Though excellent for rock and metal music, particularly progressive and heavy subgenres, Hydra’s clean, clear sound is highly versatile and can be used as-is with minimal processing. The guitar recorded in Shreddage 3 Hydra features a ‘fanned fret’ (multiscale) design and two Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi Signature pickups, the combination of which offers incredibly clear, long-sustaining and low-noise tone. “We spent over a year finding the perfect performer and recording chain to achieve the best possible sound. “This has easily been our biggest guitar project ever,” said lead developer Andrew Aversa.
Shreddage 3 Hydra is available now for $149 from Impact Soundworks.ĭrawing on their decade of experience developing the widely-used and highly-acclaimed Shreddage series of virtual guitars and basses, Impact Soundworks spent nearly two years recording, editing, and programming Shreddage 3 Hydra.
