Strezov Sampling has released Distort 2 for Kontakt 5, an electric guitar sample library, recorded and played by engineer Plamen Penchev and intended for film and trailer composers on a tight deadline.
The library is designed to be straight-forward, so that a user can play riffs with both of their hands and achieve realistic results within only few minutes. There are two "zones" - one with palm mutes, the other one with sustains.
Featuring three different mic positions are included, as well as separated clean samples. Distort 2 is in every way superior to its predecessor Distort 1:
- Doubletracked guitar (L or R), recorded separately with three mic positions (dynamic mic, ribbon mic and hall), up and down picking.
- Close mics - Peluso R14 (ribbon), Shure SM58 (dynamic).
- Hall mics Stereo pair Gefell SMS2000.
- Two round robin on sustains, four round robins on mutes.
- Open chords (Power chords), open single tones, mute chords, mute single tones.
- Completely clean samples without processing included.
- Amp - Marshall JCM2000.
- Cabinet - Marshall 1960 (Vintage30 speakers).
- Guitar - Gibson Flying V.
- includes Distort 1 (1958 Korina Flying V Epiphone Guitar, amped through a Mesa Boogie amplifier).
