The problem with amp emulations is, they don't make the floor shake, unless your studio monitors are a whole lot better than mine.

@SecretSpots 7 месяцев назад

🎯 BINGO! If you play live gigs like me, you're not caring about "software" in that setting. Studio, of course, but if you're a real guitar player and not just a basement dweller, you'll always need real amps in your arsenal.

@averycooper427 5 месяцев назад

Gotta run it through a flat response amp like a Catalyst or better yet a Power Cab or something although I'd imagine floor shaking territory is reserved for the bassist and the kick drum.

I became a believer in amp sims when I HAD to use Garageband to record for a short period of time, and the amp sim in Garageband gave me some great tones. I didn't want it to be true. But sometimes shit is just true. Real amps are more fun FOR ME, but amp sims have become a really legit tool for creating music.

@e_xcalibur578 7 месяцев назад

Hi glenn your videos are amazing and reliable! I wanted to request if you could do a blind A/B comparison between a real tube amp and an amp sim of that amp or the modelled version of it on modellers like axefx or quad cortex. These days most reviewers don't make accurate comparisons but I have seen you give the realest advice so it would be awesome for guitarists who are looking for a good rig without wasting money

@AmericanNationalist852 7 месяцев назад

Those are already out there. For what it's worth: 22 years playing guitar. 20 on tube amps, but sold them 2 years ago and went digital sims (TH-u and Neural) then 4 months ago got an FM9t paired with an ElectroVoice PXM-12MP, and it has been, without question, the best thing I've ever bought for myself as a guitar player ever.

@ehsanhaq155 7 месяцев назад

Hey Glenn. Regarding throwing away amps and whatnot...I could never do it. I play VSTs and plugins every, single , day. Love em. What a time to be alive. Tonally, it's all the same. In fact, plugins are wayyyy more convenient for recording and whatnot. But the joy I feel when standing in front of my tube amps and cab, in person, is a sensation I absolutely cherish. That's a matter of preference and I keep tube amps like my Engl and Marshall or Orange just for those moments. Love how they respond to pedals and to the touch. But once again, tonally, the listener, will likely not know the difference. And I'm terms of feasibility and versatility, the big tube amps pale in comparison to Axe FX or QC and whatnot. End of the day if I'm recording, it'll be the VSTs anyday 😅

@WackorMiki 7 месяцев назад

Hey Glenn, your content is golden. I really appreciate that. On the subject, the stupid-proof presets world is a double edged weapon as instead of trying to figure out how things work, the great majority of players just want presets, and not the knowledge of how to set it right. At the end of the day, it has its toll like everyone is sounding like everyone else. Also, if the fundamental knowledge of setting a tone is missing, then a serious chunk of the knowledge of sounding good is missing. Especially in live environment, that can make quite a difference. On amps, the modelling vs real gear paradigm has shifted long ago. But no modelling would exist without the real stuff. I think it is a balanced solution to discover a favourite digital amp model and use it whenever it is practical, and after a time get that particular real amp to support companies that are still making them. There are wonderful solutions now'days, for example a 20W JCM800 mini and a suitable 1x12" cab would even fit in a bedroom.

Glenn, love your channel! I am not a metal player but I have the utmost respect for the genre and the incredible players it has produced. I find that with software modelers/profilers there are a plethora of models for the metal player. Not as many models that accurately produce vintage Fenders, AC30's. Matchless, and Dumble. I can appreciate not having to worry about miking an amp and even better not having to haul to it to a gig. But perhaps because I am nostalgic or because my ear is still telling me, for a classic blues rock player my amp sounds significantly better. I bought my first guitar amp in 1976 - Old guy.

I just started a livestreaming improvised looping music project where we're using amp sims on two guitars and a bass for two main reasons. First reason is the wide range of sounds and tones we can get without having to physically switch out amps. The second reason is having a direct signal which, combined with other factors, allows us to have zero stage volume as far as any practical purposes are concerned. There's still some people who talk smack on amp sims, but I converted a 60 year old tube amp snob when he did a livestream with me. He said, "You can even feel the cabinet!" Amp sims these days are so badass. Literally limitless options with a great sound

@smacman68 7 месяцев назад

I haven't gotten totally away from amps, but I have modernized. My rig now consist of a Helix board going into a Thomas Blug Amp 1 Iridium with the foot controller. It's a 100w tube powered amp the size of an EHX multi-effects pedal. 4 channels, effects loop, full tone sections, the works. Fits right on the board. That all goes into a EVH 2x12 cab. Wireless into the Helix, one patch cable between the Helix and the amp, one speaker cable. The cab is on air filled castors so it becomes the cart when moving. With Reaper on my PC and going into the Helix, I have basically a studio setup wherever I want. And it's not just amp plug-ins. There are some fantastic drum programs. I am using the ujam virtual drummer and it is so easy to use and sound great. No, not as good as having a real drummer. But for song writing and demo, it's perfect. It's how I present an idea to my bandmates. And it doesn't argue and get drunk like a real drummer does!

This is really cool. Makes you wonder why more people don’t use these live and forgo amps all together. Btw, I love your channel.

@OldManBadly 7 месяцев назад

I have to say that the sounds are pretty awesome here, both tone wise and control wise. Goota love that, right? For recording, this is awesome. For live, it is even more awesome, mostly because this can be like hauling a whole music store of amps and pedals with you and being able to switch between them on the fly (even mid song). The potential here is great. I was thinking that the AMP companies would be smart to start producing what I think of as "stage blocks", which are amps and cabinets intended to add or take away as little as possible from the actual sound. You know, loud but not distorted, with a wide, flat response curve, and modular, basically something to make your modeled sound loud enough for others to hear. I know in ear monitors are the way to go for the most part, but some people still like to have a loud stage where they can "feel" the music. For them, a powerful and flat response system will be an important part of maintaining the sound. Oh yeah, that and armored computers. You know people be dropping their laptops all the time. Rack mount computers to keep gear heads from slam dunking their PC every couple of shows would be good.

@jimcastile1905 7 месяцев назад

@samtoshner8002 7 месяцев назад

I got my first tube amp and could not get it dialed in. I learned that I would need more expensive pedals to get it to sound how I want. Looking at the cost of getting one single tone, I started looking at alternatives such as a Line 6 Helix or a software based solution. You can get a few tones for thousands of dollars, or all the tones for a thousand or less, without the struggle.

The iconic rifts that made me pick up a guitar, well those I discovered while listening to the radio or through my headphones or at the bar through a PA system and they were amps and cabinets captured by a microphone running thru a pre amp into a mixing board and heavily eq'd... I've recently sold most of my actual amps and invested in some modeling hardware and powered fr cabinets that allow me to have adequate stage volume in contrast with the bass and drums, etc. I've never been happier! My work flow is simple and I can either clone someone else's tone to a T or create my own.... what a time to be playing instruments

@Scarabinomusic 7 месяцев назад

Hey Glenn! First off, I want to thank you for everything you do on your show. You've made me laugh, and taught me many different lessons and perspectives with recording and producing! I agree that amp sims have come a long way! I put my faith in fractal audio with the Axe Fx, touring with it is amazing. I tech for a band called FARSIGHT, all of those guys have Quad Cortex, it's impressive sounding! But you asked, "is it worth it to buy real amps anymore?" Simply, I say yes! As a creative, any sim or real amp can sound amazing with what you're doing, it just depends on purpose. On another note, you can't do short division before you know how to do long division, I think you should spend lots of time playing with a real amp first, especially if you're a new guitar player. I feel that you can't appreciate or even know what a good amp sim sounds like if you never listened to a real one in a room. I believe that every musician shouldn't even touch a DAW until they've been playing their instrument for at least one year anyway. Because that's what we are, people playing an instrument, and we forget that sometimes!

@colelandry9657 7 месяцев назад

@asanseil5553 7 месяцев назад

I don't want anyone taking credit for my own tone. Back in the day, we used to throw pedals, amps, gear, and mics together to see what it would sound like. Who even does that now? Creating an original tone requires this old-school technique. I'm tired of hearing the same tone for most mixes. Creating your own tone is half the fun for someone like myself.

@chuckwinstead5248 7 месяцев назад

It's pretty impressive that you can get amp Sims that sound very, very good. The only real drawback with an amp sim, is that in terms of digital accessibility, they're just not their. As a blind guitar player, the advantage you have with a physical amplifier is that everything you can feel and adjust. On the software side of things, not every developer takes the time to make their stuff accessible. I've tried playing around with stuff like the torpedo cab clone and that was not accessible whatsoever. Maybe as time goes on, developers will work on their digital accessibility to make them inclusive.

My question is, isn't this a good thing? This is assuming that the goal for the submission is to get feedback to become better at mic'ing a guitar cab of course. I would think it's good that they're submitting it to see how they can do it better, because as you've said it's a difficult art to master, and ideally one would want help from someone who has the knowledge of how to best accomplish the task. Thanks for the videos!! :)

Here's the thing about VST amps though...and I absolutely love them... Without dragging your laptop and a bunch of MIDI gear to the gig, how do you replicate the sound live? I spend a lot of time in the studio with my clients dialing in their live sound, and then setting up a VST setup that will replicate THAT. But when I'm working on my own stuff, I'm balls deep in Neural and ML Sound Lab stuff, then I have to try to cobble together something that sounds like it out of amps and pedals (mostly pedals, let's be honest). What do you think is a good work flow for a band sound that puts time into constructing a massive recorded sound then has to replicate that tone on stage?

@sabershenanigans 7 месяцев назад

Very good question! That's a bit of a concern for me at the moment - I'm loving all the options available for home recording, but if I actually achieve my goal of getting a band together to play live, I do worry we'll be limited in our ability to get a good sound from physical equipment (unless I can figure out how to set up an entire live rig through Cakewalk on a laptop!)

We definitely needed some more amp sims, they're so hard to come by these days ...i do like the look of their stuff though,the gui does look pretty badass

Damn good sound. At a damn good price. Any one out there help me out here?...what was the song the bit at 9,44 from. Sounds so familiar but can't place it.

Glenn...What speakers are you using in this setup..thnkd

@debbiehf05 7 месяцев назад

Yup, just saved myself somewhere north of £500 because all I have to do is download some lines of code instead of buying an amp specially boxed in only the best tonewood and packed with the best sounding tubes. Now I can focus my funds into the actual fun part, the guitars. Thanks again Glenn.

Got MLC after trying it out after your review. Great for a weekend warrior just playing at home ! no need for amps or pedals. Way cheaper with sim too ! 🤘 rock on !!

Does it have a preset with a vintage 30 and a sm57?

@Daniel_Batal 7 месяцев назад

Man, that does sound really huge! My only wish is that they'd get better at making amp sims that better replicated the other end of the spectrum more effectively. Don't get me wrong, I'll still plug into an FX 3 for convenience when tracking something simple at home but I'll always bring a 5E3 or 5F4 for actual session work. For those tones, they just don't quite breathe & respond the way real tube amps do at edge of breakup for me, personally. Getting closer every day, though! *fingers crossed*

4:45 I saw that tiny skip in the video where you changed out your pickups, tubes, strings, AND went from mahogany to poplar body. Don't bullshit us! /s ✌💗🤘

Mate, my first amp in 1997 was a used Gorilla 85w with a DS1 Distortion pedal...still have the pedal. It sounded arse(or I did) but was hella loud.

Hey Glenn, you totally should bring the Omega VM-1265 speaker to the show, that sound beyond awesome.

@joekil1278 7 месяцев назад

I go the other way and build me different real 4x12s for getting metal sounds with my 6505+. For quick demos I use toontrack EZMix presets and Line 6 amp sims.
