The Rig

Everything from the gate to the limiter, built for low tunings, fast chugs and breakdowns that hit like a casket lid.

3-channel amp head

Clean, Crunch and Lead channels, each with its own Gain, Low, Mid, High, Presence, Resonance and Volume. Global input, noise gate, high-pass filter, drive, punch and master.

6-pedal board

FLAYER, SUBGRAVE, THE GALLOWS and MAIMER in front of the amp. CATACOMB and MAUSOLEUM after the cab. Pedals and distortion run at 4x oversampling.

Cab, mics & IR loader

A built-in 4x12 with two mics: dynamic, ribbon or condenser. Set mic position and distance, blend the two, or load your own IR (WAV / AIFF / FLAC) and blend it with the built-in cab.

DOUBLE

Stereo double-tracking from one DI. Two takes with slightly different timing and voicing, spread left and right for a wall of guitar. Width and Variation controls.

CHOKE

A low-end palm-mute compressor. It clamps the low-end bloom that smears fast chugs together and lets the pick attack through. Amount, crossover, release, pre- or post-cab.

Workflow

Built-in tuner, 16 factory presets plus your own, input / output / limiter / CHOKE meters, a stereo correlation meter, and full undo / redo.

6-band EQ

Six faders from 100 Hz to 4 kHz, ±12 dB each, plus level. Tighten the low end before the amp.

SUBGRAVE stompbox: gold knobs over a skeletal hand rising from an open grave

SUBGRAVE

Octave

Octave-down and octave-up voices with grit, level and dry mix. Adds weight to slam riffs.

THE GALLOWS stompbox: eight gold knobs, a Normal / Burn switch and two footswitches over a noose under a stormy purple sky

THE GALLOWS

Chainsaw distortion

Two-stage chainsaw distortion with wide Low / High EQ, a sweepable mid, Normal / Burn voicing, its own boost and gate. Also sold on its own as The Gallows.

MAIMER stompbox: four gold knobs over a clawed ghoul with glowing eyes

MAIMER

Overdrive

Drive, tone, mid and level. The classic tight boost in front of a high-gain amp.

CATACOMB stompbox: gold knobs and a tempo-sync selector over a candlelit tunnel of skulls

CATACOMB

Analog delay

20 ms to 2 s, with repeats, mix, tone, modulation and tempo sync. Turn the time knob and the pitch glides.

MAUSOLEUM stompbox: six gold knobs over a ghostly figure in a stone tomb doorway

MAUSOLEUM

Reverb

Size, decay (a quarter second up to 12 s), pre-delay, low cut, high cut and mix.

The Cab

  • Built-in 4x12 closed-back cab, with switchable artwork.
  • Two mics, each dynamic, ribbon or condenser, with position (cap to cone) and distance controls.
  • A/B blend between the two mics. They sit on the same speaker, so they blend in phase.
  • Custom IR loader for WAV, AIFF and FLAC, with IR blend against the mic'd built-in cab, plus level, low cut and high cut.
  • Cab off sends the raw amp out to your own IR loader.

Windows only for now.

Which DAWs does it work in?

Any VST3 host on Windows, such as FL Studio, Reaper, Ableton Live and Cubase. You can also run the Standalone app without a DAW.

What's the difference between Broketone and The Gallows?
