Make Your Guitar Tone POP! (feat. Fluff)

[@jacee8094]

The tone has a very “homesick” sound to it, those more scooped guitars have that sound. Love it

[@mlsoundlab]

Yessss. Holdin' It Down is of my all-time favourite guitar tones! 💪 -Kai

[@unheardvoice8775]

This kind of content is really helpful to improve our home recording knowledge! Thanks and cheers!

[@mlsoundlab]

So glad to have helped you out! -Kai

[@JWVLL]

You guys have the best sims IMO, thanks for that!

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you 💪 -Kai

[@namakugrace515]

Oh man your sound is amazing .. great Job ML SoundLab

[@pynnehkuparsyiemlieh]

How do i record this sim into a DAW

[@mlsoundlab]

Load it up as a plugin on your track, rather than loading the standalone software. Let us know if you have any trouble with it! -Kai

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Looks like you have the Black Box plugin on the guitar channels doing something as well. What settings do you use for that?

[@Gizmo-st1ky]

This is great! Roots is still one of my favorites! I’m just an ML sound lab fanboy! Amazing plugins and IRs! 🙌🏽

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you so much! -Kai

[@gideonhansen5485]

The SSL plugin is on sale for $19 on Sweetwater right meow.

[@mlsoundlab]

Great spot! Also on sale on the SSL site too. Thank you! -Kai

[@RkJohnsonNingthemcha]

sounds really good will have to try it out definitely

[@mlsoundlab]

Sure does! So happy that even the very first amp sim plugin we released gives people these tones. :)

[@mattvdh]

@@mlsoundlab well he's not using the free version

[@DadRockAndGuitars]

Sounds great! 👍 I was just using these two amps for double tracking on a song today.

[@mlsoundlab]

Such a great pairing, glad to hear they're working well for you! -Kai

[@OurWorldinChaos]

That sounded really really good. Very good audio engineering

[@mlsoundlab]

Fluff is truly wonderful at what he does. 😇 -Kai

[@OurWorldinChaos]

@@mlsoundlab He is to the mans a rocket scientist when it comes to the studio.

[@SilentScreamsStudios]

What is on the master track though??????

[@typhontyphonis3492]

I don't have a pedalboard, this Amp was a great gift for me. I've always wanted to play on an EVH 5150 III, but I don't have the money to buy one. I'm grateful that this program is free. I really liked the Amped Roots 5054 Fluff. I intend to buy the other Amps (5151, Freeman and Mega Fluff), at the moment I'm having fun with the Free Amp.🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you ever so much for dropping a comment - this is why we do what we do. So glad to hear you're having fun with it! -Kai

[@Leppits]

The saturator really does something I used to love/hate Pickups for. It gives the palm mutes more character and definition.

[@mlsoundlab]

Saturators add that little bit of secret sauce that make guitar tones extra awesome! -Kai

[@empinchen]

Also it's adding 3dB of gain to the guitars. Yeah, that'll help make it cut through the mix. Would love to hear it gain matched to hear what the saturation actually does.

[@Driven2Beats]

Could I use fabfilter Saturn instead to saturate ??

[@thovarisk8699]

i had this set to .75 speed by mistake and that made Fluff Drunk AF

[@EasyHeat]

Dude! Take me back to 1996 why don’t ya! Great riffage my dude!🤘

[@MC-og5ss]

You should have matched the input and output gain of the saturation plugin. Comparing pre and post saturation in a mix is worthless if you are adding gain during saturation.

[@barrysmith502]

Love the fat wreck chords Shirt.nofx and fat mike are my heros.

[@JimmyBackbeat]

Would any saturator do the trick or is it a very specific feature of that plugin?

[@blasher4]

Pretty cool man. I use an Axe-FX, but if I didn’t have one I would def. Try this out!

[@mlsoundlab]

Appreciate it, thank you! -Kai

[@mattvdh]

cool video...those are becoming the standard EQ cuts these days, they should just build in a Q filter directly into the amp sims to save you that extra step/processing

[@synastikki]

Built-in standards are bad because then everyone will just sound the same. It also depends veeery much on the chosen cab IR what you'll need to do with the EQ

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you for the feedback! It's definitely something we can consider going forward! -Kai

[@russpenn27]

KZbin compression helps

[@mr.phil.a]

The ML stuff is great

[@mlsoundlab]

Thanks for the support! 💪 -Kai

[@FEVERDREAM1983]

Sounds like Jimmy Eat World's version of Last Caress. Cheers.

[@RenanBEreanSound]

Great video guys. This process of having 2 different amps on each side could help the clarity for the mid information like kick bass snare vocals? thanks

[@mlsoundlab]

Definitely a case by case basis, but it's worth trying! -Kai

[@yoyoz333]

What was the band? It sounded like Lagwagon or No use for a name.

[@roytritsch6273]

Fluff, I was wondering what processing power would I need to run this plug-in. Just got v2 and man it really sucks the processing out of my rig. Using S1 Pro 4.5. AMD Ryzen 2700 32G Ram@ 2933 and on B350 Tomahawk. My other sims use way less processing.

[@mlsoundlab]

Hey Roy! Our plugin should be fairly similar to the rest of the industry in CPU usage, so if you're experiencing any wild CPU spikes it's worth playing about with your sample rate and buffer size to find one that Roots plays best with on your machine. These CPU spikes are something we're looking into at the minute though! Thanks, Kai

[@roytritsch6273]

@@mlsoundlab I really like this ROOTS 2. Sounds very good. Thanks for the hard efforts. I updated my cpu to Ryzen 7 3700x and gave me the ability to up my Ram frequencies to 3200. It helped some and yes, my sample rates do help somewhat. I'm really looking forward to using Roots2 on more than one track at a time while tracking. For now I am printing my tracks and hopefully will be able to find the right fitment in the overall mixes. Thank you.

[@strykerproductions3554]

Great sounding tones! The drums sound incredible as well. What drum plug in did you use here?

[@andy_182]

What signal chain did you use. Like does the saturator come before or after the amp/ir

[@nemonucliosis]

None if my VST plugins ever sound anywhere near what I hear on youtube.

[@mlsoundlab]

Sounds like something might be up with your signal chain - what interface are you using, and what are you monitoring with? -Kai

[@nemonucliosis]

@@mlsoundlab Hi Kai thanks for your reply. I have a Scarlete solo 2nd gen and KRK monitors. The scarlet plugs directly into the PC via USB. When I DI my Gallien Krueger 800RB into the scarlet it sounds great. I'm using Ignite AMPs for my impulse cab and I have numerous free and paid for IRs. Some of the paid guitar plugs i have are: Amped - Roots, Archetype Gojira, guitar rig 6, toneforge menace and U530. I play a basic ibenez gio model however when I use a 87` washburn flying V, the same tone outcomes occur. My DAW is calkwalk.

[@mlsoundlab]

All sounds like a pretty normal setup to me, nothing seems to be inherently wrong there. In that case, I'd suggest you check your input gain levels. In Amped Roots, you'll want the input knob's light to just begin to blink when you chug hard. Adjust the gain on your interface and the input knob to find a balance here that works for you. Other than that, technique and pick attack play a massive role in the sound you're hearing in demo videos. Try picking harder, or swapping to a different material of pick to give you the attack you're looking for! -Kai

[@nemonucliosis]

@@mlsoundlab awesome thanks! I'll check the gains but I never thought of the pick selection!

[@charlesmerfeld2988]

Sweet

[@leonardoalejandronunezarau8169]

please add a pitch shifter pedal in the pedalboard and it would be the best plugin in the world……!!!!!

[@OmnipotentSag]

I couldn't tell any difference. I'm really starting to worry about whether or not I can be a recording studio person. 😕

[@mlsoundlab]

Hey Randall! What are you listening to the video through? The differences will probably be heard best through headphones, they really help to pick up the more subtle differences. If headphones aren't an option, make sure you're pumping a little bit of volume out of whatever playback device you're opting for. Hope this helps! -Kai

[@OmnipotentSag]

@@mlsoundlab Yeah, I'm just listening through 2 pairs of desktop speakers while I'm working at my job. They're good, but not all-the-frequencies good. Haha

This is clearly missing Billie Joe Armstrong.

I hate him.

Not enough beard talk. Do not recommend. 😂

Not enough clean tone

[@Carvin5150CFH]

@@EspressoMartini007 The tone is nothing special here but I think you’re just a cleans only “player”.
