JOSH MIDDLETON PLUGIN - METAL

[@krisania96]

There is a "lock" botton at the routing to keep it mono/stereo i guess. :D it's literally next to it

[@OlaEnglund]

Bruh… 🫣

[@DudeMcGuybro]

@@OlaEnglund I spent 30 minutes yelling at a plugin for having input lag only to realize I was on Windows audio and not ASIO. Even emailed support and everything. Sometimes.... sometimes we just bass player...

I'd love to see a coffee with Ola ft. Josh. What a riff god

[@marendone]

I second this !!!

[@L3viathan1]

Can't agree more 🤘

[@Faustks]

Yes, Yes, Yes!

[@ems92]

Agree 🤘🏻

[@monsterk7603]

I concur. That would be a must see!

[@lordmorgoth7]

Glad Josh is getting more and more recognition, he's a fantastic musician

[@brodyforet]

Definitely one of my top 3 guitarists of all time, dude is a beast

[@Riffs4Serotonin]

Nice pic. Witcher rules

[@js32t88]

Glad Ola did this video. Sylosis is such an underrated band.

[@DjediVibrations]

I started playing at a pro level recently after years of playing bass Josh was one of the guys I rediscovered and Sylosis really is truly unappreciated

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

Agreed. IMHO, they should get the same level of accolade as a band like Lamb Of God.

[@AiiZStudio]

Sylosis is one of the greatest bands right now!

[@BQNER-]

Do they still perform their old stuff live? I saw them back in 2009 and seeing them play Casting Shadows live was amazing.

[@AiiZStudio]

@@BQNER- good question!

[@mikeomaly]

Love seeing Josh get some love! Would love to see his signature LTD on here!

[@chasinglatitudes1424]

One thing nobody has stated while doing videos on this plug in. Is what tuning they are playing in. I have found I don’t really care for it in standard tuning. But as you go down in turning it does start to really shine.

[@Mad7H]

That post-fx section looks sick! I was amazed when I saw the studio-grade EQ with adjustable Q. That aside, the plugin sounds incredible! Might have to try this one out🤘

[@QuentinDamour]

I absolutely LOVE this natural finish on the X

[@hagenwoods]

Your demos are the best ... MORE THAN EVER;)

[@Stig69]

Josh Middleton always has great tones. Like good enough to where he could probably make a living from just that aspect of it. But then he's also great at songwriting and shredding, too. I even wanna say he did some of their album art. Top-tier inspiration.

[@blasher4]

Hey, Ola! Just wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU for your content. As I do work early in the mornings...this makes me an 'early bird' on my days off. That being said, I live in the US and since you post your content early, its a god-send! Thanks Ola. You're the best. Please continue!

[@MrDreamsAlot]

All of josh middletons knowledge from his years of experience just readily available to use at our leisure.

[@detachedloop1004]

Tonality plugins were ahead of their time. I remember the Howard Benson suite. It still sounds so amazing

[@joeyskar]

Speaking of under rated amps I recently got my Mesa Single Rect-O-Verb 1st gen 50 watt head back after it was at a friend's house for years and I really think that amp delivers THE perfect lead tone. It's freaking crazy how almost nobody talks about that amp.

[@mtus647]

Sounds great! On a side note, looks like the Mono/Stereo routing can be locked between presets with the lock button besides the routing menu.

[@drabbster]

I think the little lock-icon next to the mono/stereo-config is what you were looking for when referring to that "bug" :D

[@TheGuitarWorkout]

Sylosis sounds so heavy while being tuned to E, that says a lot about Josh's tone. I thought I didn't need any amp sim since I got Fortin Nameless, but I got to try this one out !

[@vicenzor3625]

I never understood why my wife wanted to damn many shoes until I got a guitar plugin

[@I-HAVE-A-BOMB]

A lot of making E standard sound so heavy is palm mute techniques and pick attack. You'll need an 11-49 or 10-52 set of strings to pull it off. Can do it with any amp or guitar. Also has alot to do with just your fingers, it's why Ola sounds exactly the same no matter what amp or plug-ins or pedals he uses.

[@qerzuk]

sylosis isn't tuned to E for quiet a while know. They where D in der previous album and are in c# on the current one. Even josh realised that E standart is not peak heavyness.

[@QuincyKane]

Sounds great! I love Sylosis!

[@heatnationwpb]

I really like these tones! I think I'll be doing some shopping soon for sure. I also want to pick up Rabea's plug-in as well - it's just amazeballs. Plug-ins have gotten so damn good idk if I'll ever go back to physical amplifiers fr. So much more bang for the buck!

[@Rob78169]

Wow amazing!! Could you imagine what Jimi Hendrix would think about all this technology when he just had a Marshall, fuzz face, Wah and guitar!!

[@jeremygovernale898]

On the 5150 preset 4 and 5 have such a nice mid range bite. Also it's nice to see the XXX as a plugin now. I'm too lazy to set up mine so the plugin is sweet. I know how my guitar works with it so it's a breeze

[@Gizmo-st1ky]

Been waiting for your review my friend!! This plugin rocks! Josh is indeed a riff god!! Tasty and groovy riffs 🔥🔥🔥

[@juandiego1592]

Josh is a beast not only in riffs....he shreds the guitar as god 2

[@p4fizzle]

Just spent a couple of hours on it. It's amazing! Best Rectifier plugin I've used personally. The AMAZING part is you can select all the channels (Clean,Crunsh etc) on the same amp interface!!! The fact STL took his personal hardware and replicated it is just fantastic. So you genuinely have Josh Middleton's actual gear sound. It's also my first try on a Peavy XXX. I've always wanted to have a go on those EQ knobs as they're basically like a 3 band EQ. It's really decent. Are they "better" than amps in other STL or Nueral plugins? Maybe not, but the fact it's not just a generic sound AND the amp interface is basically the actual amp is brilliant. I will also say it's worth listening to what Josh says about paring the cabs and mics to get the best tones from it all. The EQ and the OD with the HPF and LPF take a bit of understanding. His ODs are based on the Maxon808 and the Tempest OD.

[@matthewmp111]

Is there a video where Josh talks about pairing the mics and cabs? I have the plugin and I'm really enjoying it.

[@djrenault]

i'm one of those guys using plugins live! i use archetype nolly in mainstage. logic sends midi control changes to mainstage to turn effects on/off from the click track. no amps on stage, we play with iems, and sound the same from gig to gig. it's great. no hooking up power to a floorboard modeller, can program tones from my daw, no tap-dancing, can control more than an fcb1010's buttons worth of effects (cover band.. use lots of different effects).

[@Riffs4Serotonin]

You know it's good when the presets are good

[@402creepingdeath]

Was hoping you would review this. I love it

[@joeylizotte7537]

Sounds good, but those "Standard E" Sylosis riffs that Josh is known for were all recorded with a "Gowin-modded" Marshall. He switched to the Peavey 6505+ once he tuned down a step.. but he also blended a Krankenstein with a lot of those newer riffs. It would just make more sense to have included a modded Marshall and Krankenstein.

[@zackmano]

Kick ass tones! 🤘🏼🔥 and that blending was sick

[@elgee]

Thanks for this, been looking at this and then see this video 👍🏻 I think my mind is made up now

[@eamonahern7495]

Straight away I love the tone

[@IStabz]

[@gorf101]

I am a fan of stl audio.. I use tonehub and will putney and I recently bought control hub. My production level has definitely increased due to these plugins

[@BlvckjvckRecordings]

The greatest crossover of all time.

[@FrancoisCantine]

We need a Coffe with Josh Middleton!

[@FallenStarz649]

This is my favorite plugin for cleans.

[@Maku_Blubb]

Hey Ola, thanks for that video. Sounds cool! Maybe you can hit the lock right to the mono/stereo type in the routing section.

[@bushidoflowmma]

STL Putney Tonality is my go to Rhythm plugin, chunk and mix ready. Then Gojira for leads. This sounds mix ready and solid!

[@UNGOLIATH-x4n]

For me his work on Sylosis is better than Architects by far far far 🔥 🔥🔥

[@Dlokey4315]

Love the show ,never a daul moment. 🤘😎🤘

[@MattheousOfficial]

There's a lock beside the routing option which would make it have the behaviour you wanted, I presume

[@chriseraphim]

Great review bro! Sounds badass.

[@oleksiistri8429]

I love Sylosis mostly for proggy soundwalls, probably i am in minority here :) But yeah, Josh is a riff god for sure! Ola. is there any Bass VSTi instrument that you like the most ?

[@crestfallen821]

No, you're not alone! I prefer EotE and Monolith a lot over the new more riffy and chuggy material

[@billhinsperger8120]

I got the stl tone hub it’s unreal best plug in on the market everyones pack is unreal sounds like a tube head

[@stuarttomlinson802]

what get me with plugins is that sometimes you can turn a knob on an eq/pedal/head and it just completely goes off the rails ! so id say out of 50 knobs to turn it will only make sense to turn them never ! i've noticed most of the good changes come from the cab sims - Talking about knobs, the stereo lock button is right bloody there mate, you been tickling it with your mouse for the last 10 minutes..

[@Niknoxious]

amazing

[@MetalRay88]

I could be completely wrong but i thought they tuned to standard D not E ?

[@AlexGuitarrr]

holy...this sound has some balls \m/

[@JanneOksanen]

You should check out the new McRocklin Suite by Polychrome DSP.

[@OlaEnglund]

I have :)

[@docsworld1369]

STL Amp Hub is awesome!!

[@modernroyaljams]

It is. I have just started using it for a bit of a change and wow! Very easy to get great tones.

[@mylogify]

Do you have to get the monthly subscriptions, or do you mean just the plugin?

[@modernroyaljams]

@@mylogify I bought the Amphub and used it for a few years because the poweramp is great with physical pedals run into it. Then last month I hit the subscription and was super happy with the amps and tones.

[@mylogify]

Soo cool guitar.

[@mylogify]

Yooo did I win the guitar

[@Jacklcf666]

thanks

[@Blackriff99]

The best plugin on the market in my opinion. Very little option paralysis and every preset has a place in various metal mixes. Really the only one that truly feels like a real amp and stands up against a Kemper, axe fx, etc. - The neural stuff is cool, but I can never really get it to sit right in a mix and feels slightly off.

[@zbigniewiksinski]

" @Blackriff99 1 godzinę temu The best plugin on the market in my opinion." literally every time new vst comes out

[@ractorstudios]

I agree, It blows everything else out of the water

[@p4fizzle]

@@zbigniewiksinski It does have some extra features which get overlooked. But unless you're a fan of Josh they may not appeal to you. The best thing is you dont have to load seperate "amp" models to get clean, crunch, high gain etc. You can actually switch channels within one amp interface. Which is pretty sick

[@broderickbethea9003]
