Joey Sturgis Tones - Toneforge Disruptor

Cazares and Joey Sturgis have been pioneers in the use of digital modeling technology to create guitar tones that were previously unattainable. Cazares is a founding member of Fear Factory and has been using digital amp modeling and extended-range guitars since the 1990s. His work has inspired many metal and rock artists to add extended-range guitars to their sound, leading to some of the most innovative tones of the last 30 years. Sturgis, a producer and engineer, has also contributed to the use of technology in guitar tone and has worked with bands such as Asking Alexandria and Of Mice & Men. Together, their influence continues to shape the sound of modern metal and rock music. The Sound JST embarked on a mission to design a next gen virtual guitar rig that boasts a unique set of features unparalleled by any other amp sims currently available on the market. But this is so much more than an amp sim.Toneforge Disruptor was born from our collaboration with Dino and gave way to three incredible amp models, an all-new cab room with virtual microphone positioning, and a completely customizable drag-and-drop pedalboard. The various amps and tones found in Disruptor are built using a combination of white box, black box, and neural network modeling methods to achieve accurate recreations of various tones from Dino’s career.That being said, the true power of Toneforge Disruptor comes from the flexibility found around the traditional signal chain.
