Will it chug? Share your heaviest sounding boards here

I’ve been testing and building a CHUGBOARD.

I assumed that the AIDA-X models and IR’s used in snapshots will be included when a user downloads this bord, that is correct?

I’m the rhythm guitarist/singer for a Thrash/heavy Metal band and this board is my “palette” to find a good match with our lead guitarist’s sound.

The guitar used for testing and creating snapshots was an Explorer copy with bridge pickup selected, given that the neck also sounded good.

  • It contains a BETA plugin: the Portal: It IS necessary to keep the processor load from maxing out.
  • The board also several post its with explanations
  • There are 4 high gain AIDA-X models I captured myself, all in the “5150 family” or related
  • I think I picked out about 10 to 12 different cabs and matched them with amp models
  • You can blend in a bass amp for extra low end oomph
  • There is a dry/delay switch. The dry path has a short reverb in it but is default off.
  • You can include an EQ or bypass it with another switch
  • There is a recorder to record your jams
  • gain control after the AIDA-X and in the end to manage levels
  • easiest test is done via the WEB-UI although some basic controls are assigned to hardware buttons…but I havent assigned the models/cabs to a rotary yet (sorry :/)

EDIT:
I used these self-made AIDA-X models:
Point Fifty | High gain amp in the Peavey/EVH 5150 style

Reaper | High Gain amp

Diplomacy | High gain amp in the style of the Ignite Emmisary

Fireball amplifier | in the style of LE456 and Engl Powerball

For the cabinets, I picked out some of the variations for each of these 7 Cab’s here: (Devil’s Lab) Devil's Lab - FREE PACK
