Classic guitar pedal effects
Digital Performer 7's suite of stunningly accurate classic guitar pedal emulations are modeled after all-time favorites from Boss, MXR, Electro-Harmonix, Ibanez and others. These stomp box plug-ins produce authentic tones made famous by the signature guitar sounds of artists such as Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Carlos Santana, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, and many other rock/pop legends. When users dial in settings for their favorite guitar tones, the resulting sound is identical to - and indistinguishable from - the real thing. The suite includes nine pedals, including the Tube Wailer, Uber Tube, Diamond Drive, RXT, Delta Fuzz, Wah Pedal and others. Users can experiment with hundreds of tones and thousands of combinations.

Custom '59 amp modeler
Custom '59 meticulously models three all-time classic guitar amplifiers: the Fender Bassman, the Marshall JTM45 and the Marshall JCM800. Users can adjust tone settings, drive and tube combinations to produce rich, luscious guitar tones that faithfully reproduce the sound of each amp. But Custom '59 goes further: users can mix and match the preamp tube, preamp circuit and tone stack from each model to create their own custom amps. The possibilities for tone are virtually limitless, all born from the iconic pedigree of three legendary originals.

Live Room | G
Digital Performer 7's Live Room | G is a superb physical modeling speaker cabinet emulator plug-in with four mic channels (two mono and one stereo), mixable mic positions (close, near and far) and 3-band EQ per channel. What convolution did for reverb, Live Room | G does for speaker cabinet emulation, thanks to the next-generation physical modeling technology at its core. Engineered for the unprecedented power of today's personal computers, the modeling technology in Live Room | G captures every nuance and detail of the hundreds of factors that interact to recreate the rich, detailed sound of a speaker cabinet in a real room recorded by four separate mics. Five cabinet models are supplied, including a 4x12 Modern for ultra-distorted chunks and sludge, a 4x12 Vintage for those '80s hair-band tributes and '70s proto-metal, and a 2x12 Combo for Muscle-Shoals-style southern rock and country.


MOTU Digital Performer 7 New Features:

• Channel Strip - a customizable, floating window (or edit window cell) that provides instant access to each track's mixer channel. Channel strip always follows the track the user is working on.
  
• Inline EQ and dynamics - lets users control EQ and dynamics directly in each Mixing Board channel with a multi-band graphic EQ display and a vintage-style compression meter, using any included EQ or dynamics processor, such as Digital Performer's award-winning modeled British console EQ and leveling amplifier faithfully modeled after the legendary LA-2A.
  
• Consolidated V-Racks - lets users view V-Rack virtual instruments and effects side by side with disk tracks in the Mixing Board.
