REQ: Toneforge Disruptor
The Sound
JST embarked on a mission to design a next gen virtual guitar rig that boasts a unique set of features unparalleled by any other amp sims currently available on the market. But this is so much more than an amp sim.
Toneforge Disruptor was born from our collaboration with Dino and gave way to three incredible amp models, an all-new cab room with virtual microphone positioning, and a completely customizable drag-and-drop pedalboard. The various amps and tones found in Disruptor are built using a combination of white box, black box, and neural network modeling methods to achieve accurate recreations of various tones from Dino’s career.
That being said, the true power of Toneforge Disruptor comes from the flexibility found around the traditional signal chain. Keep reading for some of the biggest highlights found in the new plugin and how you can get started with them.
Hybrid Amp Modeling
Toneforge Disruptor offers a best-in-class hybrid amp selection with 3 channels to choose from. The channels included in this Toneforge model range from analog-modeled high-gain tube amps to prototypical modes built on custom DSP for ultra-saturated, brutal tone.
Martyr - A very versatile clean amp that can go from squeaky clean to absolutely pushed and crunchy
Replica - An emulation of Dino’s very own infamous modded JCM 800
Protomech - A high gain amp that features 5 different neural network tone-mached high gain tones from various points in Dino’s career (based on songs, gear, live tone, etc.)
These virtual amps were created with a variety of circuit modeling (white box), and Neural Network tone match modeling techniques (black box). These 3 amps allow you to construct pretty much any electric guitar tone imaginable, right down to pushing the output tubes of a real amp!
