SPRES

The deal

$29 at KVR Marketplace (down from $49), 40% off. Sale runs through August 21, 2026.

What it is

SPRES is a zero-latency impulse response plugin built as a guitar cabinet simulator. Instead of relying on an amp plugin's built-in cab sim, you route your DAW-connected amp through SPRES for a cleaner, low-latency alternative that can sit anywhere in a guitar signal chain. It ships with two impulses - the original "Catharsis" capture plus a newer one co-designed by Ryan Harvey and Antonio D'Aquino - each with adjustable blend and onboard EQ shaping.

Who it's for

Guitarists, mixers, and audio engineers tracking direct or reamped guitar who want more control over cab tone than a stock amp-sim cabinet offers, particularly in heavier and metal-adjacent styles where the cab voicing matters as much as the amp.

Key features

• Zero-latency impulse response processing keeps timing tight for live tracking and monitoring
• Two included impulses cover a classic capture and a newer collaborative design
• Built-in EQ with R/T/OFF routing options lets you shape tone without adding a separate EQ plugin
• The MH Preset Manager keeps presets portable across Metric Halo's plugin lineup and platforms
