reFX's Slayer2 starts from where its predecessor left-off. In particular, the physical model of the guitar has been completely revamped, improving the quality of the simulation. Not only does Slayer2 sound better, it is also much more flexible.
Up to 16 effects can now be used simultaneously; half of them before and half of them after the amplifier model. You can place any of the sixteen available stomp-box effects in any of the sixteen available effect slots. And when you want to change the order of the effects, just drag'n'drop.
Acoustic guitars can be created by altering the size and material used for the guitar-body.
There are also new playing-aids, two new string-types, two new amplifiers and two new cabinets.
The interface graphics have been revamped as well.
Supplied as a bonus plug-in is the effects-only version of Slayer2. With its own virtual amplifiers and effect pedals, you can even use Slayer2 on your own guitar. Play your guitar live, and Slayer2 will mangle, smash and contort it to meet your needs.
Slayer2 costs 89,99 EUR/US$ and is available as a VST plug-in for PC and Mac (OS9 and OSX). Customers who bought the first version of Slayer will be able to upgrade to Slayer2 for the difference in pricing: 30 EUR/US$.
