Carnage Vibes is a metal guitar amp and multi-effect plugin from Quantum DSP, offering high-gain distortion, drop-tuning low end, cabinet IR simulation, delay and reverb. It is available in VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone formats.
Carnage Vibes is built around heavy guitar tones. Quantum DSP describes it as a software amp that boosts the guitar signal, with distortion ranging from controlled crunch to full modern saturation. The plugin is aimed at producers working in metal and hard rock, including drop-tuned material. Its interface is kept deliberately simple, with five instant recall slots for saving the sounds you use most. Delay and reverb are included for adding space without losing attack.
The distortion is described as dense and focused, covering everything from tight crunch to heavy modern saturation. Quantum DSP says the low end holds up under extended range and drop tunings, which matters when layering several guitar parts.
The cabinet section uses Hybrid IR technology to model guitar cabinets, with the aim of a speaker-in-a-room feel. Quantum DSP positions these cabs as full and forceful, staying punchy at high drive settings.
Carnage Vibes keeps its control layout minimal, so you can start playing without working through deep menus. Five recall slots store your go-to tones, so you can switch between saved sounds quickly while writing.
Delay and reverb are built in for ambience. They are meant to add depth to a guitar part while keeping its attack intact, which helps when a riff needs room around it.
