Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium (PRWEB) October 14, 2008 -- Image Line Software, the developer of FL Studio, introduces to the market a collection of guitar effects called 'Hardcore'. Available for both Mac and PC users, Hardcore gives virtual access to 10 popular stomp-box style effects, each with a unique sonic character.

"When I started Hardcore the idea was to fill the 'distortion' guitar plugin gap in the Image Line FX suite, but it turned into a much bigger and exciting project" noted the developer of Hardcore, Maxx Claster. It seems that once Maxx had created one guitar plugin, it was difficult for him to stop. Maxx Claster is well known to Image Line customers for the synths Morphine, PoiZone and Toxic.
