Version 1.1 update:
By popular demand we have added the possibility to bypass either the
amp sim or the cabinet simulation. The most straight-forward use of
this feature is to use the amp simulation together with your
favorite real-life guitar cabinet, or to use the cabinet
simulations together with the line-out signal from your
amplifier.
(And yes, we added some presets as well...)
You'll find the bypass options if you open the "About"-box by
clicking on the Metal Amp Room logo!
Introduction
Metal Amp Room was designed to bring you the most brutal, evil and
aggressive sound that is possible to squeeze out of your DAW. It was
co-developed with Patrik Jensen (The Haunted) and tailored to his
needs. The continuous mic placement from Vintage Amp Room is
back, but this time with twin mics with adjustable stereo panning. Get
a huge stereo sound with complex adjustable phasing effects, a plain
old one-mic-right-against-the-cone, or anything in between. The
cabinets were measured in the In Flames studio (previously known as
Studio Fredman) by Tue Madsen and Patrik Jensen.
Focusing on usability and sound quality, this is a plug-in that is proud
not to include a gazillion amps, effects racks, patch cords, or a blow-
dryer. Just two channels, two cabinets, two mics per cabinet, and a
wickedly fast noise gate for palm mute galore. Every setting is a
setting that will sound good, so it's almost impossible to get a useless
sound. Metal Amp Room is a real workhorse, a plug-in that will handle
all your metal needs without ever getting in your way.

to do a lot more setups for them."

Program-Dependent
One-Knob Gate
The gate in Metal Amp Room will automatically analyze your
playing. Fast playing will give you an extremely fast gate, while slow
playing will yield a slower closing gate. Regardless of playing style,
the gate will always react instantaneously and open up faster than any
hardware gate, without adding any latency to the signal.

Double mics on
double cabs
Both cabinets have two mics each, one dynamic and one condenser. Fully
flexible mic positioning, link mic functionality and realistic room
resonance modeling will give you just the result you need, and much more.

Intuitive Stereo Control
The Balancing Stereo Preamp will always keep your guitar signal
focused, while giving you easy access to the features you want to
use. While keeping the guitar signal centered, you can easily monitor
each mic, change the stereo width of the signal, and dial in the sound
that you want.
