Cathedral-scale tails that swallow a breakdown whole.

- stays clean in the low-mids
- Cons
- CPU-hungry on the longest impulses
- no tempo-synced decay
- format
- VST3/AU
- daw
- Logic, Reaper
Reverb on metal usually turns to mud. Monolith doesn't — the tails sit behind the wall of guitar instead of smearing across it, and the stock impulse responses already understand high-gain tone. Drop a breakdown into one of the big halls and it sounds like the room is collapsing.
