It’s Way Lighter Than a 5150 | UAFX ANTI

[@chaosandorderstudio]

The only guy, among the KZbinrs who reviewed this pedal, who did a comparison between the anti and another simulation. At least we can understand how it compares to some 5150 iteration. Well done Rabea We now need a comparison between this and a 1992 5150 😅

[@n1tr0sys09]

Yes, like Bea said they're different but if the thing is kind of inspired in something it's clear people would wanna know how it compares, it doesn't even matter if better or worst but at least a base to judge thanks for that Bea, amazing how everyone else straight ignore that...

Fun fact, I just read the manuals, the UA amp pedals can be interconnected in a way that you can have a 4 or even 6 channel rig. 4 cable method.

The Anti made the Nolly sound like a simulation. Well done Universal Audio.

[@Len_M.]

UAD is good period.

[@florisvanlingen]

@@bgarza18 It give a good Deluxe Reverb mixed up studio sound, but as soon as you hit it with a drive pedal it becomes apparent it's a "plugin in a box", because it sounds digital. The audience will never notice that though, but I do. Also I don't get why they don't have midi on their pedals.

[@suede__]

The distortion on that delay pedal when it was in the rhythm channel sounded awesome.

[@youropionmattersnot]

I play through small tube amps 20 watt and under. A good pedal through a tube amp gives everything I need. Always gets in the mix during practice and even better with a microphone live.

[@jrflattop]

A bit late here to this video, but I love being able to watch you dial in tones on pedals you review. You spend the time to really go through it and the tone comparison to Nolly is genius. Thanks for the time you dedicate to us, I appreciate your work immensely. Cheers.

Best simulated 5150 sound I have ever heard. Trying to dial it into my Axe FX III and get close, but the Anti sounds like it is punching you in the face.

[@void_snw]

Honestly most of the difference is probably in the bias point and the cab setup. 5150's been done to death at this point in the modeling world :')

[@cameronfarrell9076]

​@@void_snw done to death doesnt mean done well. I bought an fm3 in hopes it would give me all the amps i could ever want without the price tag to match. When i compared with with my 5153 is wasnt close enough, so i got rid of the fm3

[@juhalehtonen9000]

​@@cameronfarrell9076I did the same. Bought few tubeamps instead and world of difference

[@cameronfarrell9076]

@@juhalehtonen9000 I've found a middle ground solution that works well for me. Tube preamps. I got a dumble preamp a while ago that's golden, and just today I got the AMT p-lead in the mail, it sounds close enough to my 5153 to be fun and satisfactory, honestly if someone had told me I was plugged into the amp and someone had messed with my settings slightly I'd believe it. Now all that's left is to figure out a pedal sized power amp that sounds good and my pedalboard amp will be complete

Bea, I’d be interested to hear if the UAFX Lion could pair well with this pedal for the kind of stuff you do. It does have that Super Lead esque sound that you’ve paired with a 5150 in the past. Maybe this could be the case to put the real amps in the museum (lovely though they are).

[@sleeplessingc]

[@Harrysound]

Hmmmmm interesting! I have an AXE FX and always find myself going to 5153s

[@PsychotropicAeonian]

is it just me? or have all the demos of this thing had a slightly uncomfortable high end spike, not sure where it is but it sounds like it's either 3k or 6k ish, I mean I get that people like 5150s to be biting but aren't they also known for more of a bark? it seems like it's kinda built in to the sweet spot or something since I've noticed the same high end spike on pretty much all the vids I've seen so far...

[@zeronyne]

I noticed it much less in the recordings from all reviewers using a real cab, so I wonder if it's the cab sims or the way the outputs color the sim.

[@sbrave]

ANTI is great, but but maybe too much low end initially that would be cut in a live show or a mix. The last round with ANTI & the plugin and TS sounded great as a comparison. I've also head some other demos of just full gain chugging, no clean and no single note lines. This is the best demo so far.

[@domg7616]

Always a classic review from this guy.

[@Calif5150]

Hey man, my first time on your channel, and was lookingnfor a good review of this new 5150 pedal. Stopped by another dude, wont name names, but he reminds me of those peoplenthat come in to GC, go to drop D or C and just makes a bunch of noise with 4 power cords and out of rhythm open chords. Really diggin this pedal, and it seems to have some beautiful tones, and alot of room to get really creative, and i can hear that 5150 heritage with in. Great stuff, and your newest Subscriber.

[@Bcwilderness]

hardware always sounds more forward than plugins and will sit better in a mix with drums, more realistic in a stereo spread as an element, amps and cabs better still

Not only that but one of the BEST sounding demos across all of YT. 👍

[@JimsMusicJourney]

Ive heard 15 different people demo this. The first 13 people obviously never played the amp its modeled after. It was God awful and sounded nothing like the amp I played for many years in the studio in the early to mid 90s. But you and Jon Symons Sonic Drive Studio nailed it.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

[@minorleaguerigs]

Belive i figured out the name, ANTI is an acronym for “ampsim in to interface”…

[@thomas.loyens]

How do you connect your pedal to the app? Bluetooth?

[@christopherbuck7679]

The delay around 9mins 19 seconds really made the pedal for me. What delay was that, pedal or plug-in? I could image the pedal being too ‘brown’ unless you’re really clean, otherwise the fizz or hight end bleeds across chords. I sort of think you need to be very careful of your complex chords if you’re a messy guitarist, otherwise it’s a bit in refined, just my thoughts.

[@stoneysdead689]

Me: "Man, that's a lot of gain..." Rabea: "Now were going to put it on the high gain channel." So why is it called the "Anti"? Like "anti-up" - that's all I can think of. I can't figure out any association between the name and the amp or EVH. Anyway- I can't decide between this or the dual rec. Knuckles sim. I'm leaning toward the Knuckles because I've always been a huge Metallica fan, and they used the dual rec. I'm also a big Foo Fighters fan, they used one. But tbh the Anti sounds really good and the 5150 has been used more often and by more metal bands than any other amp- plus it's perfect for 80s shred. The dual rec. I think is less versatile, more firmly within the box so to speak- it's all about the chug. You're not going to see a lot of 80s shredders using it- it was made famous by bands like Metallica and Dream Theatre. Idk- I'm just as lost now as when I started. Decisions, decisions.... of course, I could just go with a Deluxe Simplifier- or a Freidman IR-J. Or- I could buy the J Rockette PXO, stick it in front of my Lion '68- and see what that sounds like. AHHHHH! I'm losing my mind... Truth is, I'm going to buy it all eventually so, it doesn't matter. The Anti it is.. or maybe the Knuckles... Idk. Damn it.

[@Manley156]

Nope, the upper frequencies are apparent in every review. For some, they enjoy this quality. I've owned 5150 variants and always did my best to dial out the harsh highs when present.

[@KingDjH19]

You have to remember alot of them are not in a mix. Also alot of them are showing direct in and not through a 4x12 cab. I would bet this pedal sounds killer through a 4x12 and in a full band setting. Just my opinion.

[@fredyow5395]

So, is that into an amp? With amp set clean or mild distortion? Tube or solid-state? Pedal is solid-state emulation of a tube amp?

[@claytonvolner5950]

Hey, Rabea, how do you get such a defined sound on your chords? When you’re playing high gain stuff you can still clearly hear the higher notes of a chord and it doesn’t sound muddy or undefined? I’ve noticed that about some of your other videos as well.

[@electricworldSchon]

Awesome chords ! What is the tuning please ?

[@OscillationOverdrive]

Is there not an EVH setting?

[@AzaelVI]

How would you run this through a non-FR FR speaker set up? Can the cab sims be turned off? There's little point using IR sims through a traditional cab that have their own distinctive tone.

[@shambapoo]

Yes, cabinets can be turned off on all the UAFX amp pedals.

[@Fl_Music_Producer]

How does this stack up against something that has a ir of a 5150 such as a kemper or tonex?

[@tonepot2339]

That thing needed the tube screamer! Not that it was bad without it.

[@XChristianNoirX]

The clean can sound that good on the original 5150 if you use the low gain input and W twist the knobs. Unfortunately, the channels have shared EQ. Alao, sounds even better with a Unit67 in front and single coils. Hell... I was even able to Squeeze a Samsung Pumpkins Hummer clean tone out of my block with a strat.

[@matthieusandjivy7925]

Thx very much ..again :). I have a "dumb" question...are you in drop C ? or a more complex tuning ?

[@FlapSkate]

Can this be used in a live setting like a two channel amp by using the "Preset" func? I think the other UAFX amp sims have a significant latency or more of a drop in volume when switching between your current and your favourite preset.

As with all simulated amps (digital or pedal), try through a Tube Pilot or Maxon OD808 (or both) to get a bit more realism rather than post gain fx. It’s all in the oregano lol Pre gain. THEN…think about impulses and FX. This sounds a lot like a Sansamp, so I dunno. Some pedals you literally cannot change the sound no matter what you try. Seems like one of those. Probably easy to mod to open it up some. It’s made to deny certain things from happening to output the same kinda tone no matter what. Not bad, though. All sounds the same to me though, just EQ curves for presets over the same initial amp sound.
