An Extreme Metal Toolbox
The MLC S_Zero 93 is built for high-gain precision. With three distinct channels, this amp plugin covers everything from pristine cleans to brutal distortion while keeping string clarity intact.
Channel 1 delivers a thick and lush clean tone, ideal for adding effects or creating atmospheric soundscapes. Channel 2 brings an organic, gnarly gain structure with excellent note definition, perfect for aggressive but clear riffs. Channel 3 takes it further, tightening and refining the distortion for maximum attack and articulation. Whether you need raw chaos or razor-sharp precision, the S_Zero 93 delivers.
Get Your Pedal Fix
This boutique guitar amplifier plugin comes loaded with essential metal-focused pedals to push your sound even further. The Fascination Street Octave pedal adds dual-octave processing with intelligent pitch detection, unlocking extreme low-end power and creative sound design. The MLC Brown Sugar pedal offers four distinct overdrive modes, changing the clipping characteristics of the Class A preamp to shape your tone precisely. For even more crushing gain, the Fascination Street OVD-2 builds on the studio-classic OVD-1, giving you additional distortion options straight from Jens Bogren’s personal collection.
More Than IRs
The cabinet and microphone setup are crucial to your tone, and the MLC S_Zero 93 gives you complete control over both. Adjust mic distance, position, and angle with intuitive controls, or mix between two cabs for unique tonal combinations. Designed by Jens Bogren, the included cabs are carefully selected for optimal sound, but if you want more flexibility, you can load your own impulse responses into two speaker slots. If you’d rather get straight to playing, simply choose from a range of expertly crafted presets to jump into the perfect sound instantly.
A classic Studio EQ
Shape your final tone with a faithfully modelled analog studio EQ. This classic equalizer is widely used in high-end studios to refine and sculpt guitar tones, offering an easy-to-use interface with carefully selected frequency bands that fit perfectly in a mix.
Add Some Space
The MLC S_Zero 93 includes two essential studio-quality effects for adding depth and atmosphere. The Fascination Street Delay brings warm, colourful analog delay with a stereo Ping Pong mode for immersive soundscapes. The Fascination Street Reverb drenches your tone in rich ambience, with Lo and Hi Cut controls to shape the reverb tail for a perfect mix. Whether you need a subtle touch of space or a huge, atmospheric wash, these effects let you craft your ideal sound.
Iconic artist presets
Not sure where to start? The MLC S_Zero 93 includes expertly crafted presets from some of metal’s most iconic artists. Get instant access to tones designed by members of Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Emperor, Mayhem, Napalm Death, Enslaved, and more. These presets give you a professional starting point for your sound while also helping you understand how the pros build their tones. Whether you want to replicate legendary metal tones or tweak them to make them your own, these presets provide a solid foundation.
The future of speaker modelling with IRDX technology
The MLC S_Zero 93 plugin utilizes IRDX (Impulse Response Dynamix) technology, which takes speaker modelling to the next level. Developed by producer Jens Bogren, this advanced technology adds dynamic and true-to-life speaker behavior to static impulse responses. While impulse responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet, they lack dynamics. IRDX technology bridges this gap by simulating the natural reaction of real-life guitar speakers to the input from the amplifier. The end result is an amp simulator that reacts like a real amp, seamlessly fits into any mix without sounding stale, and feels great to play through.
Additional tools for creativity and practice
The MLC S_Zero 93 plugin goes beyond just an amp simulation. It includes built-in recording functionality in the standalone version, allowing you to capture your ideas quickly and effortlessly without even starting a DAW. Say goodbye to losing those golden riffs! Plus, it features a built-in metronome to help you stay sharp with your guitar playing skills. Whether you're changing the meter, adjusting accents, or setting automatic speed increments, this metronome ensures you can focus on practicing without taking your hands off the guitar. And with the excellent built-in tuner, you're always ready to jam!

About Silenoz
Sven Atle Kopperud (aka Silenoz) is the guitarist for the symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, and Insidious Disease. Conceived in the heart of the Norwegian black metal scene in 1993, Dimmu Borgir quickly broke free from the boundaries of the genre, daring to combine a traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. Silenoz is the creative force behind the guitar sounds for Dimmu Borgir and his signature MLC amplifier is the key to his progressive sound.
