Ample Metal Eclipse III is a virtual instrument from the “Ample Metal” series, tailored for metal and hard rock production. It lets you perform the iconic ESP Eclipse I guitar right from your computer with remarkable control and realism. Each string was tuned one whole step down and meticulously sampled across all frets—from fret 0 to fret 22—to ensure a consistent and authentic sound across the full range. The plugin includes all the essential articulations for expressive guitar playing, such as sustain, natural harmonics, palm mutes, legato slides, and hammer-ons/pull-offs. All samples were recorded as dry, unprocessed audio, giving you a clean, natural base to shape your tone as needed.
