Hi-Gain ToneX Captures – Authentic Metal Power, Digitally Perfected
At Nevo Studios, we’ve taken the essence of modern metal tone and translated it into the digital world with the Hi-Gain ToneX Captures collection. This pack was designed for producers and guitarists who want the raw feel of real amps combined with the precision and flexibility of ToneX technology. Every capture delivers mix-ready aggression, tight low end, and detailed clarity — ideal for studio production, reamping, or live performance.
Real Amps, Real Cabinets, Real Hardware
The collection includes 46 Tone Models captured from 6 high-gain amp heads paired with 5 carefully matched cabinets. Each combination was selected for its unique tonal character, from razor-sharp modern distortion to thick, saturated vintage-inspired crunch. Because of this, every capture blends seamlessly in multi-layered guitar mixes and adds depth, width, and punch to any heavy production.
Captured Through Analog Precision
All ToneX captures were recorded through our full analog chain at Nevo Studios, featuring the Amek/Neve console and ATC reference monitoring. Therefore, every Tone Model retains the harmonic richness, punch, and depth of the original amplifier. The mic setups included the Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD421, and a selection of ribbon and condenser microphones. Each configuration was refined to capture the most musical tone possible, ensuring a lively, three-dimensional sound free from artificial harshness.
In addition, each amp was profiled at multiple gain levels and tone settings to cover a wide range of modern metal styles. From ultra-tight djent tones to saturated death and thrash distortion, this collection delivers a complete set of professional metal sounds ready for any project.
Built for Real-World Performance
All Tone Models were tested across studio monitors, FRFR systems, and live rigs. As a result, the Hi-Gain ToneX Captures sound equally powerful whether you’re recording in a DAW or performing on stage. Each capture has been level-matched and optimized for consistent EQ response and dynamic behavior, so you can switch tones effortlessly without losing clarity or impact.
The Nevo Studios Approach to Digital Tone
In short, the Hi-Gain ToneX Captures pack represents the next step in our mission to merge analog realism with digital precision. Combining real amps, high-end hardware, and the advanced modeling capabilities of ToneX, this collection gives you instant access to professional, mix-ready metal tones that carry the signature Nevo Studios sound — aggressive, clear, and unmistakably authentic.
