SONIC EMPIRE (V1.

McRocklin Suite
McRocklin was previously using a vast amount of hardware
and software to create his tones. It was a complex setup that
relied on over $3000 worth of software, multiple hardware
controllers, drive and compression pedals. Ultimately it became
unmanageable, there had to be a better way!

Thus the concept for the McRocklin Suite was born. The
McRocklin Suite is a selection of amplifiers and effect pedals,
tailored together to provide Production Ready Guitar Tones.

The suite features four uniquely voiced amplifiers, four stackable


distortion pedals, 21 fully produced speaker chains, seven effect
pedals and many more exciting features.

Please, read carefully both product specifications and system


requirements before purchasing any PolyChrome DSP product.
