@Soundwise - I had the same experience- no sound playing single notes. I ran out of time trying to determine my user error. I did watch the Walkthrough vid on Silk (which is of course well done). Single note playing is demonstrated in the Walkthrough. I just need to learn which button to get there.
I've seen something that looked like single not playing, too. Yet, here we are, not able to find a way to do it with this toy "instrument". 😄

Not even if you switch from chord mode to note mode? I would have expected that that's exactly what note mode is there for.
I tried it - deafening silence, unless you press one of the pattern keys.

Demoing Silk 2. Hugely disappointed.
This is not an instrument, but rather a player for built-in midi loops and patterns like strums and arpeggios. Arpeggios, however, have nothing in common with the guitar technique of the same name. Any DAW or MIDI-keyboard can do the same. Instrument page is a joke - you can't play single notes, just chords that have to be either strummed or picked. Although it is possible to play regular guitar arpeggios on the instrument page, I still wonder how playing arpeggios (picking every note) with one hand while holding a chord with another is better than just playing arpeggios? Also, you can't play any embellishments, like grace notes, slurs, etc.
I must mention, that the recorded samples are not great, average at best. 7GB of disk space for something as useless as this piece of software? No, thanks!

It's 49$, not 29$
Patience, my friend. 😄 Takes a few minutes to fact-check and look for prices/details.

$49 for the instrument.
$29 for crossgrade from other UJAM Virtual Guitar instruments.
$19 for upgrade from original Silk.

Compressor plugins are like ampsims - they all basically do the same thing slightly differently, still you always crave them and need "one more".

I won't do business with a company that treats its customers in this manner.
That is very unfortunate. I can name a bunch of companies that dropped support and further development of excellent products. I steer away from such companies no matter how good their current offer is.

It’s basically a saturator with a high frequency eq boost according to some reviewers. It can still be useful obviously, but speakers are more ore less linear so…
Isn't it a ballpark accurate description of things that happen to a speaker when it's overloaded? I assume this plugin is based on accurately measured nonlinearities of the actual cab. Pretty much like an IR resembles a mere comb filter, being somewhat more complicated than that. Or analog EQ emulations that normally go a few steps further compared to a simple digital EQ.

Slightly confused by the various feedback.
So what's the bottom line on this amp sim?
Is it, that if you have ToneX not to bother adding it to your collection?
<sigh> Yeah I could demo it & I will try to do that this weekend, but still value the opinion of the other guitar geeks who haunt this forum.I used to have Laney IRT-Studio. To me this ampsim is a perfect replacement for the actual hardware. I'm not in a rush, though, gonna wait for a discounted price and then get it.

FWIW, the quick and dirty example above was made with 3rd party IRs - Jensen C8R. I used to have two 8" cabinets with these speakers installed. Feeling a bit nostalgic about the gear I had to leave behind. But you certainly can get awesome tones with built-in cabs.

Softube Tape, which is the only 3rd party plugin supporting the Studio One Mix FX, was(is?) on sale by itself and in a bundle for a good price, and that was also tempting.
It still is, but I get your point.

Stop working on something - that's what any true strike is all about.

I am happy for you!
Bummer for me. I've been watching closely for it to go on sale. When I saw this, I was at first pretty excited, now I'm rather disappointed. Oh well.
If it doesn't have to be this set of consoles and you are open to other options, maybe one of the console emulations from this package is good enough? And it's also cheaper. 😄

Dang! I miss my Laney IRT-Studio so much, I might get this. Let's see if Aurora has done a better job for Laney than Softube for Marshall.

With TH-U it shows in the Banks section which 'collection' you have. Select that and it shows what presets/captures it has. From what I have been able to gather and understand, it's like having the amp sims and the ability to play captures all in one. Similar to Amplitube.
Sweet! 😄

I'm also done buying profile bundles. Normally, there's only a handful of usable tones, and it's hard to remember which ones to look for when needed. Presets don't help much either for the same reason - there's too many of them. Modelling is so good these days, that it hardly makes any sense to use profiles on desktops. IMO, of course.

But these freebies are crap! So why strategize?
Thanks for confirming that. I thought it's just me. 😄
On the other hand it means that the generation gap just got bigger. While Xers and Boomers tend to cling on to more traditional, analog-ish stuff, Millennials and Gen Zers are brave enough to explore new ways to process audio. Things that don't work for me, for you or other similar minded folks might work miracles for others.

I thought we were discussing sleeper plugins that are actually worth paying for, especially if you want to get one (or more) of the freebies.

I really like Audiority stuff. Especially their Echorec and their Electric Mistress. Was disappointed with the Bluesbreaker pedal in this bundle though.
That's why it's a good idea to demo stuff first. 😊
FWIW, Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal is the secret sauce in John Mayer's signal chain. Last time I checked, there were not many plugin emulations of this pedal or the entire series, recently re-issued by Marshall.
