Speaking of recto plugs I like, AmpSuite RevF is the king for me. Especially on how dirty and broken things get when pushing the master. There's a lot of amazing rectoish plugs though. Mcuriall and Vtar both have some different and equally usable tones. Even the Kuassa Rectifor is solid when pushed with the right boost and IR. Truesim is free and still sounds great, but CPU might be a thing to watch for when doing big projects. These days, it's hard to find things that flatout suck. lol My fave plugins vary year to year. If/when Kazrog does a recto that'll probably be in heavy rotation for a long time.

Hyped up on Protone madness!!!!!! It's good that Wavemind did these pedals. If you're gonna do 1:1 / licensed stuff, WM is one of the few devs I'd trust Agree on OD pedals and settings. Like anything, it's dependent on the amp and guitar and tone you want. I like a bit of drive before the am. Can help thicken up the dist and whatever. Good stuff. Looking forward to the prerecorded demos and such. You've been teasing that for a while brotha :P I always enjoy reading whatever the new plugin advert says. "Real dynamics, clear and punchy tones! AI learning this, AI learning that, nonlinearity and overtones in the sunlight." I want more minimal amp-only or pedal-only plugins. Focus on the circuits, we can handle boost and cabinets. I do understand the awesomeness of a good suite though. At the end of the day it's nitpicking. Signature plugins get treated like any other plugin when I play them. If they suck, they suck regardless of whoever's name is on the product. It goes back to the main thing: If it works for ya, use it.

Hi! I like your plugins! There is a problem with the sound, only a clear channel is heard, overload and gain are not working .I change the amplifiers, but the sound does not change, the other sections are working properly. What should I do? The Steinberg UR 22 sound card.

I would contact the developer that made the plugin and they will surely help you through some of your technical problems. Sometimes there's a learning curve with this stuff that can seem very frustrating but in reality it might just be one small thing (it usually is). You will get it figured, most companies have great support.

With you on not traveling. It's a pain. I know people who really dig it but I'm not one of 'em. Sure getting to see different areas and people is awesome but the actual flying and the stress it entails .... nah :D The MLC stuff from Bogren is pretty good. Had the OG plug but had to snag that Ampknob ersion since it was free at the time. Still having some drops on the oice/guitar in the stream. Nothing major but it's still doing it. Music remains stable. Yup it's crazy money to go anywhere now lol. Flew across the country back in Sep and still feelin the smoldering pocketbook from that lil adventure. Was still fun though. I don't like the Nameless. The mids and sorta stringiness doesn't vibe with Blackout pops. The Nts or Grano works better in my situation. Or it did at least. Moving away from that stuff and playing with other sims these days
@theampsimuniverse29 күн бұрын
All fair points! Nameless is a very nice one trick pony and I would never use it one two tracks of the same recording. I love to run it on one side with a darker IR and the presence way back. Then on the other side, I will use something more scooped and beefy with the beef rolled back a bit.

I really wanted to keep and love Two Notes Genome as my go to guitar plugin (I am French 😂) but at the end NAM universal has won. For me it has the best Workflow when it comes to load two profiles (Pedal + amp). It is easy to adjust the input level at all modules to respect the dBu criteria which Genome doesn’t allow. In Codex there is only a gain with 6db range (and one global input). The IR loader and stereo functionality are well thought. I tried them all, NAM universal is the one. We can argue that the GUI is not fully optimised, the lack of some features here and there but in my opinion NAM Universal is today the best guitar plugin by far ahead of paying ones.

Digging the Diezel tones and rambling fun. There's a Vh2 pack somewhere for NAM and it's gnarly with a grind boost. ALSO does good with crunch with lower gain captures. I'd love another Jackson, I have a Monarch 6 and go back and forth on changing the bridge pup. It's a little sharp, which is cool but could use more lows/body of the instrument. I've been getting by with pre-EQ and such but I like to have the best tone going in first, so thinking about that Deactivator. Used to run that in a shitty Epiphone Jr axe and loved it. Slap huge gauge strings on adjust action and start hammering on it. Have you tried the Audiority British Tanks stuff? The Overseer is a good Governer sim. Clown Core is so badass.

Good streamsky. I hear you about the bouncing ball thrash thing. I'm all for unique vocal patterns. Gotta keep it interestin'. :D cheers That new Quantum speaker thing is pretty fun, i picked up the V30 and OG greenback packs and they're fun. Not gonna change my workflow ATM though. To set up a multi-mic situation it's kinda heavy on CPU. That's assuming a fairly heavy NAM setup already with a pedal capture and amp capture, + at least two of these speaker profiles. I quad track probably 80% of what I do, so that's just not an option. lol. Well, not in realtime anyway. I'd have to make stems of the tracks, or track with an IR and then use the speaker profiles when mixing.

awesome! Looking forward to the NAMU v1 and v2 updates. And Spark is still one of my favorite Marshall sims ever. I have been loving NAMU though. There's so much great shit out there and more being made all the time. When you have a chance and wanna fiddle with some profiles not in the NAMU bundle, the 2dor stuff is top tier. His Ceriatone captures are dope and pair perfectly with a Fortin Grind or the Sword boosting it. CRUSHING!! I've been getting more into the Nalex stuffalso. Truesim to be specific. once I get more familiar with the circuit designing I plan on doing a few modded rock/metal sounds for it. Bit heavy on CPU but it's still loads of fun jamming through. Cheers PS: Artists for Marshall. No idea really, but if they got John Petrucci over there.......... now that would be something! lol. On a different note, I'm hoping for more small builders to get some plugs developed properly. Stuff like Ceriatone and Garland Amps would be fantastic. Modded Plexis with their own take on it. There's also a depressing lack of Driftwoods and Dover stuff . A Dover 50 sim would rock. That said there's so much to explore already. I am working on my latest album with mostly free sims but some paid IR's in there, stuff I've had forever and never used earnestly. Speakers has been my main longterm exploration. If you want something different than the usual Ega 412 you gotta try the LCFR150 speaker. Audio assault has a couple IR packs with modern speakers and they're a lotta fun. cheers

The Randall protube, all the Arlington and Amil Rhobe stuff, etc etc. Plus I have like 300mb of some other stuff i've collected over the past year and pretty much just keep finding good tones. Much, much easier to immerse myself in the tone hunt (see what I did there) using Namu vs the OG plugin. Cheers man! ps: I like the Instigator with some captures that need a little bit of snarl on the top end for the fluffier darker profiles, EG a blockletter 5150.

All the tones seem to be drop tuned metal oriented. Does it do "Classic Rock" tones? Think 1950's through about 2000? Possibly hair band and EVH type tones? Zep, Rush, U2, Beatles, Stones. etc. ? Seems like most digital amp sims are fantastic for hyper distorted tones common in newer metal, but the classic tones seem harder to reach.
@theampsimuniverse3 ай бұрын
Yes, in the introductory stream, I kept things close to home with the guitar and tones I am most fond of personally. Are you familiar with NAM - The Neural Amp Modeler? There are captures / profiles for gear from every era and for every style. NAM-Universal is simply a way to use those captures in a way that sounds better than the traditional NAM player. In the pack we have included with the plugin, there are captures for all styles of guitar available from 67 plexis to old bassmans and a lot more. Then outside of the pack, you can head to Tonehunt to pick up captures for any piece of gear that looks interesting. I will be demoing the more rock side of the plugin in a stream coming shortly.

Plus it's thiccccc The Mercuriall 6160III is IMO one of the best 5150 III and stealth ampsims out there. The Gojira is fine but see my prior point. I'm all for a 6 hours of chugs and herbal laced conversations about gear and metal. haha. Still having glitches, even in the replay. So something's kinda janky ever since the Thrashin' stream. STL sounds good. Gotta eventually try that. Agree on PG Bias. What a pile of dogshite. Plastic sounding models, aliasing at high freqs, just sounds like credit cards burning because it's really not worth their asking price. Anyone with a tone ear would be better off with old freebies or NAM profiles with some old Sneap forum IR's and be happy (probably) over Bias.

Set everything but the posts to 7, then fiddle with things between 6-7 as you fine tune things. Truth, if you use those settings with a sim based on one of those amps and it sounds whack, it's a poorly design sim imho. Kazrog Ampcraft is my personal all-time favourite.

That's not my usual bag but I'm gonna give it more time. Seems to like 7 strings/low tuning with actives vs a 6 string passive in standard. I've found that a nice Boss Sd-1 boosting the amp can give a more thrashy character. The builtin boost is fine though.

The preset hunting and only using presets makes me so mad. , yo you spent 120 or whatever on the new NDSP plugin, only using presets? Waste of money. Gotta get in there and learn how the amp works, come up with your own tones. Same with people scared of building a multi-plugin chain for their tone. If companies spent half the time on presets and only supplied about six super great ones, people would get it and things might sound less boring. Ah well. lol. That's my soapbox for today. Presets do make a good learning tool if there's lotsa controls for the plugin though, true indeed. I used to make more presets for plugs but lately I'm testing so much stuff I just don't. Gotta get back into that. I think when I bought Magix Vandal back in 2013 I made upwards of 50 or so presets. Just my own use, not sharing them. lol. It was a fun plugin at the time.
