Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3 Legacy $119
Shreddage was one of the first metal guitar instruments and has now become a brand in itself, spawning several titles including fretless, 8-string and blues versions. This is the original, now at v3, and features 45 tones, over a dozen articulations, and an overall thick, heavy and brutal metal tone. The original is best.

Vir2 Electri6ity $399
Vir2’s instruments aren’t cheap, but as with the Acou6tics, Electrici6ity covers a lot. You get eight guitars (including a Strat, Tele, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Gibson ES-335, and Music Man L4) and 24,000 samples of them covering three pickup positions and many articulations. The best part is the performance mode that puts a lot of this within very easy reach. Superb, if pricey.
