Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has teamed with STL tones to deliver a new amp and effects plugin, Tonality: Wes Borland.
The new software suite recreates amps and pedals from Borlands’ own touring rig, allowing players to harness his classic nu metal sounds from home.

“Developed in collaboration with Wes Borland, this signature guitar plugin suite accurately captures the sonic and visual anarchy that Wes has become so distinctly renowned for,” the company states.
“Using the most advanced hardware modelling algorithms, STL’s software uses internal circuit tracing from the schematics of the amplifiers Wes uses playing live and in the studio, as well as his favourite overdrive pedals, effects, and personal guitar cabinets.”

Tonality: Wes Borland features three amps. First, the Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, is a mainstay of Borland’s touring rig used for his clean tone. There’s also the Diezel VH4, a versatile and heavy amp that was employed by many nu metal giants in the early noughties. Finally comes the Selmer Zodiac 50 MKII Tremolo, which Borland has for his edge-of-breakup tone.
Five of Borland’s pedals have also been incorporated into the plugin. The Mini Filter draws from the Electro-Harmonix Mini Q-Tron, which the guitarist uses for a wah-wah effect. The Big Wezz is inspired by the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal, while Borland Delay comes from the Dunlop Echoplex delay pedal. Lastly there’s the WB7 Chorus/Flanger, which marketing materials say “is capable of warm, vintage choral tones to morphing flange sounds”, and the Digital Delay WB-8, based on Borland’s BOSS DD-8 delay effect.
STL Tones says it studied Borland’s rig meticulously to make the new plugin. The company measured each amplifier in his live setup using five microphones in 156 different positions.
The Tonality: Wes Borland is the sixth entry in the Tonality series. STIL have previously made Tonality plugins based on the styles of Will Putney (Fit for an Autopsy/End/Better Lovers), Josh Middleton (Sylosis/ex-Architects), Andy James (Five Finger Death Punch), and producers extraordinaire Howard Benson (Halestorm/In Flames/My Chemical Romance) and Lasse Lammert (Alestorm/Gloryhammer).
