Audio Assault Emperor v1.0 WiN OSX | 268 Mb
Emperor is part of our amplifier series, each of which brings a full guitar rig into one easy to use plugin! Emperor is inspired by a proprietary blend of modern metal legends, with a brightness and chunk that can cut through the heaviest mixes.
Combined with a flexible pedal board and effects loop, as well as our Virtual Cabinet with optional IR loader, Emperor makes it easy to craft the perfect tone quickly!
Layout
Emperor uses an intuitive layout that mimics the familiar setup of most guitar rigs, making it a breeze to use at all skill levels! The top panel features a noise gate to reduce noise problems, as well as the Stomp, Amp, and Cab sections, followed by a linear output control.
Amp Section
The heart and soul of Emperor is a two channel high gain monster! Emperor defaults to Channel 1, which features parameters for Gain, Bass, Mid, and Treble. Channel 2 features parameters for Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Presence. Both channels clean up quite well at low gain settings, but neither will go fully clean. This allows for a versatile palate of tones, from crunchy rhythm to djent. If you want lush clean tones, Emperor isn’t for you.
Stomp Section
The Stomp section features 5 pedal slots, allowing you to choose between any combination of Emperor’s 10 included guitar pedals. Optional FX Loop allows you to place any pedal in the effects loop of Emperor’s amp head, allowing the pedal to process the output signal of Emperor instead of the input signal.
Cab Section
The Cab section utilizes our virtual cab technology to deliver the feel and microdynamic movements of a real speaker in a real room! The virtual cabinet section features a virtual microphone that you can move to find the sweet spot and perfect your tone, and allows you to choose from 4 microphone and cabinet models! The included HP and LP filters help shape the output to fit perfectly in your mix. Use the Distance control to adjust the proximity of the microphone to the cabinet. The Cabinet menu also allows you to access Emperor’s built in IR loader, allowing you to use your own IR collection within Emperor!
