What it is
Desolate Guitars is a virtual electric guitar instrument for Kontakt Player, built around four distinct guitars (Desolate, Chime, Baritone, Mellow) captured through vintage recording gear and Rupert Neve Designs preamps. It ships with two classic amp models featuring real spring reverb, plus vintage and pedal-style tremolo, giving it a cinematic, indie-leaning tone in the vein of Arctic Monkeys or moody David Lynch-style soundscapes.
Who it's for
Composers and producers who want expressive, characterful electric guitar textures for scoring or songwriting without needing to actually play guitar. It suits anyone building atmospheric or indie-rock-adjacent tracks who wants a playable, sample-based alternative to recording real guitar parts.
Key features
- Four guitars covering plucks, chords, swells, harmonics, and feedback in one library
- A modwheel control lets you morph between articulations in real time for expressive playing
- Built-in vintage amp and tremolo modeling recreates classic pedal and amp tones without extra plugins
- An extensive FX chain includes guitarist-designed presets for quick, usable sounds
