@Standbackforscience 4 года назад

Pretty good amp - I tried the free version only. It's main strength imo is that it works really well on the low end - it keeps both its clarity and "chunk", even at very fast palm mute picking, which is where most amp sims turn to mud. The high end sounds kinda thin, but the general gain of this amp tends to the dry side, so that was expected. Pairing it with another sim like a TSE X50 helps to fill that in.

@magnusbruce4051 4 года назад

I've been playing around with the free model since it came out (it didn't have reverb on it back then!) and I've made a few observations, but other people's mileage may vary. 1) A lot of gain. Like seriously a LOT. Even when pulled down to 1 it can be too much gain for what I want. As a consequence, I find it hard to get the detail of what I'm playing to come through. It won't be helping that I'm playing a HSS strat, though, so that one is partially on me. I can't really get it to chug in the way other people can, but again, I'm playing a strat in standard tuning. 2) The EQ controls aren't quite as influential over the sound as I would have expected. 3) The built in cabinet sim works better for this amp than any cab sim I've got (e.g. Glenn's Revv v30 and some stuff I bought from Ugritone recently) 4) It sounds great when combined with the emissary. 5) The noise gate is a great feature. The room I'm in has all sorts of sources of electrical interference, and my guitar doesn't have those new noiseless Fender single coil pickups. Overall, I prefer the emissary and I use it on pretty much every track somewhere, but I do still try out this amp often as it's worth putting it on a track and seeing how it fits. So, I'd still definitely recommend people at least download it. It's not exactly going to waste your money given that it's free!

@InsaneCarville 4 года назад

I've never used this one but I may have to do a shootout with the free module vs emissary. I myself am not a shred heavy/metal player but have gotten use out of emissary and feel like I can work my way around these gain heavy issues. If I can't, then I won't bother you know?

@timcarstensen9951 4 года назад

I have recorded a ton of demos with it and absolutely love it. I have 5 or 6 of the neural plugins and honestly prefer this one more often than not. It handles third party IR amazing and I will even run my Savage Drive from Airis into my interface to tighten it more. Big fan of this plugin and the price, thank you ML!

Gordon Beck it’s a little fuzzy, but it mixes easier than the usual amp sim “fizz”. Also, don’t use the noise gate on the pedalboard. It works like a charm, but it steals your tone also. Just a hair of the Reverb pedal smooths out the fuzziness. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

@spaceexpireaudio666 4 года назад

@Khunvyel 4 года назад

For all the beginner guitarists out there who say " *but Glenn, I downloaded it and I still sounds crap!* "... and you're positive that it's not your playing that messes everything up? Then you might need to look at your guitar. If it sounds thin and unpronounced, which also might happen with active pickups, you might need to RAISE them so the strings distort closer to the magnetic flux field, giving you a stronger signal. If you use passive pickups, it could be you have "weak sauce" pickups, and they've been degaussed over time or never had the proper field strength to begin with. This can be fixed by remagnetizing the pickup when you remove them to gain access to the magnet at the bottom. If you have too much bass all over the place, it can be a combination of lowering the pickup height (aka moving the pickups further into the body, away from the strings) and remagnetizing. Picks are also always important. If you're playing your 0.60 dunlops... you might want to go a little thicker than that. Picks that are too thin cannot produce enough string displacement, producing weak signals. Pick material also plays a role. Some picks are stiffer at .60 than others at .72

@AgathiusMusic 4 года назад

Nothing that can't be fixed with EQ. I don't own a high end guitar but I manage to get a decent sound from amp sims cause the trick is EQ. EQ tricks can make a 200$ guitar sound like a 2000$ one.

@Khunvyel 4 года назад

@@AgathiusMusic Let us stick to the topic in the context of metal, just to make sure we're on the same page. EQ *cannot* add a sharper attack. If you boost the highs with the intent to make the attack snappier, then you are also increasing all the distortion noise and all the other harshness while you are still trying to fix a weak signal. this is clearly not the same result. Only removing mud doesn't equate to a CLEAR signal. If you want the attack to be more pronounced and actually increase the clarity (not just riding a compression trick to fake the transient to be louder by squishing everything else past it more silent), you'd need a transient designer. Good luck trying to teach the transient designer of a heavily distorted guitar where the impact actually starts and where it ends, especially when you have a weak signal. A cheap guitar is not a BAD guitar. Especially when you buy new. However, if you buy used, and has been played a lot, there is de-gaussing. This is what causes "vintage" pickups to sound warm. Because they're degaussing over time and with increased playtime due to magnetic field distortion of the strings acting upon the charge. A substantial amount of beginners buy used. Next up; a thicker/stiffer pick is going to translate more force onto the string. More force on the string means more movement. More movement means a stronger signal. Stronger signal means you need less gain. Less gain means less noise. Less noise means more clarity. In addition to that you can strike the strings a bit harder too, and if you think they go out of tune as you hit the string, then aim for a step thicker gauge to amplify the principle of acting force. Oh and what I forgot to mention; picking hand position. If you try to pull in your fingers towards the palm a little and experiment with the placement of hte hand on the bridge, you can pick closer to the bridge, making the sound brighter due to more harmonic content. You cannot add harmonic content with an EQ without sounding artificial, and just throwing a saturation plugin on an already distorted metal guitar will amplify the noise just as hard, unless you really know how to work with saturation plugins. And when you do, then you don't have problems with a weak signal to begin with :) EQs are not the magic bullet to everything. Just like you cannot fake a real cabinet by "EQ curving the impulse response". There is more to the cabinet sound than just that. If you can fix your stuff in Ampsims with a bit of EQ, then it means your signal is not weak. Ampsims still have their own problems, but they are a great tool for beginners to get a satisfactory sound of their stuff :)

With this simulator things like training your ear to listen for quality IR's, worrying about mic placement and stacking a great tone won't hinder him to begin with. Yes, these are incredibly important skills to learn, but this amp sim gives his ear a "goal" to work toward when building tones - instead of spending years going through trial and error to finally realise what you should be listening for. 10/10, would recommend and fuck you Glenn, from Australia

I just put a little bit of the Soundtoys Cristalyzer to give it an Eventide H3000 kinda harmonizer effect and that was it, i got myself a kickass chorusy rythm guitar sound. By the way, the guy who sent you the GK 2000 CPL contacted me through my demo video for the 2100. I'm SO excited to hear your take on that amp! When is that video coming out?

Dude! Sold! I love Emissary too but I have had a hell of a time finding the right IR's to go with it (yes I tried Lancaster too) also trying to pull down the harsh frequencies was a bit of a pain, but I did get it there. But this thing sounds pretty killer.

Dude go check out the zeta ir pack. It’s totally free. There’s a download link in their video for it. The bogner 2x12 pairs really well with the ignite sim

Dethrone Ignite Emissary, agreed. Dethrone Amplitube (free version), not so sure. Then again, metal isn't my main focus. I'll have to give it a proper shootout next time I'm working on something more neck-injury-inducing.

Hey Glenn, can you make a video on the so called "Pultec Trick" on guitars? Very interested in how that works.

@jesseyasaitis9036 4 года назад

He did a while back. Look back at his previous videos. It's there somewhere. I used it and holy shit does it do something cool!

Imo Emissary is still the king of free high gain VSTs. This one is too fizzy and too vintage-y and not to mention Emissary is versatile af with its multiple channels, tube variations, bias adjustments etc. BUT! This one is still super beginner friendly with its all in one interface. Emissary is more advanced and kinda geeky and needs additional VSTs (an overdrive VST in front of it and an IR loader after etc) and that can be somewhat overwhelming for beginners. So I can see the appeal of this. But it can't come even close to Emissary in terms of tone imho.

Glenn, you can hit the IR font and load an Impuls in it, its basicly a Impuls Loader. Greetings

2:55 NGL Glenn, that was the weakest pinch-harmonic I've ever heard.

@heresjonny666 4 года назад

He had the noise gate too high, it's very aggressive and backing it off gives you sweet squealies. :)

@camdenwyeth316 4 года назад

Amp Sims will do that. It's not really the players fault most of the time

@michaelgarcia2050 3 года назад

As others have said, the gate cut off that harmonic. You can hear it choking it off.

The second one he did would make a cool vg sound effect tho

That’s a really nice app. These sims keep getting better.

the free version is a total steal, it´s my go to when doing demos, almost no setup needed!

@ray1ashwin 2 года назад

Only get this if you want a stiff tight riff and rhythm and forget about the vibratos and dynamics.it doesnt react to your guitar volumes or react like a real amp.Im not hating on it but simply putting out facts cos i bought it as soon as it came out because im a huge fluff fan and the tone also seemed right and very tight but after few times of playing,i started to realize it simply doesn't give a proper reaction of your playing so i had to go right back to waves super prs models which must be the best amp plugin that reacts n sounds identical to the amp it was designed after.it has no drawbacks.may be the only weak point is its included cab sims but if you discard its included cabs and use 3rd party plugins I guarantee you,it feels and sounds like exactly the real thing.I also recommend to use good noise gate plugin cos its included noise gate is very average.
