Awesome 8-string guitar for rock and metal music! Get crystal clear clear tones, screaming leads with incredible realism. Featuring two different pickups, over 30,000 samples and over 50 tonal snapshots included, the Shreddage 3 Hydra is the most complete Shreddage guitar ever made.
Shreddage 3 Hydra is the culmination of everything we’ve learned at Impact Soundworks over 10 years of making virtual guitars. This is our vision of what an uncompromising, quality 8-string guitar should be. Our internal quality bar was so high that we recorded all the samples three times, striving for perfect characteristics and tone. Now, finally, everything is ready and you can enjoy the perfect rock and metal virtual guitar in your music.
We chose an “Iron Label” RGIF8 tuned to low E for our guitar and fitted it with Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi Signature pickups. These pickups take the Shreddage 3 Hydra to the next level, even when compared to our other instruments. Not only do they have crisp and distinct tones (neck and bridge positions), but their clarity and low noise levels are second to none. Some sustain notes last over 40 seconds!
With exhaustive sampling of all useful articulations, dynamics, RR variations and layers, Hydra gives you all the tools you need to create absolutely incredible guitar tracks. With the right spelling, you can create rhythm parts, chords, and leads that will amaze you with their sound and realism.
Naturally, this is a killer guitar for rock and metal music, especially heavy sub-genres and progressive variations. But as you can hear in our demos, the pure tone capabilities are just as impressive. The clarity and sustain in the pickups make the Hydra a great choice for any gaze music.
