Heavier Metal

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.

Key Features

– 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

Compatibility

Heavier Metal runs in any AUv3-compatible host such as Logic Pro (Mac/iPad), GarageBand (Mac/iOS), AUM, Cubasis, and more.

Available exclusively on the App Store.
