Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3.5 Hydra v2.0.3

The Shreddage 3 Hydra is the culmination of everything we at Impact Soundworks have learned over 10 years of making virtual guitars. It is our vision of what a no-compromise, high-quality 8-string guitar should be. Our internal quality bar was so high that we recorded the entire sample pack three times in pursuit of the perfect performance and tone.

Now it’s finally done, and you can enjoy a real rock and metal virtual guitar in your music.

We chose the RGIF8 “Iron Label” tuned to a low E for our guitar, and equipped it with our signature Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi pickups. These pickups put the Shreddage 3 Hydra in a class of its own, even compared to our other instruments. Not only do they have clear and useful tones (neck and bridge position), but they also have unrivaled clarity and low noise. Some open string sustain notes last for over 40 seconds!

Naturally, this is a killer guitar for rock and metal music, especially the heavier subgenres and progressive variations. But as you can hear from our step-by-step guide and demos, the clean toning capabilities are just as impressive. The clarity and sustain of the pickups make the Hydra a great choice for any style of ‘gaze’ music.

No matter the style or genre of music you love to create, we know the Shreddage 3 Hydra will become an integral part of your production process. It definitely matters to us!

The ultimate badass 8-string guitar for rock and metal music! Write crystal-clear clean tones, screaming leads, or brutal chugs with incredible realism. With two distinct pickups, 30,000+ samples, and over 50 included tone snapshots, Shreddage 3 Hydra is the most complete Shreddage guitar ever.
