What it is

Velvet Guitars is a virtual guitar instrument from e-instruments built around five distinct guitars: Velvet Guitar, Mellow Baritone, Shimmer Guitar, Semi Hollow, and Amped Acoustic. It runs through two vintage-style amps (American clean and British chime) with real spring reverb and tremolo, and the whole signal was tracked through Rupert Neve Designs preamps for a warm, velvety-to-cinematic tone.

Who it's for

Producers and composers who want realistic, playable guitar textures for singer-songwriter tracks, cinematic scoring, or ambient beds without recording a real player.
