Plugins That Every Guitarist Should Own.

In today's video, I'm looking at my favourite audio plugins that i believe every guitar player should own.
All of the raw tones today are coming from an AXE FX 3.
In today's video, I'm looking at
FabFilter ProQ
Waves CLA-2A
SoundToys Echoboy
UAD Lexicon 224
Valhalla Shimmer
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

[@sledgehammer80sband37]

What bloomin great guitar sounds :)

[@MartinicCom]

Great sounding demo!

[@Jake_Sachs]

The UA Lexicon 224 plugin is also available on their UAD Spark platform, for which you don't need any UA hardware.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Yup. Was gonna say same…

[@pauleuc2212]

I love your ambient atmospheric sounds

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Paul

Man, I remember I didn’t go to school for a day when I had a black eye. Much less make a video and post on KZbin. Good on you.

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

I can only agree with you ...I'm only missing the Fabfilter PRO-Q which I have replaced with another EQ then I'm perfectly in line with your indications. 🙂

Who kicked his arse is whai wanna know

[@jeremyversusjazz]

I knew you were actually jason staithern dude! Sure you were “at a kids birthday party”…Lol even that nasty blackeye cant take away from that frickin beautiful paisley p90 strat tho! And im screen grabbing the lex224 settings. Cheers jason!

[@kevinmusso2397]

You sold me on the EchoBoy. Got it!

[@TheStudioRats]

You won’t regret that.

[@mikehunt576]

@@TheStudioRats I know I did, you cant control things with echo boy as you can a tape echo, for example the feedback is limited, all Soundtoys plugins are overpriced backwards plugs with zero side chain levels (mix blend the effect) then you have the issue where you cant change the speed its repeated or control their levels (for example as in Van Hallens cathedral)..so...sorry this thing is not worth what they are asking for, you like their thing which is add grit and some features in their plugs then decapitator and radiator is all you need, the rest of their plugs suck a55, filterfreak, tremolator, pan man..sad sad set of garbage

[@GibsonFanaticUK]

What is that guitar? Unbelievable tone, I’m in love with it!

[@RogerThat902]

Plugins are something I know nothing about but want to learn more. I have my tube amps for playing out, but I have no idea how to get good sounds w a computer.

[@timothy5974]

A Focusrite Scarlett solo USB interface and Scuffham S-Gear is all you need. 🤓🤘👍

[@davidcane7211]

Those damn toddlers

[@notalkguitarampplug-insrev784]

They are everywhere nowadays. No safe place anymore

[@arpitsave1089]

U shuda seen the other guy

[@notalkguitarampplug-insrev784]

Amplitube 5 max

[@chad6326]

You have to own specifically the Apollo series interface or any UAD interface?

[@mikehunt576]

as of oct 2023 (not long before nukes go flying into Arab countries and china,) this is not only available native but all their native plugs have been basically available along with WAVES etc etc..when I mean available I cant even explain it here for legal reasons which wont matter once the world war kicks in.

[@pearlandGUITARIST]

Come clean about the black eye. It was James, wasn't it?

[@jojolapraline]

Your jab man, your jab.🤕

[@Yurchik4477]

А что с лицом у Вас?!

[@eddyleger7662]

i unjoined because all i see, especially that great "beat up" strat. I remember looking at guitar players crossing town, every bump and scratch had a story.....now, no one has a story.......got a buddy who bought such a guitar......cant get what he payed, not even close. I thought you were different, but when your best guitar was "fake" life history of road wear, you will never be able to tell "The" story. Does anyone have their mechanic beat up their new car............think about it.

[@shaharbar]

Wow, what a statement, you’re so brave… don’t think anyone will miss you… the guitar looks and sounds awesome!

[@TheStudioRats]

😂

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

The guitartone is for your ears, the guitar appearance is for the owner

[@Utubewrk123]

@@TheStudioRats I love the red strat and the green one. Certain guitars would look odd like a fancy PRS but to unsubscribe is 🙄. I like you’re goldtop too. Feel better.

[@GlennGGG5150]

I don’t think anyone is gonna miss u unjoining. Can’t Make any sense of your comment anyway mate ?
