Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3 Archtop is a meticulously crafted virtual instrument that captures the warm, mellow tone of a classic hollowbody electric guitar, perfect for jazz, blues, R&B, funk, and pop styles.

Recorded with incredible detail by session musician Josh Workman, the Shreddage 3 Archtop features over 20,000 high-quality 24-bit samples, captured through two pickup positions (neck and bridge) for versatile tonal options. The instrument offers a wide range of articulations including sustains, power chords, palm mutes, staccatos, harmonics, pinch harmonics, tapping, tremolo, slides, fingered vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, rakes, and chokes, allowing for highly expressive and realistic performances.

Each string is sampled from open note to the highest fret with multiple dynamic layers and up/downstroke variations, providing an authentic playing experience. With 31 production-ready tone snapshots, users can quickly switch between clean, ambient, and hi-gain amped sounds, covering a broad sonic palette.

An integrated Console modular FX rack and mixer includes over 30 effects such as EQs, compressors, spatial effects, amps, distortion pedals, reverbs, and custom cabinet impulse responses, enabling full control over the sound.

Shreddage 3 Archtop is recorded DI using a true analog signal chain for maximum warmth and clarity, making it ideal for both clean and amped tones, with a particular strength in cleaner sounds.
