Friday Free Plug-in - Emissary From Ignite
In this week's Friday Free Plug-in, we are featuring Emissary, a high gain guitar amp sim from Ignite, which is suitable for metal but capable of clean and “in-between” tones.
What Is Emissary?
The Emissary is a digital emulation of a custom dual-channel guitar tube amplifier. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Ryan Huthnance (The Seer / Gaped / Chrome Bison / Emissary Studios) by Ignite Amps, in 2014.
It is a no-compromise custom amp built for the kill. Featuring a very versatile clean channel that ranges from pristine cleans to slightly overdriven tones and a mean lead channel designed for serious bone-crushing distortions, it offers a very wide tonal palette for the modern metal musician.
