Reverb, a boutique classic with a shimmer that suits guitarists and ambient synth fans alike; Pitch Shifter, a Canadian favourite most popular for its dramatic ‘dive bomb’ effect; and Demolition Drive overdrive for low-range players.
Ampire High Density Pack is compatible with the latest generation Ampire plug-in included in Studio One 5.1.1 or later, as well as the VST3/AU/AAX edition. PreSonus Sphere members receive Ampire High Density Pack as part of their membership. In addition to this new Add-on, PreSonus Sphere members also get access to exclusive presets and FX chains from Steve Stine, Sparkles* (Area 11), and Paddy (Nasty!) through PreSonus Sphere’s exclusive Featured Artist portal – with more being added.
The Ampire High Density Pack is available at a street price of US$39.95 from the PreSonus Shop.
