Guitar Sounds Shaped by Pedal Processing

Cinematique Instruments says every sound in the collection was created with guitar and effects pedals, with no other sound sources used. The range runs from the warm, worn character of old Roland tape delays to harsher crude overdrives and bit-crushed textures. Granular cloud systems and swarm delays add dense, evolving tails, while the glitch-stutter sampler produces rhythmic chopped patterns.

Because the sounds come from one source type, the result has a consistent identity. The developer describes the collection as sounding unique and entirely guitar-based, which makes it a fit for producers who want guitar textures that sit outside conventional guitar playing.

Kontakt Setup and Bonus Content

Colors: Guitar Pedals runs inside Kontakt and requires the full version of Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher. The free Kontakt Player will not run the instrument; it will stay in demo mode.

The free 808 Drive instrument is included with the collection. It is a Kontakt instrument and beat machine containing original and processed recorded Roland TR-808 samples, giving you drum material that was recorded from the same hardware lineage as the pedal processing.
