ML Sound Lab is back, and with their November Sales discounting 50 % off their entire collection, they released a new amp sim - the AMPED BLACKOUT!
This one is their most ferocious plugin, emulating the girth and crush of the 3-channel behemoth that is the EVH 5150III Stealth!
Owing the 5150III 100W Ivory, I can tell that this plugin surely serves that crushing tonal DNA of the 5150III series justice!

Maaaan!! This song is absolutely brutal. Great demo and amazing Fenix guitar 🤘🤘🤘

[@PippPriss]

Thank you! The Fenix guitar was my main beast for a lot of years! Gotta revive that a bit, as the Solar A1.6ANN kinda pushed it a bit off, at least for the band setting.

[@danielnielsen6900]

Banger intro!

[@PippPriss]

Thanks a ton!

[@resington]

Great tune dude. Got this too and enjoying it!

[@PippPriss]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a really cool plugin!

[@paveways]

Nice Vid! So coming from the id14...how do you handle the pre-amp gain on your id44 throughout the plugins? Do you leave it (no matter what) on 0 and trying to handle the input gain via the plugin itself? I cant seem to find a satisfying solution for myself tho xD There are plugins which are massively undergained and a few who need little pre-amp tuning via the audio interface/pre-amp plugin itself.

[@PippPriss]

Hi There, thanks! I mostly keep the gain at 0, and just use the input trim on the plugin. There is a nice list made by "Ed S" here on KZbin, he lists all the different reference values of interfaces and plugins, so you can easily match them to work as intended by the developer. If in doubt, only your personal preference and listening can give you the right amount of gain, whether that being via plugin or gain knob does not matter, both work well. I personally am "team 0 gain", but with no loyalty attached to the idea - do as you seem fit :-)

[@ayeapprove]

Very nice demo song! Still no stereo makes me sad.

[@michaela1453]

These would be really good if they had stereo. ML really missed a big feature here.

[@ayeapprove]

@michaela1453 Mikko doesn't want to so it because users might not understand the feature 🫣

[@TudorAdrian]

Damn, you were fast man. Does Channel 3 do the thing the real amp does with the Channel 2 gain?

[@paulbradshawguitar]

i don't think he sleeps 😄 sounds killer in any case

[@PippPriss]

Ah, can you enlighten me on that? I don't know what happens with Channel 2 Gain on 3. I personally though assume this will not be the case, but can check that for you.

[@PippPriss]

@@paulbradshawguitar Haha, I actually slept LONG and GOOD - which drastically shortened the time I needed to make the video 😀

[@TudorAdrian]

@@PippPriss When you're on the RED channel, the Gain knob on the BLUE channel has an active effect on the gain structure / tightness
