Product Overview
Overview
Sonic Drive Studio Heavy Legends Vol 2 is a professional collection of high-gain tone models designed for the IK Multimedia TONEX ecosystem. Curated by guitarist and YouTube personality Jon Symons of Sonic Drive Studio, this expansion focuses on the raw power and versatility of legendary high-gain tube heads. Each model is a high-quality direct capture, ensuring that the nuance, saturation, and response of the original hardware are preserved for your digital workstation.
What Stands Out
Key Details
- Curated Content: 20 professional tone models captured by Jon Symons.
- High-Gain Focus: Specifically tailored for heavy genres, featuring captures of all channels and various modes for maximum flexibility.
- Featured Amplifiers: Includes captures based on the Peavey 6505 (the “metal monster”), the Friedman JJ JR (a modded British head with US influence), and the Orange Rockerverb 50 (a citrusy British head ideal for clean-ish tones or as a pedal platform).
- Optimized Sound: Every tone model is pre-dialed to sound instantly production-ready upon loading.
Best For
Use Cases
- Heavy Metal Production: Ideal for tracking aggressive rhythm guitars and searing leads using the Peavey and Friedman captures.
- Pedal Platform Foundations: Utilize the Orange Rockerverb models to create a responsive, “clean-ish” base for your favorite overdrive and distortion pedals.
- Professional Mixing & Mastering: Perfect for producers who need repeatable, high-fidelity tube amp sounds without the need for a physical re-amping setup.
- Sound Design: Useful for creating thick, saturated textures in cinematic or industrial soundscapes.
