It’s Not a Guitar . . . It’s a Guitar, Reimagined

55 Guitar Models are available including Filters, FX… all kinds of synthesizer features to help you sculpt your sounds. These are of course used already in the many included presets!

And NO… PowerChord will never replace a real guitar player… but a real guitar player can’t replace PowerChord as well, because of the unique sounds it can create!

Step into sequence: virtual precision, lifelike performances

As Papen himself puts it, “PowerChord will never replace a real guitar player . . . but a real guitar player will never replace PowerChord.” This strikes at the heart of what PowerChord is: the timbres, tones, and expressivity you love about the guitar, with the exploratory flexibility of virtual synthesis.

Down to the individual note, dedicated Volume and Decay values can be defined for standard, Long, and Ghost strokes when using the multifaceted Groove Sequencer, with per-step values adjustable for the Decay and Release values of both the Filter LFO and Amp, as well as Velocity, Semi-offset, swing, smoothness, and ratcheting parameters. What’s more, each of the Groove Sequencer’s four layers includes 32 steps, each with malleable keyboard-splitting options to distribute each layer linearly across the keys of your controller. Plus, every layer offers two free spaces of the sequencer’s 11 per-step variables, allowing for extensive customization of presets and home-brewed sounds.

Electrifying expression and multitudes of modulation

While PowerChord’s step sequencer offers immense depth and dynamism, the plug-in’s real-time performance capabilities supply unrivaled control over the expressive nuances of your playing — not unlike a physical guitar but tailored to the unique potential of synthesizer-driven sonics.

The 8-slot modulation matrix lets you craft evocative and complex aural relationships, limited only by your expressive ambition, while pitch-bending capabilities can be individually adjusted for their respective upward and downward ranges. Moreover, the Pitch LFO and the Filter LFO can be customized for shared or separate control sources, with optional tempo-sync, speed, and modulation-amount controls for both options. For expanded expressive possibilities, PowerChord was designed with a ribbon-style controller that features a flexible slew of configurations, including tempo-based and quantized spring-back behavior, as well as unipolar and bipolar operation.

analog-modeled textures and more, from clean to crunch

Few things are as synonymous with playing the guitar — apart from the actual instrument — as effects, and Rob Papen didn’t pull his punches when he and his team designed PowerChord’s dazzling texturizing tools. Across three Master FX slots, you’re given access to 34 different types of effects, spanning delays, choruses, phasers, flangers, ring modulators, stereo-sculpting tools, wah-wahs, talk boxes, lo-fi, waveshaping, and filters.

PowerChord also provides a pentacle of pliable amp and cab simulations, with five options for both categories that have been methodically modeled from iconic models and repurposed to meet the distinct sonic palette of the plug-in. Eleven pre-filter distortions are also available, spanning a broad variety of aural characteristics to suit the flexibility of PowerChord’s numerous tuning, chord-based, and single-note guitar options. Plus, the analog-modeled filters comprise 25 unique styles, as well as Ring and Amp Modulation capabilities, with a multimode 5-band parametric EQ — equipped with a dedicated Lowcut filter mode — completing the highly versatile suite of sonic contouring.
