@@danymalsound hang on, didn't Amplitube and Guitar Rig have this from way back in like 2008?! Maybe I'm wrong but I know a lot of guitar plugins had this option at least 15yrs ago
This thing is just insane! Last year my friends from Fleshgod Apocalypse came to my town and after the show I was wondering what amp they are using cause the sound was just crushing. The answer? The original version of Bogren Digital. Both guitarist, just one laptop, straight to PA and to their in-ear monitoring. I was blowned away!
nice try homie, this is the Kazrog Ampcraft sim decked out as a one knob, the whole technology has been out for almost a decade yet these punks got together cause the market for plugins is so saturated, especially sims, they cant sell plugins any more so the lying is now a norm
One of the few OG amp sims that still hold up against the modern ones. It's not the oldest one per se, but the original free X50 has a decade under it's belt.
Yup I got the 66o6 -- Not for the VST but for the standalone to practice guitar on. The riff recorder, tuner, and metronome are total wins. I got my burn practicing my downpicking and a few trippy licks. Such an awesome tool. The lack of knobs makes it less distracting so there's less tweaking, more playing. Minimal, simple, and humble. I love it. I can say, if you're not the kind of guitarist with guitars and gear cluttering your space and you only like having one or two guitars and a small handful of your favorite pedals etc. this is a great amp sim to buy. Minimalism rules. Guitarists are more powerful this way, you get to focus on what matters. IMHO it's about what the money can't buy, like discipline on that metronome lolz :D
The Rec function is actually amazing! Sometimes riffs just comes when you jam and having to load up your DAW and fight with it is not necessarily something you want at that point and then you resort to your phone or something instead. I wish more plugins would have this. I used to write so many riffs on my small Boss Loopstation back in the day and bring it to band rehearsal.
The 5169 is, no lie, possibly the best vst I've ever used for metal rhythm guitar. It's absolutely idiot proof... the simplistic approach is good if you're like me and can easily fall down OCD rabbit holes malding over mic positions, pedals, EQ knobs, amp switches, virtual mic positions, which included impulse response to use, etc. Just. One. Fucking. Knob. It would be a problem if it sounded bad, but it sounds terrific. It slotted comfortably into one of my mixes with minimal EQ adjustment, and it is right up there with my favorite guitar vst's like Neural DSP's Archetype: Petrucci and Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite. I scored it for a measly 25 dollars, but even at the full price of 50 dollars, it's a steal.
As someone who has spent years grinding away trying to find my perfect tone with little success, I hated the idea of getting such a good sound in seconds. But I've got to hand it to Jens Bogren, he's come up with 3 (4 if you count the RevC) of the best metal amp plugins I've ever tried. Am I a bit disappointed that I'm happy using a plugin that ignores my years of pain? A bit. Am I willing to forego that and have a guitar sound crafted by one of the legends of metal music production? It would be silly not to. Besides, switching out the cab changes the sound significantly enough that we all won't end up sounding the same.
I'd love to see you use a £50-£200 audio interface and show us how to make the most of a range of plugins ranging from free to pricey. I.E ML Roots to Neural DSP Gojira etc and all in between. Inflation is precluding most of us on a tone quest from being able to get there or experience what's on offer. We need your help with this Ola. x
I’ve been searching for Eddie’s 5150-era tone for three years using Helix amps and this fuckin thing blows all of my effort away and does so beautifully lol I love it!!!!
I really like these. I tend to just dial in my amps and leave them anyways. If I want to change the tone I'll swap out IR's before messing with amp settings. So the one knob format works really well in my opinion. And these sound great, on par with much more expensive plugins that have lots of ways to make it sound terrible.
Don’t know what you were playing towards the end when the camera was just on you but damn that was a tasty sob right there ola you are impressive buddy
WTF!! I thought you were only coming into my timeline on Sundays! Ahh Fucc.. can never get enuff Ohla.. thanks for the extra videos lately. Keep it up!!
Did a comparaison with THU to see if the amp and preamp stage were better sounding. Not at all. They seem the same. This an excellent "no brainer" plugin however
Honestly I think these are not just "pretty good for the money." I wanted to love the Neural sims (have the SLO and Fortin) but my god the amount of noise, and the harsh transients. If I want to EQ the Bogren I can just add an EQ, with whatever centre frequency I want. This is what I loved about my JCM heads, the EQ barely works anyway; they just sound good and I play them.
I tried selecting both input channels on my Steinberg UR12 Interface on this amp sim and EVERY TIME I did it, both input and output would go to none. Does anyone here have a solution to that? It is starting to frustrate me getting this to work
Geeez, I never got anything even close to that sound with any 5150 simulation ever. Doesn't matter what IR I'm running it through. Does anyone have any advice on how to dial up a 5150 in order to get a tone close to this?
can u tell if it's light on DSP? would be cool to keep use this on live playing sessions with other resources and not worrying about DSP. Becuse playing with neural stuff and other DSP hungry stuff can really push my system.
