Gestalt has been renamed to Head Case
Gestalt is a multi-amp guitar software that contains 8-10 heads, 8-10 Stomps, 8-10 FX racks, Pickup Replacer and cabinets. Basically everything you need to get a great guitar sound. It is primarily for use as a live rig, but will also come in the form of a VST effect. We have held nothing back from Head case in regards to sound quality, everything is completely processed, unlike other multi-amp units that might not process sound fully, Head Case does not employ any skips or hops of samples. This comes at a price however, it is higher on CPU usage than some of the others. But it is meant to be used in an environment where it is the only software running at the time. Like in a live situation. All components of Head case will also be available as separate VST plugin. This way you can use the separated VST plugins to record your tracks, then use Head case to play them live, guaranteeing that from your amp at least, you'll have the identical recorded sound.
Head case will come in at least 2 versions, One for Metal and one for Classic amp sounds. The first release of Head case will likely be the Classic Head Case. Each of the heads in this series called the Preampus Classic Hybrid Series, are made up of components of classic amps all the way back to the very start of Electric guitar. So what we did was came up with a list of great amps and then found out what made them great. We then took those components and put them together into their own amp. The result was really quite astounding, everything from heavy screaming sounds to classic beautiful tone. A little more research on our part yielded even more understanding on how the great guitarists of yesteryear obtained their sound. We found a little know device called A Dallas Range Master. This device is virtually responsible for defining what we know as the classic rock sound. Almost everyone guitarist of the period used one. So, we built one and made it standard in every classic Hybrid head.
Here is what you can expect to see from the Head Case main screen
and these are some of the heads
Each one of these heads also has the built in feature to be able to email Ken McLaren directly for support. Simply click on the signature and write to him. You can optionally go to the AcmeBarGig website as well just by clicking on the AcmeBarGig Logo.
The Preampus Classic Hybrid line is also going to be used in a second MAJOR products as well. Its called Franken Amp. You are able to select the components that make up an amp and then save that amp as its own VST. We're pleased to announce that we have a working proto-type of the Franken Amp. As we build more components, we add them to Franken Amp.
