Unleash the crushing precision and relentless energy of modern progressive metal with MONUMENTAL, a collection of 8 carefully crafted Fractal presets inspired by the unmistakable guitar sound of Monuments and John Browne.
Built around aggressive rhythm tones, exceptional note separation and dynamic playing response, MONUMENTAL captures the essential characteristics of technical, rhythm-driven progressive metal.
From razor-sharp palm-muted riffs and complex polyrhythmic patterns to atmospheric cleans and experimental synth-infused sounds, this pack delivers a versatile collection of tones designed to remain clear, powerful and articulate, even under extreme distortion.
Whether you're tracking intricate progressive metal arrangements, performing technical riffs or exploring creative soundscapes, MONUMENTAL provides the definition and aggression your playing demands.
CARDINAL RIFF
An aggressive, highly responsive rhythm tone designed for powerful 6-string riffs. Reacts dynamically to picking intensity, delivering increased aggression and expression as you dig in.
FAST RHYTHM
A tight, focused rhythm tone optimized for rapid picking patterns, intricate palm-muted passages and technically demanding riffs. Exceptional precision keeps every note clearly defined.
ORIGIN OF 7 STRING
A crushing high-gain rhythm tone specifically designed for 7-string guitars and low tunings. Optimized for Drop A and below, with a powerful low end and aggressive attack.
ESCAPE CLEAN
An expansive, atmospheric clean tone featuring a spacious, cascading character. Perfect for ambient introductions, progressive interludes and cinematic soundscapes.
ESCAPE CRUNCH
A distinctive atmospheric crunch tone with a sharp, crystalline edge. Combines expressive breakup with a glass-like character for textured melodic passages.
CLARITY LOW TUNE
An exceptionally articulate rhythm tone designed for extreme low tunings around Drop F#. Maintains definition and note separation even during heavily distorted, technically complex passages.
RIFF WITH SYNTH
An experimental preset that blends aggressive guitar riffing with synthesizer-like textures, creating a layered sound that combines the impact of a guitar with the character of a synth.
RIFF CREATOR
A powerful, punchy rhythm tone featuring aggressive chugs, a strong picking attack and an immediate response. Built for creating massive modern metal riffs.
The defining characteristic of MONUMENTAL is its ability to preserve note definition without sacrificing heaviness.
Inspired by John Browne's distinctive approach to rhythm guitar, these presets emphasize the relationship between picking dynamics, tight low-end response and precise articulation.
Even during fast, heavily distorted passages and complex rhythmic patterns, individual notes remain distinct, allowing intricate guitar parts to retain their impact and clarity.
While aggressive progressive metal riffing is at the heart of this collection, MONUMENTAL also includes atmospheric cleans, crystalline crunch tones and experimental synth textures.
This combination makes the pack equally suited for writing complete progressive metal arrangements, moving from delicate ambient sections to devastating low-tuned riffs.
