About the Library

After over a decade of killer metal virtual guitars, it’s time to introduce the first dedicated metal bass in our Shreddage line: Shreddage 3 Darkwall! This library combines the stunning realism and power of our Shreddage 3.5 engine with a signature metal sound brought to fame by Nolly, Lee Sklar, Jacob Umansky, and others: a monster low end, an aggressive attack, and an impressive versatility in tone thanks to the three individually sampled pickups.

Choose the Drop E tuning if you want that mega-low doom sound, or go with standard tuning for a wide variety of metal and heavy rock sounds. The weight and body of Shreddage 3 Darkwall is primed for prog metal, but it shines in everything from heavy djent to hard core punk to grunge.

Bring the growl, the doom, the malice, and the power of this towering bass into your productions without the expense or the months-long wait time of buying an actual Dingwall. Thoroughly sampled and optimized for a realistic performance, Shreddage 3 Darkwall brings you a low end with seismic power, a percussive attack, and an incredibly versatile tone that will set fire to your prog metal, djent, numetal, and heavy rock tracks.

Over 19,000 pristine 24-bit samples

Includes neck, middle, and bridge pickups recorded separately, each through its own Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp! DI (direct in) so you can use any amp tone. Over 26GB (uncompressed) of meticulously sampled audio.
