reaper suite
Six Channels. Six Eras. One Platform.
ReaperSuite is a complete multi-channel amp suite built around faithful recreations of six iconic melodic death metal guitar tones that defined an era — instantly recognisable to those who know.
Reaperboost - 1k
A legendary tone—reimagined for modern production.
For years, this tone was locked inside the guitar itself—only accessible through hardware modification, with little room to adapt or refine.
ReaperBoost - 1K brings that sound into your DAW for the first time—faithfully recreated, with the freedom to shape, tweak and refine it in ways that were never possible before.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Controls the amount of gain introduced by the circuit.
Just like the original hardware, this defines the core drive and intensity of the tone.
A modern addition—something the original always needed.
Peak controls the intensity and character of the EQ effect, allowing you to move from narrow and aggressive to broader, more musical shaping.
The missing piece.
Output gives you full control over your gain staging, ensuring the signal hits your amp or plugin chain exactly how you want it—without compromise.
Redesigned for clarity and control.
This parameter lets you precisely position the resonant peak that defines the tone—replacing the limitations of mini dip switches with a smooth, intuitive control.
The marked position captures a familiar, instantly recognizable character—while allowing you to explore beyond it.

REAPERSUITE
Six eras of Finnish melodic metal—brought into one platform.
ReaperSuite is built around a ground-up approach to capturing tone—recreating the character, response, and feel of six distinct stages in the evolution of a defining guitar sound.ReaperSuite isn’t based on approximations or generic models.

Dial them to your guitar, your tuning, and your mix.
Push beyond what was possible before—without losing what made them iconic.
