Archetype: Cory Wong X
An incredibly versatile plugin, designed to offer a wide variety of options for players in search of the perfect clean and edge-of-break-up tones
Overview
It is hard to think of many artists that have been able to achieve what Vulfpeck has. The perfect combination of insane talent, fantastic music, and branding genius has taken them from their DIY roots to amassing an internationally revered cult-like fanbase, selling out Madison Square Garden. In that, Cory Wong has become a modern guitar hero, known for his unique playing style and perfect tone.
Cory’s uncompromising standards and borderline unrealistic expectations for perfection provided the challenge we were after. The result is unlike anything we have done before: an incredibly versatile plugin, designed to offer a wide variety of options for players in search of the perfect clean and edge-of-break-up tones.
We proudly present you, Archetype: Cory Wong X
Wah
We meticulously crafted the exact sweep Cory wanted in a wah pedal. By mapping a MIDI controllable expression pedal, you can quickly set the plugin to learn the range of your pedal giving you full control of the sweep. If you don’t have an expression pedal, enable auto-wah for endless whacca-whacca fun!
Pre Effects
Featuring a collection of Cory’s favourite pedals, these virtual models will give you everything from out-and-out funk tones to beautiful tube amp saturation.
The Postal Service
A complex envelope filter with a simple user interface.
The 4th Position Compressor
Cory’s signature sound; giving you all the squish and punchiness a modern compressor should.
The Tuber
A modded classic; a booster loved by tube amp fanatics.
The Big Rig Overdrive
A heavy and powerful overdrive pedal that pushes saturation to the beginnings of fuzz.
Amps
D.I. Funk Console
Based on an analog channel strip, the D.I. Funk Console allows you to recreate the classic “bubble tone”. Featuring Tube Saturation, a powerful Compressor, selectable frequencies on the EQ section, and High Pass and Low Pass filters for ultimate control. The D.I. Funk Console works great without a cabinet! Bypass it to add some vintage color to your D.I. signal.
The Clean Machine
An amalgamation of the best clean amps in the industry, this amp was customized to Cory’s needs, adding a bigger range of control and versatility. The result delivers crisp, clean tones with a beautifully warm top end.
The Amp Snob
A model of one of the rarest amplifiers in history, the Amp Snob is incredibly versatile: At lower gain settings you can achieve crystal clear clean tones. Crank the gain and master volume controls for the iconic edge of breakup tone. The tube power amp will soften high transients and round up the sound of boosters, complimented with a great bottom end and dynamic response.
Cabsim
We engineered a very comprehensive and adaptive cabinet simulation module featuring six virtual microphones, which can be positioned around the speakers. The cabsim features 108 IRs per cab for a total of 324 IRs captured by Adam “Nolly” Getgood.
This module can also serve as a standard loader for your favorite impulse response files.
These features can be used on both mono and stereo configurations; the latter allows for a second microphone to be added with full panning, microphone level, and phase parameters in addition to position and distance, for ultimate control and endless sonic possibilities.
Room Reverb
The Room Send controls in the cabsim module introduce a subtle room reverb effect, adding natural depth to your sound.
Link/Unlink
This unique control allows you to use each head with its matched cabinet, or experiment by interchanging them.
EQ
Ideal for detailed spectrum adjustment, the onboard 9-band graphic equalizer, now featuring high and low-pass filters, allows for total control over frequency response.
Post Effects
The post-effects section includes three powerful pedals
The 80s
A lush, shimmering vintage chorus with 80s flair.
Delay-y-y
Designed based on analog circuits, this BBD delay engine will give you an incredibly warm tone and beautiful repetitions.
The Wash
A powerful reverb stompbox with a Shimmer switch to immerse yourself in a dreamy atmosphere.
Transpose & Doubler
Transpose: Pitch your guitar up or down by a constant interval (+12/-12 semitones). Use this to easily change the tuning of your instrument.
Doubler: Project your signal to a simulated stereo field giving you the sound of a double-tracked recording.
Tuner
Now featuring an additional live tuner that displays at the bottom of the UI.
Metronome
To perfectly supplement your practice, the metronome allows you to control time signature, accent sounds, and note values (the metronome is only available in Standalone).
