Orange Tree Samples Evolution Baritone Electric v1.2.5 KONTAKT screenshot
KONTAKT - 4,83 GB
The sound of a baritone guitar isn’t something you can get by simply tuning a standard guitar down a perfect fourth. The lower tension on the strings ends up sounding thin and lacking in sustain, not to mention introducing problematic tuning drift where notes start sharp and go flat as they decay. Baritone guitars solve this with a longer scale length, which not only addresses the tuning issue but also provides a heartier sustain and fuller tone.

Bradley Hall's Guitar School "Walk" (Pantera) Solo Transcription and Lesson/Analysis TUTORiAL WAV PDF GP-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 08 February 2025 | 802 MB
It's been a while since we've studied some Pantera, so I thought it was about time we got around to learning this incredibly iconic Dimebag masterpiece!

Unlike many of the other solos we've looked in so far, the difficulty with "Walk" lies not in its technicality, but in its feel and rhythmic phrasing. It's not mega difficult to get the notes of this solo down, but to get the the correct feel and sound right is a real challenge that implore everyone to try.

Klanghelm TENS JR. (Studio Spring Reverb) v1.0.6 x64 VST VST3 AU AAX WiN MAC [FREE] screenshot
29/11/2023 | x64 VST VST3 AU AAX WiN MAC | 26 MB
TENS jr. is the little brother of the studio spring reverb TENS.
It features TENS model 5 - tank A. The properties of the reverb have been extended compared to the unit from the late 70s/early 80s, it's been modeled after. So a single tank is stereo now and the range of decay times has been extended to 0.5 to 20 seconds.
The reverb's character can be altered drastically with the associated horizontal fader.
In contrast to classic spring reverbs found in guitar amps, organs or some synths, TENS jr. offers very high reverb density, fast build-up, and very low "boing" artifacts, making it sound almost plate-like.

Variety Of Sound ThrillseekerXTC mkIII v3.0 x64 x86 VST VST3 WiN [FREE] screenshot
27/11/2023 | x64 x86 VST VST3 WiN | 29 MB
ThrillseekerXTC is a contemporary exciter build around a parallel analog equalizer design. It takes our hearing sensitivity into account especially regarding the perception of audio transients, masking effects and loudness. ThrillseekerXTC offers frequency boosting on three individual parallel bands with pre-selected frequency ranges for the low, mid and high frequency spectrum. The mid band also performs compression by an opto-electrical circuit. A dedicated output stage adds further idiosyncrasies typically found in transformer coupled tube stages.

27/11/2023 | x64 x86 VST VST3 WiN | 26 MB
TesslaSE mkII is a transformer saturation simulator.

It is not a distortion box but rather focuses on bringing all those subtle saturation and widening (side-) effects from the analog right into the digital domain. It sligthly colors the sound, polishes transients and creates depth and dimension in the stereo field. All the analog goodness in subtle doses. It's a mixing effect intended to be used here and there where the mix demands it. It offers a low CPU profile and (almost) zero latency.
