AMH (Ample Metal Hellrazer) Free Download

AMH (Ample Metal Hellrazer) is a free download that gives you a nine-string Schecter Hellraiser guitar inside your DAW, solving the need for extended-range metal guitar tones without the physical instrument. It’s built specifically for producing heavy genres where tuning down to B-1 is essential.

Core Guitar & Playability

You get the sampled sound of a Schecter Hellraiser nine-string, with a tuning of #C, #F, B, E, A, D, G, B, E and drop tuning support. It includes 10 articulations like Sustain, Palm Mute, Natural Harmonic, and Pinch Harmonic. The engine features Polyphonic Legato and a Slide Smoother for realistic transitions, plus authentic left-hand performance noises.

The Riffer 4 MIDI editor is central, offering two ways to work: Piano Roll view and Guitar Tab view, with real-time switching between them. The String Visualization System within the Piano Roll automatically prevents polyphony errors on the same guitar string. For editing, you have an intuitive system for techniques, plus MIDI CC and Velocity Editors with multiple CC lanes and one-click CC curve presets.

Riffs, Strumming & File Import

A large library of hundreds of riffs is included, with MIDI drag-and-drop support. The Strummer has two chord modes, custom chord definition, and a Strum SEQ for programming any strum rhythm and speed. A separate rhythm library also supports MIDI drag-and-drop.

The Tab Reader 4 supports importing Guitar Pro files from GP3 to GP8. It converts entire tracks into the Riffer editor, retaining all fingering, articulations, and performance data from the original file.

Amp & Effects Section

The built-in AMP Simulator provides 7 classic amp heads, including Metal Double, Metal Treble, and Lead 800. You can pair them with 8 different guitar cabinets, each captured with 8 microphones. Built-in effects include an 8-band EQ, Compressor, Delay, and a Convolution Reverb.

Who Should Use It

This fits producers working on Metalcore, Progressive Metal, or Djent who need a convincing nine-string sound with deep tuning. It’s particularly useful if you program guitar parts and want the flexibility of both Piano Roll and Tab views, or if you regularly import and adapt Guitar Pro tabs into your projects, as the Tab Reader preserves all the performance details.

Summary

If your goal is to produce nine-string metal guitar parts entirely in-the-box, this gives you the specific sounds and low-tuned capability in a 5.8 GB instrument. The dual editing views and Guitar Pro import are strong workflow features for MIDI programming. Just note it requires 64-bit Windows 7 or later, or macOS, and it won’t open tab files created by unofficial third-party software. For a fresh air plugin in heavy metal production, this free download covers the ground a physical nine-string would.
