6:50 took me decades to admit that LESS distortion is often your best bet when trying for a chunky and well-defined rhythm. Too distorted and your muting sound messy and you still hear all that noise between chunks if you listen closely. There's got to be some sweet spot for each style and for solos, etc. That sound w/level all the way up is far too distorted to "sound" good. You'd have to do some serious FFT noise reduction and gating to clean that up. thx for the review.
true. With a real rig it feels natural to set dist on max and then chug the hell out, but in VSTs you must set it to a reasonable level and compensate with right hand. Started using pluggins only now and realised that it requests a very different right hand technique in order not to swim in noise and unwanted harmonics
Nice demo's of the Mesa Boogie. Have to agree, I love the fact that these are endorsed by the brands. This absolutely speaks volumes and has been why AmpliTube has been my favorite for many years. My personal favourite is the new Leslie 147. They all sound so cool, but these just win me. Thanks for this share.
Awesome. Just got mine started. Purely amazing the sounds on the amp and the effects would cost so much more. And with this can get any sound that I want skies the limit.
I'm a Big Mess Boogie fan too. I had bought a brand new Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier omg it was great. I had to sell it. Had to move and relocate. Bills etc. I'll buy another one Someday. Good video buddy 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸
Sim-amps are getting amazing nowadays. I gotta get this, I'm a M-Boogie nut, not so much rectifiers, but the 3c+. I'm working on a entire album in the box on the most recent iPad. Memory, go for the max so you don't bottom out.
Been using Amplitube since 2003. Blew my mind then, blows my mind now. LINE6 doesn't even come close. The ZOOM G3 pedals are comparable and overall they have better stomps and fx but the amp models aren't as good as IK's.
What's the latency like using a Zoom pedal as the interace for Amplitube? I've got a Zoom H6 recorder/interface and I've tried it as an interface for Amplitube using Zoom's ASIO driver but the latency just feels too high. The H6 doesn't have a Hi-Z input so I'm not sure if that's the problem but I don't see how that would have an effect on the latency - just maybe the quality of the guitar signal captured as I am getting a decent input level even using a passive pickup guitar (the H6 instructions say only active pickup guitars don't need a Hi-Z input and are thus officially comptaible for the H6). I bought the H6 for other reasons so being able to use it for Amplitube would've been a bonus but it's clear I need something else. I'm now considering either a Zoom G5n or an IK Axe I/O. Main use would just be practicing at home, maybe recording some ideas. I'm a drummer of over 10 years but a very recent guitarist so have so much to learn and play with, also where I live I can't crank up amp volume too often and I don't think I'm ready to invest in expensive tube amps and a loadbox for quieter/headphone playing yet so using something like Amplitube would let me experiment with all sorts of effects and amp types at home volumes. The Zoom pedal seems more versatile, has the expression pedal built in and can be used standalone. But if it has the same USB audio interface tech as my H6 I'm concerned I may still have the latency issue. Whereas IK make the actual software their interfaces work with so I'm guessing they've got the latency thing down.
Brit 8000 with the vintage closed back/Orange cab brit anniversary 3 and the greenback sm 57 and 421 in a booth with a OCD. And reverb and delay in the pre and 10 band eq in the post with a 4k cut out by 3 db and high pass the 40-80hz and tube compressor....Done!!
the best digital amp plug in so far. Impressive. The Mesa Boogie and ENGL amps can really match the real things... This is a great advantage for musicians
I absolutely LOVE my amplitube 4. not just the incredible amps/cabs etc. and how great they sound, but I love the 'store' and the "try" options etc. My only complaint is no foot switch pedals and foot control wah/volume pedals. If they'd have that avail. for windows. I would never use anything else ever again.. But other than that, I can't say enough about how great Amplitube is.. So easy, takes up so space whatsoever like my big amps. I travel a lot, so this is always w/ me in my laptop/interface.. I play in my hotels, etc..
Hi Ola and community, am I missing something? I am not getting the sound that Ola is producing in this video. I am using a Win10 PC = 8Core Processor, SSD=500Gb, 12gb memory, 3 monitors, DAW=REAPER and using a Steinburg UR22 with standalone power or usb (type-c). Using a BC Rich ($399) with standard pickups. Your thoughts
very clear and useful demo! I have a doubt, i hope someone can answer, I see the noise supressor set practically OFF and there is not any noise when Ola doesn't play their guitar, this is due the interface that he use?? or maybe there is something more between the guitar and interface?
Is that sound just coming out from your PC speakers or are you using some external cabinet? I'm thinking of buying Amplitude but don't know how to get started as i just have a laptop!
You can buy the collection and use inside AmpliTube (even the free CS version). It is on sale currently for a couple more days, so you may want to get it soon. www.ikmultimedia.com/products/mesa/ for full information
Hey man as far as the compressors I really enjoy the compressors that I purchased from amplitude T-Rex and the ones that come with Logic Pro. If I used the amplitude Mesa boogie amps and then on the post I want to use the logic compressors or the T-Rex compressors would I use those best as the second below the amplitude plugin for example what I first open up apple tube on channel one let's say on logic and then open up a second effects and you open the compressors? Because if I open first the compressors on the signal chain then with that compress amplitude after I open amplitude or does it matter how your effects chain is on Logic Pro? I know it's not a confusing but I hope it made some sense would appreciate an answer thank you.
Ola, can this be used with the IK MM AXE I/O ? Do you have a demo of the IK MM AXE I/O Yet ? Didn't see one. Thanks. I think the IK Mesa stuff sounds great on your demo.
My only real gripe with AmiplTube is the lacking FX Loop. You can't put any of the stomp boxes in the loop. With GR it is much easier to choose the order of literally anything. AT makes it much easier to set up twin amp/cab setups though.
I am using a quad-capture roland sоuncard and guitar with passive pickups(Les Paul Maison custom 90year). I do everything exactly like in the video. Why is my sound so weak, humming and flat? Ola, what didn't you show us?
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please contact our IK Support team via www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support and I'm sure they can get to the bottom of what's happening. Thanks!
Does ANYONE use Amplitude 4 in studio one 3.5 with a foot controller to change presets, stomps etc. if so, which fboard works best and how did u route it. thanx
Hello all. I have an amplitube from mesa boogie on ipad air, I also have a JBL LSR 305 listening monitor, but I do not have such treasures as HERE! What was used here, etc? I would like to have a similar one! :)
AmpliTube CS is free and has enough gear to make great music (that you keep for good, no time limit or other limitations). Check outwww.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitubecs/
Say I have some pedals in front of my interface. I have a lyndhurst, a variable attack od, and a palladium. What I do now is use poulin amps plug in and pulse cabs plug in, just using the CLEAN channel of the amps they have to push my original signal, and I get pretty decent results. Do you guys think these amps would be optimal for that kind of thing? Any tips would be great!
I got amplitube 4 the other day and using it via an irig2 hd. It’s sounding really really muddy and fizzy. What am I doing wrong? I’ve got it running on my laptop through windows and downloaded the asio4all driver. I’m using the audio Technica ath-50x headphones which seem highly recommended for this program. I tried out the triple rectifier and it’s still really muddy. I can’t get anything to sound like what I’m seeing or hearing on RU-vid, and I’m reluctant to purchase any more items as I’ve been trying a lot of the other gear and just aren’t seeing any improvements. I’m seeing people say to bypass the cabinet and use IR’s but I have no idea what that means
No you do not need to buy AmpliTube 4 to use these models. You can purchase the MESA models/collection and use inside AmpliTube Custom Shop (the free version).
Is there any chance that someone knows why do I hear a clean signal too from amplitube 4 when opening it in pro tools 12? The amplitube 4 app works just fine when I open it up from it's launcher, it only does this when in pro tools. Anybody any suggestions to fix the problem?
great video! but how did you get it to sound so clear?? I just downloaded it and it;s awful... makes a loud high pitched squeal the entire time I use it, even on clean channels.
Sounds like you may have an open loop in your input and output. If you are using an audio interface, please make sure you are plugged into its Instrument/Hi-Z input and that you have input and output levels on your interface (and in AmpliTube) set at levels where the level is strong but not going into the red (clipping). If you still have problems, our support staff are happy to help you directly at www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support Thank you.
If you have a guitar for lets say 200-300€, and use this vst-plugin. Do you get great sounds? How much does the guitar matter if you think about the quality of the sound?
hi ola!! maybe you'll show us how to install properlly this thing? and if i have already an amplitube 4 custom shop can i play thru it or i need amplitube4 at first? thanx.
