Thanks to exhaustive sampling of all useful articulations, dynamics, RR variations, and layers, Hydra gives you all the tools you need to create absolutely incredible guitar tracks.
Some open-string sustain notes ring out for over 40 seconds! They not only have distinct and useful tones (neck & bridge positions), but their clarity and low noise floor is unmatched. These pickups put Shreddage 3 Hydra in its own class, even compared to other instruments. Impact Soundworks selected an 'Iron Label' RGIF8 drop-tuned to low E, and equipped it with Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi Signature pickups. Their internal bar of quality was so high that thery recorded the entire sample set three times in their pursuit of the perfect performances and tone.
This is their vision of what a no-compromises, maximum-quality 8-string guitar should be. Shreddage 3 Hydra is the culmination of everything Impact Soundworks learned in 10 years of creating virtual guitars. Ultimate Badass 8-string Guitar for Rock and Metal
