Parameter-aware modeling

AmpNet-powered high-gain Parametric NAM drive

Heavier Metal

Heavier Metal is a high-gain distortion plugin based on one of the most aggressive pedals of the 1990s. Built using Artera DSP’s AmpNet-powered Parametric NAM engine, it delivers not just the sound, but the behavior of the original circuit. Every knob. Every nuance. This is not a snapshot.

Available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac through the App Store, with Apple-native plugin workflows where supported.
