Axe Machina
Axe Machina is a powerful virtual electric guitar library built for heavy metal and modern high-gain music. It features Craig Peters’ custom Kiesel Aries 7-string guitar, tuned to standard A for deep, aggressive tones.
The library includes detailed samples of individual notes, power chords, muted notes, harmonics, pick scrapes, slides, fret noise, and many other guitar articulations. You can use the clean DI signal with your favorite amp simulator or choose ready-made high-gain tones.
