Great SLASH TONES from Amplitube 5 MAX

[@TheLambLive]

Amplitube 5 is my weapon of choice for streaming right now. The amp mic'ing section, with it's positioning and room mics, has always been the most real sounding out of all the vst modellers to my ears.. however even fully expanded it still lack a few of the more sophisticated and varied pedal options that Helix Native carries, for example.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Good to know bro thx

[@stealthstalker812]

Ever tried neural DSP?

[@DragonboltBlastter]

6:40 Lol, I got the REAL thing

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Cool

[@trevlocke1962]

Amazing how better software is these days and audio interfaces, no lag to speak of which always put me off, i have Guitar Rigg 5 and Overloud THX both running through a Focusrite 212i 2nd gen, sounds fantastic, but so many parameters to change the sound!!! Think you need a science degree to use them to their full potentional !! :-) Great playing as always Mike

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Cheers brother. I'm using my 2i2 as well. Using the focusrite asio driver there is no noticeable latency. Cheers mate

[@Emulator_Crossing]

well, you already got a gibson, but can you get a good slash sound with other guitar like fender?

[@Riley55126]

Great video man just got mine, this program is mind blowing

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

I'm really enjoying it too

Yrs ago these were noisy but listening to this ..hells bells ..cosmic !!

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

I can't fault it. It has no more noise than the apps it simulates and a nose gate in front works just the same. It's great

[@bluesplayer59]

@@Chinaguitarsceptic Going back 10 yr i had Guitar rig and Amplitude . I remember them both been a bit noisy on the higher gain settings so i wasnt 100% convinced . It certainly sounds like things have gotten a lot lot better .

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

It sounds just like the real deal so you do still need a gate. It's the same with my axe fxiii. These modeller units really do model everything about a real amp and set up. It's crazy accurate these days.

[@randyrowell8048]

Hi CGS. Great playing and information. I'm coming back to your channel (and the land of the living really) from just a dreadful period. My drummer took his own life after being bandmates, and more importantly friends, for 23 years and I've had a really hard time coping. Anything music related has been especially difficult. Not to be a downer though because I'm learning that you don't necessarily get over it but you do get through it. This video on Amplitude 5 MAX is awesome. I've always enjoyed your channel and it has just gotten better. Everything is top shelf. I'm catching up and looking forward to seeing what I've missed. I hope you're well and have a great weekend.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Brother firstly a huge welcome back. I'm so sorry to hear your terrible news and sending you positive vibes to find ways to ease your pain and cope with such a loss. It's so hard to get to grips with the feeling that you had no opportunity to step in and help. That's one of the worst things for those of us left behind. My buddy jumped from a bridge onto the train tracks 30 years ago and I still deal with it. It does sink in to normality eventually but never completely goes so I feel your pain brother. It feels less raw with time. 🙏

[@randyrowell8048]

@@Chinaguitarsceptic Thank you so much for the kind words. You've always had such a positive sight and I really appreciate that. You are playing better than ever. I've just watched one of your videos on Harley Benton guitars and they are gorgeous and sound fantastic. Your work is very much appreciated.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Thanks so much bro

[@robfrasier9412]

Just watched this. Great tones and review. Thanks! What output do you use with Amplitude 5? Meaning...do you use studio monitors, a PA speaker or a cabinet. I'm setting up something for home use but want a robust sound. Thanks!

[@terrytickler]

Awesome vid

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Cheers bro

[@jcoulter43]

Always wanted to give one of these a try after seeing/hearing Steve from Boston use software amp models. Amplitube 5 Max right now is $524 on Amazon 😱 A little rich for my pocketbook right now. Great video as always Mike and Happy Easter. God bless and rock on my friend 🎸😎👍

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Yes it's not the cheapest for the full suite but you can get started for free buddy

[@perothing]

$444 at Thomann including the interface AXE I/O.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

But in the UK well pay silly ups import charges on top.

hi i have the app on my pc and guitar but i cant have the sound out of my yamaha hs8 speakers i do have a mulitimix 8 mixer

[@pleasca2000]

Thank you for this review CGS! Quick question, did you happen to have any issues with very boomy bass sound on the 5th and 6th strings ?

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

A little actually.

[@srfrodoxd]

Yesterday i just made what i think it is pretty close to clapton's woman tone using amplitube 5 which is mind blowing for me

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Wow awesome! Do you want to share buddy?

[@srfrodoxd]

I was using the satch vm amp with bass on 0 middle and treble on 10 using the crunch channel, a mid gain overdrive pedal and stock speakers on it, tried green backs but sounded little less accurate to what i was trying to achieve, rest of it is just matter of keep messing with the mic positions and stuff and of course the guitar tone knobs must be on 0

[@rossman265]

CGS what speakers are you using?

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

These are direct tones from Amplitube but the cabs on that are the slash marshall 4x12

[@rossman265]

Sorry, but you do not use studio speakers?

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Yes I've used the same technics speakers for years.

[@dutchastral]

i have this problem with amplitube 5 its that some of these presets have so much loud static in the background, how do i fix that?

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Use the nose gate buddy

[@zidanez2011]

what speakers did u use?

[@joshuasydnee]

What interface and monitors do you use please?

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Focusrite 2i2 and this recording is direct not through monitors.

@@Chinaguitarsceptic So how are we hearing sound? I’m not too familiar with audio. 👍

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

@@joshuasydnee I plug the guitar into the 2i2 and then the computer does the rest including the recording direct to digital

hi buddy..could it be possible to use this with my spark?..i use ro be a die hard tube nut but the spark has enlightened me..if it had a loop facility or an effects loop the spark would be untouchable..i dont know if youve tried one yet.but im a total convert..anyway..keep rockin..thanks

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Cheers mate. I'm sure it might be able to be hooked up to the spark as a speaker but you'd need to connect a pc.

[@Bbh4535]

Great video! I own amplitube 5 and was utterly impressed with there stock plugins and yes it sounds like they have really knocked it out of the park. My main guitar rig anymore is amplitube.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

Awesome mate. I'm loving the tones and realism. I think it's because they work so closely with the original amp manufacturers.

[@weegar_he]

why my amp5 sound like the sound come slower than i really do abd 0.5s

@@Chinaguitarsceptic I have a focus rite interface (probably the cheapest one) and a $200 dollar pair of guitar center monitors. I don't want to record but just to have a place to jam without buying 100 pieces of physical gear. I even bought the Slash pack but it sounds nothing like yours.

[@Patzolino]

Sorry, but I have to dislike this video. I was considering buying Amplitube and wanted to hear what this produces in terms of sound that is as closest as possible to Slash's tune. In order to achieve that I wanted to hear the familiar melodies and riffs so I can actually compare the tones. So listening to your improvisation didn't do the job for me. Sorry.

[@Chinaguitarsceptic]

That's cool mate. Unfortunately if I copied slash riffs my video would likely get taken down by KZbin
