MLC S_Zero 93
#####################
Discover the ultimate toolbox of tone for majestic, gnarly, and extreme guitar tones. The MLC S_Zero 93 plugin is for those willing to give themselves over to chaos and fury.
The MLC S_Zero 93 is the officially licensed version of the signature guitar amp of Sven Atle Kopperud (aka Silenoz), guitarist for the Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir.
#####################
An Extreme Metal Toolbox
#####################
MLC S_Zero 93 plugin - amp
With one clean, and two distorted channels of different flavors, this amp is unashamedly focused on the high gain tones with unparallel string clarity.
Channel 1
Offers a crystal clear, but thick and lush clean sound that offers a perfect platform for ambient and creative effects.
Channel 2
Dives headlong into high gain, providing an organic, gnarly gain structure with wonderful definition and clarity. The loose, chaotic distortion character lends itself to brutal, bludgeoning tones.
Channel 3
The most brutal of all, channel 3 tightens and refines the character of Channel 2, adding an edge and aggression to its pure intensity without sacrificing note definition. Perfect for articulate and cutting riffs.
The power amp tubes can be switched per channel between 6L6 and KT88 — a feature not available on the physical MLC S_Zero 93 amp.

FASCINATION STREET OCTAVE
A brand new dual-octave Fascination Street Octave pedal with intelligent pitch detection opens up a unique variety of creative sounds.
Descend into the depths of fire and brimstone and embrace the extreme!
MLC Brown Sugar
Four overdrives in one.
The MLC Brown Sugar pedal offers a unique mode selector, completely altering the clipping characteristics of the Class A preamp.
Dial in a truly personalized sound.
MLC Brown Sugar
FASCINATION STREET OVD-2
A studio classic.
Building on the unique flavor of the Fascination Street OVD-1 featured in the MLC S_Zero 100 plugin, the OVD-2 from Jens' personal collection unlocks further avenues of crushing gain.
#####################
More Than IRs
#####################
Ultimate Control
In a lot of setups, the cab and the mic are responsible for most of your tone. So it’s no surprise that the flexible tone monster that is the MLC S_Zero 93 plugin comes with plenty of options for getting the cab sound just right.
Don’t worry! If you’d rather get straight to playing your guitar just use one of the many expertly made presets that are included.
Endless combinations
Easily control the distance, position, and angle mic placement with intuitive controls. With the ability to run one or two cabs simultaneously using the mix controls and to load your own custom IRs, you have all the tools you need to get the perfect tone.
The two cabs have been carefully selected and set up by Jens Bogren personally, but if you want more options, you can load any impulse response into the two speaker slots.
#####################
The future of speaker modeling
#####################
Our IRDX (Impulse Response Dynamix) technology breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life speaker behavior to static impulse responses.
IRDX technology, developed by producer Jens Bogren, uses advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response.
The end result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great when playing through.
Impulse Responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet, but by nature, they are only a static snapshot in time.
By itself, an impulse response has the tonal characteristics of a real cab but without dynamics, it creates a lifeless, fatiguing sound.
Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier. They move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp.
#####################
A Classic studio EQ
#####################
Add a final touch to the sound with this faithful model of a classic analog studio equalizer.
Its ease of use and well-chosen frequencies have made this particular EQ popular for sculpting guitar sounds in high-end studios worldwide.

About Trivium Ampknob bundle
########################
###Ampknob Trivium Rhythm
This rhythm guitar monster offers a broad range of terrific tones and yet maintains a straightforward interface. The Boost switch goes between three distinctive flavors, from sparkly clean to face-melting high-gain, with crunch tones in the middle.
The Gain knob lets you fine-tune the distortion levels within each of the three Boost settings. The amp has been crafted with Matt and Corey’s ultra-precise riffing in mind and provides an extremely tight low end that never muddies up those fast chugs. The clean Boost setting features a tasty reverb, providing depth and support for calmer moments.
For further sonic options, the Ampknob Trivium Rhythm comes with two different cabinets.
### Trivium Bassknob
Paolo Gregoletto prefers a bright bass tone that lets string noise and snarl poke through the wall of guitars while still delivering an uncompromisingly solid low-frequency foundation for the songs.
The Bassknob Trivium has been designed to deliver just that. Use a bass with bright, clean bass strings and clear pickups, run it through the Bassknob Trivium plugin, and you’ll find yourself nailing Paolo’s signature tone in seconds. Is the amp too clean for you? Kick it into overdrive with the Drive button.
### Ampknob Trivium Lead
Tailored for blistering leads and soaring melody parts, the Ampknob Trivium Lead delivers a tonal character that makes your guitar solos sit right on top of the rhythm guitars.
But the Ampknob Trivium Lead is much more than just an amplifier model.
It also includes a chorus/doubler effect we call Chorey, and a delay — essential effects for great Trivium lead tones.

About Beyerdynamic
Beyerdynamic history is characterized by the development and advancement of a wide variety of innovations. In the 1930s, the company created the first dynamic headphones and the first studio-ready dynamic microphone.
This sound expertise sets Beyerdynamic apart. Since the company was founded by Eugen Beyer in 1924, Beyerdynamic has relied on the “Made in Germany” seal of quality.
100 years later, around 85% of the headphones and microphones Beyerdynamic sold are still manufactured in Germany – and mostly by hand!
Whenever good sound matters, Beyerdynamic is there.

- Works in the free Kontakt Player
########################
Fast and flexible
########################
Trivium Drums was created with one goal in mind — to deliver pro-level drum tracks fast. From the moment you launch the instrument, you have access to Alex Bent’s drum sound, recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren and ready for use in your next song. If you prefer mixing yourself, switch from Processed to Natural, which removes Jens’ mix processing and gives you the drum sounds just as they were originally tracked. Should you need to, open the Mixer tab where you can set the individual drum mic levels, determine the amount of bleed between the channels, add reverb, and switch in the parallel compressor.
########################
Smart tools included
########################
To assist you in creating lifelike drum performances, Trivium Drums includes Bogren Digital’s proprietary Anti-Machinegun feature. The algorithm intelligently adds variation to fast consecutive drum hits to avoid the unnatural machinegun effect that can otherwise occur. Another clever feature is Auto Double Kick, which automatically alternates between two different kick drums during fast kick drum runs.
########################
Alex plays on your song
########################
Alex Bent has recorded 100 MIDI grooves and fills that you can play from within Trivium Drums or simply drag and drop as MIDI files into your DAW session if you prefer that workflow. It’s a great way to get a song idea moving fast and avoid getting stuck with detailed drum programming. You can always fine-tune the drum programming later if the MIDI groove you picked needs a bit of adapting to fit your song. There is also a separate collection of drum fills, which can be particularly difficult to get natural-sounding when you program drums.

Alex Bent has recorded 100 MIDI grooves and fills that you can play from within Trivium Drums or simply drag and drop as MIDI files into your DAW session if you prefer that workflow. It’s a great way to get a song idea moving fast and avoid getting stuck with detailed drum programming. You can always fine-tune the drum programming later if the MIDI groove you picked needs a bit of adapting to fit your song. There is also a separate collection of drum fills, which can be particularly difficult to get natural-sounding when you program drums.

Ampknob Trivium Rhythm
Tagline: A Feast of Fire
########################
This rhythm guitar monster offers a broad range of terrific tones and yet maintains a straightforward interface. The Boost switch goes between three distinctive flavors, from sparkly clean to face-melting high-gain, with crunch tones in the middle.
The Gain knob lets you fine-tune the distortion levels within each of the three Boost settings. The amp has been crafted with Matt and Corey’s ultra-precise riffing in mind and provides an extremely tight low end that never muddies up those fast chugs. The clean Boost setting features a tasty reverb, providing depth and support for calmer moments.
For further sonic options, the Ampknob Trivium Rhythm comes with two different cabinets.
########################
Bassknob Trivium
Tagline: Ember to Inferno
########################
Paolo Gregoletto prefers a bright bass tone that lets string noise and snarl poke through the wall of guitars while still delivering an uncompromisingly solid low-frequency foundation for the songs.
The Bassknob Trivium has been designed to deliver just that. Use a bass with bright, clean bass strings and clear pickups, run it through the Bassknob Trivium plugin, and you’ll find yourself nailing Paolo’s signature tone in seconds. Is the amp too clean for you? Kick it into overdrive with the Drive button.
########################
Ampknob Trivium Lead
Tagline: Watch the world burn
########################
Tailored for blistering leads and soaring melody parts, the Ampknob Trivium Lead delivers a tonal character that makes your guitar solos sit right on top of the rhythm guitars.
But the Ampknob Trivium Lead is much more than just an amplifier model.
It also includes a chorus/doubler effect we call Chorey, and a delay — essential effects for great Trivium lead tones.
To top it off, the effects can be used in stereo for wide, attention-grabbing sounds.

Join producer Jens Bogren for a walkthrough of the Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 guitar amp plugin. Three channels featuring cleans, crunch, and heavy distortion all in an extremely easy to use package.
🎥 Metronome walkthrough: youtube.com/watch?v=5MEcbPg4u6o
🎥 IRDX Technology: youtube.com/watch?v=5NnbEz3PV4o
EFFORTLESS BOUTIQUE TONE
Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 gives you a distraction-free path to boutique tube amp sound, providing world-class quality and a straightforward workflow.
Get high-end guitar amp tones with minimal effort, and stay focused on laying down great guitar parts and solos. Ampknob S_Zero 100 has been designed to sound great from the moment you launch the plugin.
Should you want to make any adjustments, the controls have been boiled down to a single knob and a switch. There’s a lot going on underneath the hood of Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 — all so you can simply plug in and rock out.
ONE KNOB, THREE CHANNELS
The original MLC S_Zero 100 is a three-channel monster amp with many possibilities. With the Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 plugin, we have captured the breadth of available sounds within the range of a single knob.
- Low Gain setting: This is Channel 1 of the original MLC S_Zero 100, which goes from clean and sparkly to a deep, three-dimensional overdrive.
- Mid Gain setting: Here’s where you’ll find the the tasty organic tube crunch of Channel 2.
- High Gain setting. You guessed it! Turn the Gain knob up high and you will expose the world to the fire-breathing yet dynamic Channel 3 of the original MLC S_Zero 100
GO INTO OVERDRIVE!
Ampknob boost pedal
Need a boost? The Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 plugin includes a pedal switch, activated with the push of a button on the plugin’s front panel.
The pedal tightens up the lowend and drives the input a bit harder.
FEATURE-PACKED STANDALONE VERSION
Just like Bogren Digital’s other guitar amp sims, a standalone version is included with the Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 plugin.
The standalone version includes a tuner, a metronome, and a practical riff recorder, allowing you to capture ideas on the fly without opening your entire DAW.
STAY IN TIME, STAY IN TUNE
The standalone version of Ampknob now comes with a built-in metronome for you to stay sharp at your guitar playing skills.
Change meter, accent, or set automatic speed increments so you can focus on practicing without even taking your hands off the guitar.
The excellent built-in tuner means you're always ready to jam!
TWO CABINETS AND IRDX TECHNOLOGY
Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 comes with two different speaker cabinets — Vintage and Modern — adding even more sonic options.
As with all Bogren Digital amp simulators, Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 has our proprietary IRDX technology built in. IRDX mimics the non-linear behavior that real-life guitar speakers exhibit, but which is invariably lost when capturing cabinet impulse responses.
You can load any IR into Ampknob MLC S_Zero, automatically enhancing it with IRDX technology.

🎥 Watch the IRDX Tech video: youtube.com/watch?v=5NnbEz3PV4o
Join producer Jens Bogren on a walkthrough of the IRDX Core plugin and see how you can add realistic speaker dynamics to any Impulse Response or non-Bogren Digital amp sim.
IRDX Core — Speaker Dynamics
Breathe life into your guitar amp sims and cabinet impulse responses. Simply add IRDX Core after your guitar amp or IR loader plugin and discover the natural movement, the 3D sensation, the slightly jagged edges, and the unpredictability you could previously only obtain by recording an actual guitar cabinet at high volumes with a microphone.
What’s wrong with IRs?
As much as Bogren Digital loves impulse responses, it’s important to understand that all IRs have a significant limitation: they can only capture a static, linear image of the tone curve and resonances of the cabinet. Real-life guitar speakers, on the other hand, are non-linear, which is a fancy way of saying they react dynamically to the signal that is being fed into them. It’s those non-linearities that IRDX faithfully emulates and adds to your amp sim or IR loader.
This is the IRDX difference
The IRDX effect may seem subtle at first. But going back and forth between enabling and bypassing it, here’s what you’ll notice:
With IRDX Core disabled, every stroke on the guitar sounds similar, and the guitar seems somewhat two-dimensional and lifeless.
With IRDX activated, differences between the individual strokes are more discernible, the sound wakes up, and you get all the changes over time that are so important to keep the listeners’ attention.
Using IRDX Core in a mixing situation adds width, movement, and excitement to guitar tracks. It also helps guitars sit better with the other instruments.
With IRDX Core activated, the guitar sound reacts more realistically to your playing when you play through an amp sim in real time.
How do I use the IRDX Core plugin?
In any major DAW, launch the IRDX Core plugin on an insert slot that immediately follows an IR loader plugin or a guitar amp simulation that includes a model of a speaker cab. You can use IRDX Core to enhance any such plugin — except for the Bogren Digital ones! That’s because all our amp sim plugins already have the IRDX technology built into them, so there’s no need to add IRDX Core after those. But any other brand’s IR loader or guitar amp plugin will sound better if it’s followed by IRDX Core.
In most cases, no adjustments are necessary in the IRDX Core plugin. But you may want to use the calibrate function or manually adjust input/output volume to ensure you get a healthy level from your amp sim into IRDX Core. If you prefer the IRDX effect to be more pronounced, you can switch from Normal to Intense and fine-tune the effect using the IRDX Amount knob.
Groundbreaking IRDX Technology
IRDX technology breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life behavior to static speaker impulse responses.
Impulse responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet. But by nature, they are only static snapshots in time. Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier — they move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp. An impulse response can replicate the tonal characteristics of a real cab but not the dynamics and other non-linearities. As a result, the sound of an IR can be two-dimensional, lifeless, and fatiguing.
The IRDX technology, developed by producer Jens Bogren, uses advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response. Any impulse response can be processed with IRDX, and the result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great to play.

Krimh Drums Free vs Krimh Drums (Paid Version)
Krimh Drums Free is a feature-limited version of the paid Krimh Drums. There is no difference in terms of sound quality, but the paid Krimh Drums contains a full studio mixer rack, the ability to set up multi-channel output, a larger collection of drum kit pieces, 100+ MIDI grooves by Krimh, and thirteen presets made by Jens Bogren. Essentially, there’s more of everything in the full version of Krimh Drums. The paid version also includes a pack of snare, kick, and tom samples in .TCI and .WAV formats for use with Slate Trigger 2 or any other sampler.
Music: "Earthborn" / "A Glaring Absence of Air" by Krimh
