Move Over Neural DSP… This Amp Sim is Brutal | Tone Suite Distant by WaveMind!


Is this not the heaviest amp sim you’ve heard yet?

Is WaveMind’s Tone Suite Distant the heaviest guitar amp sim of 2025? I put it to the test with a full demo and guitar tone breakdown, dialing in crushing metal tones for riffs, chugs, and leads. If you’re into modern metal, deathcore, or djent, this plugin might just replace your go-to amp sim. Watch as I explore every feature this VST has to offer — from amp voicing to cab IRs — and find out if it really stacks up against heavyweights like Neural DSP or STL Tones.

The Tone Suite – Distant by Wavemind is an incredibly versatile high-gain amp sim (that also does clean tones remarkably well) that has gain on tap for DAYS. Each amp in Distant has its own unique characteristics concerning gain structure, texture, and flavor, and each of the accompanying cabs cater to this extremely well. Let me know what plugin from Wavemind you want to see me demo next!

  • I think that we should stop with this "HeAViESt pLuGIn" thing. We already had Archetype Gojira or the "II II II II" for example and it's getting redundant. To me this plugin stands out because of the pre-eq pedal as well as the insane illustrations. And the core amps sound great, for sure. Not sure about the effects, but that's just my taste. Anyways. Thanx for the great video and nice playing! Cheers. 🙂
