Interesting Amp Sim - Dammit Distortion (Black Album baby!)

[Charles J]

I stumbled upon this VST last night and tested it on some DI's. Well, it doesn't sound half-bad, but it needs some work (most importantly the cab sim section) but I think with the right development it could be fairly decent!



Check it here: http://masonsoft.webhop.net/

It's got a nice djent to it, lol, but I hear a lot of nasty aliasing in the highend unfortunately and the controls are VERY limited.

Just thought it'd be cool for you dudes to check out. I don't think it's nearly as good as Nick Crow's stuff or SoloC, but it is an interesting idea and definitely sounds different from other amp sims I've tried.

Probably not suited for any kind of production just yet, but for those of you who like jamming to the Black Album (..?), it could be of interest.

Discuss!

nice - thanks for the post - always nice to see new amp sims on the market

Holy shit guys, this sim is fucking FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN to play on. Perfect for old school thrash stuff. I may buy this.

EDIT: Correction, I just bought it. $30 is a no brainer.

 

[MetalJonesy]

sounds interesting!

 

[Charles J]

yeah dudes, this thing fucking rules... sooo fun to jam on! i actually like how simplistic the gui is (although it's uglyyy).

glad i could turn some people on to this! i thought it was too fun to NOT pass on..

Thank you very much. I´m loving this shit. Fuck it, I´m buying it. 30 bucks is a good price.

that's exactly what i said to myself after i tried the demo, lol. at first i was like 'this thing is going to be gay'.

suffice to say, i bought it within 5 minutes after trying the demo

Can't Validate in Logic 8.02 - OS 10.5.7 - have to FORCE QUIT every time. Oh well...

Works fine in Reaper.

(And really gives the Black Album sound lol)

It's really better than I expected ... but is it just me or is there a slight phase/flanger effect going on all the time? It's a real pity there no option to use your own impulses.

well im buggered, this really is much better than expected. It just turned me into James hetfield in my room! If I was 16 again and found this, god help me!

Heres a quick test from me, http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1206505/Black.mp3

Badass. I like it more when I eq a bit the 800hz. Clip here.

isn't there a speaker sim OFF option? there is in mine..

Well if there is one in yours there should be one in mine...but I'm too stupid to see it obviously...where exactly is it? This is what I get:

I don't see anything...there's a hidden menu or something?

 

[Matt-Steele]

Sounds pretty good to me, although I haven't downloaded it and tried it, but the vid and the demos you guys have posted sound quite good!

I know that if you run it on Reaper you can get access to some sliders that you can´t see on the default GUI. Maybe there´s this option there.

 

[PhilR]

Didn't really like ANY of the sounds on offer here. Palm muting at lower gain settings sounded plain weird and that high end is just nasty.

 

[animanga]

To me the software sound good ( and yes, sound like the black album) anyway my CPU is crying...

about impulses, i am doing some experiments (tryin to get a in ur face sound)
here my 5 Minutes mix test:
