GUITARS: Unstable Guitar is a Kontakt instrument from KLANG that layers three guitar pads recorded through pedal effects. Each pad has its own volume control, and the levels can be varied automatically for organic textures.
GUITARS: Unstable Guitar is built around guitar pads rather than single notes. KLANG recorded three pads using an old Jazzmaster run through several effect pedals, so the sound already carries the character of a chained pedalboard. Each pad can be mixed independently, and the developer notes that the volume of all three can be varied automatically to produce shifting textures. It runs inside Native Instruments Kontakt.
KLANG describes the instrument as a new interpretation of the guitar, drawing on the team's background as composers. The sounds are based on a Jazzmaster played through a chain of pedal effects, which the developer says produces a hazy, earthy quality.
The three pads are the core of the instrument. Because each has its own volume control, you can blend them into a single bed or use one on its own as a sustained layer.
The most distinctive control is automatic volume variation. Enabling it lets the levels of all three pads change over time, which turns static sustained chords into evolving textures without manual automation.
This suits ambient cues, background layers and any part where you want a guitar presence that keeps moving underneath other elements.
