audioschmaudio Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I can't find any information about it on the internet. And isn't it "Hydro"? Looks like Hydro on the screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Ng Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I find their previous guitars to be quite synthetic. If you are into that kind of sound maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have yet to release anything I thought was even worth the $20 price point if looking for something that sounds like the real thing at least with me attempting to play it.

The Wedge Force products are a peculiar beast. I did see a pretty good demo at an AES convention a few years ago and that's why I became interested. Their idea is to create an instrument that is played on the keyboard (or notes entered in a MIDI editor) and sounds exactly like the unprocessed signal you'd get from a guitar on an audio interface with direct input (DI signal). Any guitar player will tell you that the unprocessed DI signal doesn't sound great, that you will want pedals and processors (outboard or ITB vst/aax) and the same is true of the Wedge Force instruments. It is intended for a rather niche audience that wants to enjoy the tweaking of guitar pedals and processors as if they had a physical guitar. If you're just looking for an instrument to generate realistic guitar sounds using a keyboard - could you get the guitar sound that you want by using as a starting point a signal that is already processed and not DI? Most likely yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely yes. I like the idea of having a DI guitar on which I can slap AmpliTube or Guitar Rig to get various different types of electric guitar characters. That's why I bought Wedge Force Matcha. But I just couldn't get it to sound good. Looking at online comments I then realised that I'm not alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely yes. Guitar player here and I tested the previous guitar plugin though the best amp sims and effects in the box and even tried to reamp though some boutique amps via a reamp box. I personally couldn't get anything that sounded like a guitar tone Id want. Plugged in a $100 guitar and it sounded an order of magnitude better. I uninstalled and was one of very few PA plugins I didn't plop down $15 for after a demo. Of course I'm sure someone more skilled than myself could get something usable out of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dineen Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hydro -- drench your tracks with dubious guitar tones, drown out annoying vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
