$1600 investment to save $108 = STONKS

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

basically. haha. I didn't mention it in this video, but the Kemper amp profiler can capture amps as well. So really any device with this capability works for these free trials :] (and I'll probably still buy the morgan amp suite on sale one day)

[@ivtones]

@@Plant_Based_Riffswhen do they usually go on sale ?

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@ivtones They usually have a killer black friday sale, but they may have a summer sale! Dig through their instagram a bit to see if you can find any sales last year around this month in case I missed something - they may have something sooner :)

[@ivtones]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs ok thanks!

[@mavisser3211]

yes that makes NO sense

[@camilofernandez3588]

I never even thought about capturing the plugin free trials. Got a job set for the weekend now. Thanks

[@compucorder64]

There's discount codes floating around that bring the price down to around $75. Which is much more manageable. So I bought the Morgan and the Toneking Imperial. Which covers my main bases, Vox AC-ish, Fender Printeon AND Deluxe types, Dumble. Then I have Amalgam Tonex for Marshall Super Lead, and Softube too, which adds solid Bluesbreaker, JCM, JMP, Silver Jubilee. Have a real JTM I'm happy to use. Though if anyone can recommend a good JTM type, I'm all ears. Maybe Amalgam have one ...

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@compucorder64 yeah I did buy it when black friday rolled around haha. 😬

[@compucorder64]

​@@Plant_Based_Riffs Yip, that's the way to do it. I've put a bit aside for this years Black Friday Sales to buy a Fabfilter or Soundtoys bundle. Last year got a good UAD one, cheap.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@compucorder64 dude the sound toys bundle is so worth it. Highly highly recommend.

[@compucorder64]

​@@Plant_Based_Riffs Yip, it's a tough choice. In the end I'll get both, just in whatever order. But, I do think Soundtoys is more exciting to me, FabFilter more practical. And I know I'll more likely go with the more inspiring set first, Soundtoys FTW. FabFilter maybe next year. Later, I do really like a lot in the Arturia FX bundle too (the EMT plate 140 reverb and the Tube Culture, especially). But Arturia are charging too much, I think.

[@davidr.wilson8194]

I'm confused about the quad cortex thing.Is that required equipment to use the Morgan Amp Suite? If possible I just want to buy the Amp Suite and use it in Studio One 5 Professional.Ill pay for it,gladly!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

The Quad Cortex can function as an amp profiler. This allows it to essentially “capture” the tone and sonic characteristics of an amp (and even some pedals). The Morgan Amp Suite is a plugin compatible with all the usual DAWs, including Studio One. You do not need the Quad Cortex to use it, tho you do need an audio interface of some kind to get your guitar signal into your computer. Happy playing!

[@davidr.wilson8194]

Great, I think the plug-in sounds great and I will be purchasing it. Thanks for the info!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@davidr.wilson8194 of course! I love it, the tones are so sick.

[@leppi_music]

1:00 this is so foreign deja vu it's scarry. I never had my gretch produce such insanely spot on mega fun and enjoyable tones as with Morgan amps. It's like they are made for eachother.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

indeed. Love the morgan gretsch combo

[@meowitzzer767]

Sounds dope! Thank you for capturing the Morgan!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

totally! I’ve always been intrigued by the AC20, so getting to try one (even if it’s digital) has been really fun :)

[@meowitzzer767]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs big same. Amps like Morgan and Benson have always been like celebrities to me: I know they exist, but I’ve never interacted with one lol Excited to get off work and see what this is like.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@meowitzzer767 It's a treat! I bet you'd dig the PlantBased2024 preset I made because it has a compressor dialed into perfection with the AC20 and it's definitely giving clean/breakup luxury.

[@meowitzzer767]

@@Plant_Based_Riffs I actually did download that already 😁 haven’t had a chance to play it. But I’ll be able to tomorrow. Also for what it’s worth, I’d like to see a Friedman capture! That’s the main amp I use in the QC, so it’d be great to hear how someone else uses it. Thanks again for all your work! That AC20 capture is awesome. Gonna build out a preset using the amp+cab capture

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@meowitzzer767 Love it! Yeah the friedman capture will be dope. I absolutely will make a friedman capture and will post a video of that when it’s ready to rock.

[@-salley879]

Tried this using the tonex to capture the neural mark iic+ plugin. The capture did sound fine it just didn’t feel amp like anymore

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

I guess your mileage may vary 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@кузькина-мать-оО]

What's your favorite impulses? I'm looking to replace the standard impulses in the Morgan Amp from Neural DSP. Could you recommend some specific models or at least some manufacturers?

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

@@кузькина-мать-оО i really love the IRs in the Morgan Amp Suite, but when I’m not using the stock Neural IRs, I use the GetGood Drums Cali Oversized and Goldstack IR libraries :) I think the Morgan would pair best with the goldstack library probably

[@ubdejones1]

great, now i just need a quad cortex!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

OR a kemper profiler or any device that can do a capture :)

[@cliffdykes1171]

I bought it and still capture it for my headrush prime pedal.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

yeah i DID buy it during their summer sale haha.

[@timmcnabb2282]

I stole a chord from you! haha, thanks for the vid, amazing info, and playing at 14min, got a new subscriber!

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Ayyy. Awesome. Which chord? 😮 because I also probably stole it. 😂😂

[@josuastangl7140]

Excellent video! I’m thinking of using my free CorOS3 plugin gift on the Morgan Suite. In your experience, how does the AC20 stack up against the QC‘s AC30 and DC30?

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

The AC 20 is perfection. I like it so much better than the DC30 and AC30 in the QC. The AC30 is like... kinda unmusically honky. The DC30 feels weak compared to a real DC30 which I used to use in my main stereo rig for a number of years. The Morgan AC20 is the perfect amount of clean/character. I absolutely love it. They killed it with this plugin. That capture I made is still my main amp sound I use for live pop rock sets. My new preset PlantBasedJuly is my main setting for that style.

NeuralDSP plugin have too much aliasing to be captured correctly

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

There is some aliasing, but the captures sound very good to me even still! What would you say is the best like, digital solution that has the least aliasing?

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

of all solutions I tested only 3 offers le best aliasing performances : 1- AxeFx3 Turbo 2- Overloud TH-U using 96KHz projects 3- Bogren Digital MLC Subzero 96kHz Worse of all were NDSP stuff... unfortunatly@@Plant_Based_Riffs

[@Juppi13]

​@@Plant_Based_RiffsThat wold probably be oversampling like Mercuriall does it, but its a bit CPU expensive for real time use.

[@ProudFilthyCasual]

I mean if you are paying for the Quad Cortex, I feel like you should be allowed to steal any of their models lol.

[@Plant_Based_Riffs]

Haha it’s not even stealing. I’m just bein’ a butt haha. I will probably buy the plugin once it has compatibility with the QC because I really do love the AC20 tone so much.
