Image Line Software Releases "Hardcore" Guitar Effects Collection

October 14, 2008

Image Line Software introduces to the market a collection of guitar effects called 'Hardcore'. Available for both Mac and PC users, Hardcore gives virtual access to 10 popular stomp-box style effects, each with a unique sonic character.

"When I started Hardcore the idea was to fill the 'distortion' guitar plugin gap in the Image Line FX suite, but it turned into a much bigger and exciting project" noted the developer of Hardcore, Maxx Claster. It seems that once Maxx had created one guitar plugin, it was difficult for him to stop. Maxx is well known to Image Line customers for the synths Morphine, PoiZone and Toxic.

Hardcore includes 10 carefully crafted stomp-box simulations:

  • Distortion
  • Chorus
  • Flanger
  • Phaser
  • Reverb
  • Delay
  • Noise Gate
  • Equalizer
  • Compression
  • Modulator
Five stomp-box simulations can be arranged in any order on the Hardcore pedal board. The output then passes through an 8-band graphic EQ and Cabinet Simulator, tying it all together into one massive sound.
