Shreddage 3 Argent returns to the metal roots of the Shreddage series , but more intensely than ever before: the crushing Schecter Damien Platinum 9-string, one of the guitars used by composer Mick Gordon in the 2016 Doom soundtrack . So much vivid detail that it took over 200 hours to sample it all, and combined with the easy-to-use and powerful Shreddage engine, the library has exceptional realism. Brutal, gritty, bullet-like, Shreddage 3 Argent delivers relentless sonic aggression in djent, technical, progressive, heavy and death metal.
About the Library
For years, you’ve asked us to deliver something even lower and heavier than our best-selling Shreddage 3 Hydra. We’ve long been fans of the intensely brutal, world-smashing Doom soundtracks, especially the intense genre of metal created by Mick Gordon for Doom 2016. When we decided it was time to bring Shreddage back to its metal roots, we took inspiration from those very soundtracks to create Shreddage 3 Argent.
There’s a particular aggressive single-string rhythm sound distinctive to “Argent metal” that we wanted to capture, which inspired our choice of instrument (a Schecter Damien Platinum), the EMG 808 pickups we selected, and how we approached the sampling process. We set out to make the ultimate chugging rhythm guitar, and we succeeded!
But Shreddage 3 Argent is so much more. It’s an extremely comprehensive guitar that is absolutely outstanding for low rhythms and chugs, and it also excels at leads. Throw it at even the most extreme and aggressive parts and it will handle them with aplomb.
Shreddage 3 Argent stands ready to deliver cold-blooded intensity as both a chugging and lead guitar in mockups. It also holds its own with live guitars: use it to easily double track or lay down rhythm parts. If you’re a guitarist yourself, we’d like to think it’s a much more affordable alternative to investing in (and mastering!) a specialty 9-string guitar, without sacrificing realism or control.
With a punishing low end and ability to handle fierce tempos, Shreddage 3 Argent serves up unrelenting badassery for your djent, prog metal and other metal tracks.
Over 31,000 pristine 24-bit samples
Recorded through two separate pickup positions (neck and bridge) DI, so you can make your own tone.
9-string guitar tuned to low C#
Ultra-low tuning gives this beast the ideal sound for djent, argent metal, and other modern progressive genres. But its enormous range and virtuosic playing ability allow it to go far beyond.
All crucial lead and rhythm articulations
Sustains, powerchords, palm mutes, staccatos, natural & artificial harmonics, pinch harmonics, tapping, tremolo, slides, FX, hammer-on, pull-off, rakes, and chokes.
