New Gear Alert: Nano Metal Muff by EHX, Zero-G’s Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals, Fuse Audio Labs Germanium & More

EHX unleashes the Nano Metal Muff.

Get your chugs to sound super tight with EHX’s new Nano Metal Muff pedal, featuring an onboard noise gate.

The EHX Nano Metal Muff was built for the player who demands nothing less than hard-hitting distortion and an intense, aggressive sound. It’s a combination of weaponized distortion and an extremely powerful EQ section that provides all the flexibility and tone-shaping needed to dial in an array of ultra-heavy sounds.

The Nano Metal Muff’s newly designed noise gate is a superb addition to this high-gain pedal, and eliminates unwanted hum when you stop playing. It features a noise floor threshold control (Gate) and its own LED to indicate when the gate is engaged. A compact footprint and intelligent, straightforward controls complete the picture.

The Nano Metal Muff comes equipped with a 9V battery and accepts a standard EHX 9.6DC200mA power supply. It is priced at $72.70.

Zero-G releases Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals.

Zero-G expands their Cinematic Vocals Series to include the new Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals.

Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals is Zero-G’s latest addition to the popular Cinematic Vocals Series. It includes two new Vocal True Legatos that offer a distinctive and different vocal timbre from the one included in the recently released Ethera Gold 2.5.

Using the voice of Clara Sorace with its thrilling blend of soul, cinematic quality, and emotionality, Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals will add drama and emotion to your work, thanks to two new articulations. Soft Oh has an angelic, flute-like sound which is perfect for soft or fantasy-type vocals. The second articulation is a Slow Legato. Thanks to Clara’s vocal range, Zero-G have created a dark, slow, True Legato which is ideal for creating vocal parts similar to that in the Gladiator film score. Use this True Legato for slow, emotional, dramatic vocals.

Ethera Gold Intimate Vocals is available now for $36.95, which includes an introductory 20% off until January 2nd, 2021. Existing Ethera customers can save an additional 20% with their Ethera Loyalty Discount code.

Fuse Audio Labs debuts the VPRE-31A Vintage Germanium Preamp plugin.

Harness the classic sonic footprint of the revered 60s Germanium preamp with Fuse Audio Labs’ VPRE-31A.

The VPRE-31A is a straightforward Germanium preamp from the 1960s with loads of power under the hood. Based on the rare 4-transistor original, this preamp is fueled by the special characteristic curve and even harmonic structure only found in Germanium-based designs. A custom UTC input transformer has been fitted for completing this massive hot rod.

The cockpit of the VPRE-31A is laid out for instant driving: Just get rolling by hitting the fully compensated Drive, choose your favorite impedance setting for fine-tuning the frequency response, and adjust the output level if needed. If you’d like to add some dust and old school vibes, the onboard Noise control will get you there without detour.

The VPRE-31A is available at an introductory promo price of $19 until January 16th, 2021 (reg. $39).
