Shreddage 3 Argent – Krys Polezoes
“So, what do I think of Argent? Honestly, I wasn’t 100% sold on it at first, but the more I’ve gotten to play with it, I think, the more I’ve sort of warmed up to and now prefer it over Hydra. I think that the DI has a really nice dark tone to it, and you know, I don’t really tune as low as this thing can go, but being able to have a guitar that can play that low if you really want it without having to transpose it and mess up the performance and all that stuff; it’s nice, you know. The guitar doesn’t sound warped or strange playing that low, which is definitely a step above Hydra, where the only way to play it lower was to just down tune it through Kontakt’s natural sample transposition.”
“I’m mostly going to be talking about its applicability to writing heavy riffs for the purpose of creating argent metal, and for that, I think it excels. It has a lot of range; like I said it’s able to tune super low, especially compared to Hydra. And I mean honestly, even though I’m not using some of the presets in here, they’re not bad; it comes with a good amount of brutal presets.”
“Pretty dark, pretty smooth, pretty clean.”
