MetalGuitarEQ
Built to solve common modern metal guitar problems: flubby palm mutes, low-end bloom, mud, fizz, and harshness from amp sim tones that sound exciting alone but do not sit in the full mix.
Make metal guitars sit faster.
Splinter Audio builds focused plugins for heavy guitar production. Our first product, MetalGuitarEQ, is a coming-soon EQ tool for tightening amp sim guitars, controlling mud, and smoothing harsh top end without slowing down the mix.

MetalGuitarEQ is the plugin Splinter Audio is building now.
This site is focused on the real commercial product currently in development: a direct, metal-specific EQ workflow for guitar tones that need to sit in a dense mix.
- Focused EQ workflow for modern metal rhythm guitars
- Controls aimed at bloom, mud, harshness, and mix placement
- Designed for amp sim users, guitarists, producers, and mixers
- Built as a commercial audio plugin by Pineware Oy
Focused on the parts of the tone that fight back.
MetalGuitarEQ is being designed for practical mix decisions, not generic tone browsing. The goal is a faster path from exciting guitar sound to usable record-ready part.
Tighten low-end bloom
Reduce the flubby build-up that makes palm mutes fight the kick and bass while keeping the weight of the guitar performance.
Clear mud faster
Move amp sim guitars out of the way of the rest of the mix without starting from a blank parametric EQ every time.
Smooth harsh bite
Control fizz and sharpness so distorted guitars stay aggressive without becoming painful or disconnected from the track.
