Key Features

• 3 Iconic High-Gain Amp Models:

  • Duo Rect: Inspired by the classic Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier—delivering scooped, tight 90s-style American metal and heavy rock chunk.

  • Fireman: Inspired by the Friedman BE-100—offering rich, modern-British high-gain response with singing sustain.
  • VH4: Inspired by the legendary Diezel VH4—providing a thick, articulate, and punchy high-gain tone.

• Built-in Impulse Responses (IRs): Each amp model features a custom-matched cabinet IR (512 samples resolution) so you can go completely amp-less straight into a mixer or audio interface.

• Expandable Tone Customization: Load your own 3rd-party IRs via the MetalCore editing software or edit presets on the fly using the EFX Mobile App.

• Intuitive Tone Shaping: Features full 3-band EQ controls (Bass, Middle, Treble) along with Drive and Level parameters that auto-save per model.

• Modern Connectivity: USB-C port for firmware updates and software integration; True Bypass switching keeps your signal clean when disengaged.
