Artera DSP have released Heavier Metal available at the intro price of $4.99.
A fully interactive high-gain distortion plugin modeled with Parametric NAM.
Heavier Metal is a modern distortion plugin based on one of the most aggressive pedals of the 1990s. Built using Artera DSP’s Parametric NAM engine, it delivers not just the sound — but the full behavior of the original circuit.
Every knob. Every nuance. Captured with precision.
This isn’t a snapshot. Heavier Metal is fully parametric — meaning all front-panel controls respond just like the original analog pedal. From razor-sharp riffs to soaring leads, it gives you the full expressive range of the original hardware, with the flexibility of a native plugin
Features include:
- Fully parametric NAM model — not a static capture
- Recreates the full tone-shaping behavior of the original HM-style pedal
- Mid-forward gain structure with massive sustain and tight low-end
- AUv3 plugin for macOS and iOS
- Native support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2)
- Ultra-low CPU usage and near-zero latency
