Loudstakk, a leader in extreme music audio software, has teamed up with Cleveland-based guitarist Vanik to release a signature guitar tone pack. This collaboration introduces a new neural amp modeller profile and impulse response pack, bringing Vanik’s unique sound to guitar enthusiasts everywhere.
Vanik, influenced by iconic guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Paul Gilbert, Angus Young, Fast Eddie Clarke, Frank Marino, and Ted Nugent, shares his philosophy on tone: “The feel is everything. When I touch the strings lightly, I want a low-gain response, but when I dig in, the gain should increase. I don’t want any artificial enhancements; my tone should purely reflect the guitar, just amplified. I focused a lot on touch sensitivity while developing these tones, playing the guitar at various intensities until the sound felt just right. Then, I cranked up the amp to fully capture its tube growl, sag, and other subtle nuances. This pack is for confident guitarists unafraid of imperfections. It’s an honest tone, similar to plugging into a loud Marshall with no frills—it’s dynamic and raw. If that’s your style, this pack is for you.”
The pack includes 25 scorching NAM profiles, ranging from aggressive high-gain tones to powerful crunch sounds. It also offers 18 impulse response files with a variety of cabinet tones, all designed to maximize loudness. Introductory price: $19 (regular $35).
Known for blending classic thrash, rock ‘n’ roll, and punk into high-energy riffs, Vanik delivers unforgettable performances with his band, Midnight. Now, with Loudstakk’s exclusive tone pack, you can channel that same raw intensity. Elevate your sound with the powerful collaboration between Vanik and Loudstakk.
