To celebrate their 12th anniversary, Audio Assault are offering Invicto as a FREE download.
If you’re looking for a guitar plugin that prioritizes raw, high-gain aggression without the digital “fizz,” Invicto is a heavy hitter. Modeled after the legendary Peavey Invective .120 (the brainchild of Misha Mansoor), it’s designed specifically for modern metal, djent, and progressive styles.
Invicto isn’t just another amp sim; it’s a precision tool for tight, articulated distortion. Here is what makes it a staple for high-gain enthusiasts:
- The Three Channels: It perfectly captures the versatility of the original hardware—a pristine Clean channel that takes pedals well, a Crunch channel for rock tones, and the Lead channel for absolute devastation.
- The “Boost” Section: It features a built-in overdrive modeled after the Precision Drive, allowing you to tighten up the low end before the signal even hits the preamp.
- Double Tracking: One of Audio Assault’s best features is the “Double” button, which simulates a wide, dual-tracked guitar sound instantly—perfect for quick songwriting sessions.
- Impulse Response (IR) Loader: It comes with a robust cabinet simulation module, but it also lets you load your own IRs to further customize your texture.
While many plugins lean toward a vintage warmth, Invicto is unapologetically modern, clinical, and punchy. It excels at fast, palm-muted riffing where clarity is king. It’s the kind of plugin that makes your mix sound “expensive” and tight with very little post-processing.
Invicto requires Amp Locker.
