WaveMind Amp Suite Rev F vs Mercuriall Ampbox Rectofire Rev G

The WaveMind Amp Suite Rev F is a guitar amp simulator that closely recreates the iconic Dual Rectifier Rev F from the '90s. Here are the key features:
1. Authentic Sound: Powered by WaveMind’s new modeling engine, this plugin captures the essence of the classic amplifier. It offers three channels: Green (clean), Orange, and Red (high gain modern tones).
2. Channel Cloning: You can customize each channel to have either a modern or vintage sound.
3. Mic Placement Simulation: Precisely position your virtual microphone even after recording. You can also blend this with custom impulse responses.
4. 7-Band EQ: Shape your tone exactly as you prefer.

Do you remember exactly which IR you used here? I see you've listed York Audio but they have so many! Loving this tone

[@rauloliveiragt]

@@one_eyed7837 thank you! Yes, i do! Mercuriall Audio: YA MES 412 OS 57m-FOA Wavemind: YA MES 412 OS 57m-CE 1

Hi, with your experience, which Amp do you recommend as a first purchase? something that sounds real and is not too expensive...thanks.

[@rauloliveiragt]

Mercuriall plugins are the most realistic when it comes to dialing and sound, thanks to their Neural Hybrid 3.0 engine. You can really dial like in real life, also feels like in real life (there are still a few missing details from the picking attack, but still better than Neural DSP). Wavemind sounds nice when you press play, but the feeling of playing in real time is nothing like the feeling of playing through a real amp. All these amps are made with IRs in mind, like Ownhammer, York Audio and so on... But if you use Ola Englund's IRs, then something weird will happen to your sound. The only amp sim that will sound right with Ola Englund's IRs and also sounds right with all the other IRs is the Two Notes Genome! Genome offers a wider range of amps, pedals, effects, studio grade tools and the Two Notes Torpedo Wall of Sound cabinets. They sound and feel great, plus, Genome supports captures for AIDA-X and NAM. All these features in a single plugin!

@@rauloliveiragt OLA'S IRs are probably with cooked in poweramp as well. This is why.

[@rauloliveiragt]

@@tgchan Oh yes! But anyway he said he doesn't like to go too far from noon. I don't really know what he does there (I like it!)

[@rauloliveiragt]

@@tgchan Now I want to test the GGD IRs. If you are a user of these IRs, then please let me know about your experiences.

@@rauloliveiragt Interesting. In this comparison WaveMind clearly sounds better to me, I know both plugins, Rev F is closer to me in terms of sound but it also depends on the mix, not to mention the choice of IR.
