Universal Audio Anti 1992 High Gain Amp: The New Standard in Metal

Capturing a convincing high-gain guitar sound is one of the biggest challenges in the studio. Often digital models sound too “thin” or lack the physical pressure of a real stack. The Universal Audio Anti 1992 High Gain Amp solves this problem once and for all. By modeling the exact circuitry of the legendary 5150-style amplifier down to the component, this pedal provides the harmonic complexity and massive low end that you would normally only get from a full tube top. Whether you’re looking for the “brown sound” or the extreme saturation of modern djent and deathcore, this pedal delivers it with authority.
