[@SanguineThor]

"heres the default tone" Well I'm sold already

[@auralfixxation6702]

Yes me too.

[@THooker]

😂

[@Zayloven]

Without an overdrive pedal too😂 instantly sold

[@strijkspray4753]

The Rule of Nines Preset basically makes you sound like a god instantly, love it! inspires me to step out my comfort zone and try new stuff.

[@fromdepthswerise3024]

I actually re-did my entire mixing template because of this plug-in. And the Rule of Nines lead is a perfect lead tone.

[@jb-rg1hz]

As a guitarist I am so thankful for Mike.

[@Dustinchugs]

A true riff beast of our time

[@cssiomurilo]

Mike's playstyle is the reason I bought me a 7 string. I've tried through different pedalboards achieve these sounds, and now I just need this plugin... So amazing... Congratulations Michael and Mixwave, the plugin sounds fkng amazing!!!

[@user-xs4rm1ti8f]

Same here bought my jackson because of spiritbox

[@SanguineThor]

Same here, I wanted to play some deathcore songs and started to get into spiritbox and learn some of their riffs on my first 7 string!

[@marknewman5659]

5:30 - he did the beauty of suffering, my favourite 🤟😁

[@greg.]

This plugin beats out some others I’ve paid like 4x the price for. Love it!

[@NafiurRahmanYT]

10:40 already teased their new song "Jaded" ❤‍🔥

[@fromdepthswerise3024]

I was able to clean up my recording/mixing template with this plug-in. And the tones that come from it have inspired so many new ideas for my songwriting. Thanks Mike and Mixwave!

[@johnnyhickey1312]

My favorite part about Mike is his ambient clean playing. He’s got his singnature beautiful infinite delay tone with beautiful clean chords as well. I feel his clean playing goes overlooked because his heavy rythem playing is so sick as well

[@mattr1398]

I have quite a few plugins from various brands and I have to say this is my Favourite !! Amazing tones straight out of the gate. For someone like myself who just loves to plug and play, this is perfect !! Thanks Mike and thanks Mixwave for making something so awesome !!!

[@josuastangl7140]

6:21 The Seinfeld Theme tone is way too good hahaha Absolutely love the variable signal chain feature with the drag and drop!

[@NiamorH]

5:30 guys! You need to play this one live again! Love it so much!!

Buying this plugin was the best decision! I immediately got it when I found out about it. The Rotoscope preset made me write a track within an hour. Thanks for the endless inspiration!

[@TynonJones-z4c]

Downloaded it the instant it was announced. I am IN LOVE with this plugin. Sounds phenomenal with my 7 string with SD Pegasus pups. Amazing work from all involved!

[@cameronneal4]

Listen Mike, you're a hero and this is the best plugin I've ever owned.

[@somersfamily]

Mike is legend, thanks for making beautiful music and being so sweet to our daughter in st Pete a few years back. We saw you again in orlando. ( she made you guys that picture 😆) much love to you guys. Have an awesome day.( thank you for taking the time to show us this) ❤

[@CareBonezy]

Getting this plug-in once I've gotten a new guitar and home studio set-up is an absolute priority for me! Spiritbox is my favorite band hands down, and there's no band I want to draw inspiration from more in the coming years as they make all my favorite sounds, so this plug-in is a dream come true for me.

[@thisguy2973]

I’m impressed by the out-of-the-box sound using the default cab responses.

[@snowbloodx]

After some days of trial I bought it just now, I'm a standalone plugin guy - no recording just jamming usually with Archetype Gojira. This plugin is an all in one solution for me, thanks for the work!

[@valerinaatas]

Grabbed the trial right the first day this came out - and that’s without a doubt, the most defined and clear 5150 tone I’ve ever got from a plugin. This is even unbelievable. Hands down, I need this so much in my life! Huge congrats to Mike and Taylor with such an incredible release and thanks for letting us get our hands to these tones🔥

[@somegingerdude8110]

The clean riff from Secret Garden was so sick

[@TC_Ty_Thurmond]

Bought this last week and it’s absolutely worth the investment!! Super sick!

[@GunSlayer9842]

surprised on how good this sounded out the box unlike other plugins I've tried, Thanks Mike!

[@LiveFromTheRaw]

Dude, the circus effect caught me off guard. That was awesome!

[@Chiefcheeseofcheddington]

Giving the fans that are guitarists what they want. Now that’s fan service.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

4:12 .... those ambient pad sounds awesome !!

[@Ewright85]

Mike needs to do a signature Jackson 7 string. Id buy that in a heartbeat

[@coldnorthcreative]

Sooo many great sounds. Sounds like a great mix between really spacey spheric cleans and crushing distorted/high gain sounds! Can't wait to dig in

[@vicodinvictim]

Just bought it and used it on a new song. LOVE it! 🤘

[@max_vic7or]

I have tried it for the mixwave contest, and it's been so quick and easy to find awesome and inspiring tones! Really good job on this plugin! 🔥🤘🔥

[@b1rd461]

Yo I tried this plugin, and I gotta say it's one of the best out there... Easy plug&play with all the presets, and still you can reallllllly get nerdy with your tone.. This plugin is brilliant !!

[@williamarnold4715]

Yeah I'm definitely buying this soon, these tones and, presets are just amazing! Definitely going in my rotation.

[@nathan_nothing]

I like how the first riff he plays is from their new track, Jaded, as a teaser.... Haha.

[@olliehuxford680]

It's so sick dude! Loving the Artists you have on there. 🤟🤟🤟

[@reality8o]

Mike, you're an absolute legend!

[@dissonantgrooves]

dude, i love this amp, its so versatile! definitely gonna be using it as my main amp

[@HORRORoftheMIND]

Thats super sick! I would have hours of fun messing around with those. And Mike your riffs are SO KILLER!

[@kendallfowlermusic]

Just another reason why Mixwave is the actual goat🤯

[@jhamilton1007]

I like your playing style, Mike.

[@ancientalien815]

I bought this plugin and fucking LOVE IT! The transpose is fucking AWESOME!

[@SlackWi]

I bought it straight away and love it but would also love a couple of simple extra features: ability to turn off the crystals in the reverb and a stereo widener/doubler effect for the output (great when jamming on your own)

[@SpiritboxOfficial]

Appreciate the feedback! You can turn off the crystals by twisting the icon all the way down to 0. Good idea on the widener, for now, I'd recommend messing with the panning parameter on the cab sim. Could get you close!

[@SlackWi]

@@SpiritboxOfficial wow the crystals dial is so obvious once you point it out but I had no idea it was there! Thank you

[@VMODofficial]

Is the "Rhythm" preset at 8:43 the same as the "Rhythm Default" one? Loving this plugin by the way! Might be my new favorite.

[@andyje]

There are many guitar plugins out there, some do a job, not always the job. When I got this yesterday (Aug 20) I didn't plan on using it until I had a chance to really look at it in depth, after messing around for 20 minutes I used it in a video and don't regret it. This has a number of tools at your disposal that few amp sims offer.

[@misterkenova6695]

Chunk is the sickest preset in a longgggg time. Cheers!

[@YuriiHavdan]

Sounds great! Also very like ambience presets & effects. Thanks a lot for this plugin!

[@philippgrunert8776]

Actually a great insight into their production, thank you

[@josephbrant9827]

This Amp sim is the best sounding one I've ever tried straight out the box.

[@jakubvanous8934]

Love it Mike. I already own few Neural DSP plugins but ..love them as well..but this one is really versatille. I can use just this one to make song.

[@StephLP320]

That's awesome man can't wait to see you on September 6th

[@maxstatic]

The grin on the circus kills me

[@JimmyBrungu]

This Plugin changed the game for me!

[@silaswintersguitar]

I think this is the first amp sim ive seen thats actually worth the expensive price. It has everything you need literally.

[@LucasMastropasqua]

Gotta get a new computer first but this is one of the first things I’m getting! Thanks for sharing your awesome tone with us!

[@garcyuh]

Keep kicking ass Mike!

[@emersonribeiro6664]

I loved your sound equipment Mike , very good ,😍🤩💋🤘👊🎼🎵🎸🎸🎸

[@AlexSaheli]

SO COOL

[@Kessellish]

Truly amazing plugin! Love it ❤❤❤

[@dgortych]

Are you going to post another video about this? I’d love to hear your thought process behind some of your sounds, also what’s your goto pickup? Seems like you’ve tried a ton over the years which is expected but do you have one you keep coming back to? Thanks Mike and Mixwave!

[@Djfmdotcom]

The "Circus" setting is actually amazing for EDM lead lines!

[@kapricun]

I absolutely LOVE the details, such as the icon in the screen near the "CHANNEL", "CRYSTAL" and " RING MODE" etc. from the eternal blue icon set ❤ kinda hoped he'd incorporate a riff that's new to us and secretly teasing a new song but hey, one can dream! EDIT: want to play through some of my favorite sounds however the Doomswitch Main is a riff I can't place so it might be a new song? 😏

[@general__kenobi]

10:40 is Jaded if I'm not mistaken

[@kapricun]

​@@general__kenobidefinitely!

[@mattnunesmusica]

10:16 dig that "Dragonball Battle" tone.

[@kabobba]

sounds so amazing! excited for the fear of fear!!!

[@thestew57]

Love seeing you have Tetrarch in there. Love those guys and did a taco metal party with them at Jose Mangins place in Seal Beach here in So Cal. Plug in sounds great, def a must have for djent/metalcore and just overall tones

[@maxs0294]

Bro's really teased Jaded with his plugin walkthrough lmao

[@KyleErwin]

3:58 Giving us "Jaded" before it's even out. Sneaky shrew.

[@circlonianmapper]

They’ve done this before when they played Constance in the background of their Patreon announcement video 😂😂 sneaky mfs, love them to death

[@DISSONVNT]

Lowkey upset, yet amazed by how good this plugin is that it literally made all my other amp sims obsolete (Neural/STL/Otto/Bogren/etc) and the fact it translates almost perfectly to a Kemper Profile has done wonders for my band in both studio and live events multiple times already lmao

[@corpsefoot758]

4:12 Broo, what IS that glorious sound 😭 Is that a Spiritbox riff?? Why have I never heard that song before

[@MrBaker444]

Can’t wait to try this!! Just one question tho… why the eye of Horus?

[@lily117j4]

LESGO Mike 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Savagewoodworker]

Friggen love that dotted delay

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

9:55 we need a Spiritbox song that is that heavy lol

[@Siendorf]

So so good!

[@8EternalDreamer8]

Sounds good bro😎

[@Bobbyboiii_]

HELL YES MIKE! I FUCKING LOVE THIS PLUGIN! I'm writing like CRAZY!

[@Wizzerman95]

I really don’t need another amp sim… but damn do I want this

[@chrisazz4642]

how are you doing the high pitched scratching sound at 0:59 ?

[@maxalaintwo3578]

3:57 I'm keeping this riff tabbed before it ends up in a song somewhere

[@hades429]

It just came out, in a called called jaded

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

That shit sounds STUPID good. What cab responses do you use? Just the stock ones?

[@SpiritboxOfficial]

This is the stock IR within the plugin!

[@FairyCRat]

My 2 favorite presets are actually from Josh. The 5-7-8 for my drop C guitar (of course) and the H8 for my baritone in drop E. I tried the preset from Andrew Baena that is literally called drop E, but it's overly loud and gainy, which is strange since Andrew usually has super tight and gated tones.

[@trippy325]

I downloaded the trial and absolutely adore the fun sounds in this plugin. Unfortunately not being able to use it without an internet connection or a usb dongle that you have to buy (and that I will probably lose more than once) is a current deal breaker for me. Please tell Mixwave to do the iLok machine activations in the future updates so we can use the plugin without having to look for a net connection every time we want to use it!

[@apocalypsekid]

Well. 7 day trial. Sure. Went and bought it instantly

[@Veeto]

i was like yeah maybe i’ll buy it then i heard the carbomb tone and went YEP

[@deadlikedinosaurs7211]

I was waiting for the whole band to come in after this riff 11:53

[@jackiegray6767]

hey mike! Just wanted to ask a couple questions, what DAW do you use? this plugin is super sick ive gotta have it! LOL great shit man yall keep kicking ass!

[@AsadHaidar]

LAZER sounds interesting. But there's no LAZER in my presets. Guess I gotta imitate your Ring-Mod settings, Mike 😁 Hands down, this is one of the best amp sims in my arsenal

[@zedmind5246]

5:51 - how is it so low? Is there some octaver/pitch bend in this plugin or he just tuned down the lowest string?

[@Rowanexen]

Do you see the really small knob next to the signal chain? That's a pitch shifter! I'm not sure if he used that one or an outside one in the Rotoscope segment, but he definitely used it at 9:10!

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Sick!

[@corey1845]

What hardware do i need? Can i plug in the guitar to the computer? Can i plug in the computer to my amp? Beginner here but i just love the sounds of the plugin

[@mwmmatt1]

You need an interface, you can get them at most online instrument retailers. Or if you have modelling amp look into if that can act as an interface. Boss Katanas for example can after you install some drivers

[@corey1845]

@@mwmmatt1 very helpful, thanks. So the interface connects my guitar with the computer? Can the same interface connect the computer with my amp? Its just a plain marshall

[@mwmmatt1]

@@corey1845 if you’re looking to use plugins like this I’d just get an interface, and go straight guitar into PC as I don’t think Marshall’s can send your raw guitar signal to the computer. If you just want your amp sound to go through the PC it’ll either have a DI Out on the back or you’ll need to mic it which is a whole other rabbit hole haha

[@corey1845]

@@mwmmatt1 no i meant it the other way around haha. Guitar -> Interace -> Computer/ Mikes Plugin -> ? -> Marshall whats needed between the computer and the marshall to hear the plugin's sound on the marshall. I dont want to record it this way, i want to hear the sound while playing through the amp

[@mwmmatt1]

@@corey1845 oh I see, I’m not sure actually. I guess you could run from the PC into the FX Return of the amp if it has an FX loop but I don’t know what you’d need for that honestly.

[@yypSgf7]

Where’s the “dotted ambience” riff from?

[@itopakfrppgng9764]

Siiick tones

[@Luemm3l]

maybe stupid ass question, but how come I have to either crank the input real high or set the noise gate to reeally low or turn it off to hear anything at all, does that mean I simply go in with too little gain? second of all, is it possible to play the seinfeld or roastscope pre-sets with a bass cause I feel they wre kind of made for them. I tried doing so and got some signal, but again real quiet, so maybe same issue as with guitar? not enough input gain?
