  1. Website to open a ticket seems busted too. I've been a massive proponent of TONEX (own multiple pedals as well as the software). But this was an unbelievable disappointment taking it out of the box and it won't even turn on after waiting well over a month after the initial pre-order was supposed to close.
  2. The free version was just a teaser. The full version was something like $300 at one point and then kept going down in price. Enough modules to be powerful but always felt like a reskinned tracks with reduced control. Rather powerful though but could be CPU hungry depending on modules used.
  3. TONEX with the Mesa Reference collection has a very spot on Enter Sandman patch/tone. (Other option is free TONEX and search Tonenet for something similar. With so many Mesa captures out there for free one has to be fairly close) That said, I'm not sure what vst to drive it with as a guitar player I haven't seen VSTs that seem to translate to what actual guitar playing sounds like. But a simple riff like enter sandman any advanced beginner can pull it off reasonably well with that one preset with Tonex. Lots of metal guitarists can't get anyone to want to hear them play. Honestly you could probably get someone to put down a simple track for you for free or close to it.
  4. The plugins check for updates and display a notification automatically when you actually open and use them. Given some of these "recent" updates were 2 years ago........ (I really like Audiority stuff, though the CPU hit is pretty high for a few of them - they also have this magic analogness to them that I is impressive. (The Echorec one for example I wish it was in a pedal format with that sound and feature set, or even this Tube Modulator would make a good canidate. While there are better sounding vibes (real ones) it is the only one in the box I've thought gets pretty realistic and having a really good tremolo in the same package is unique as a real Vibe circiut is quite different from a trem circuit (thus they don't make it in a dual function pedal outside the digital realm.
  5. They gave this away for free in Oct 2024 - so opportunity to grab it for those that didn't get it before.
  6. I expect you are in for a wait. You missed the pre order price and seems unlikely they would drop to that again in the near term
  7. I think Ringo was a very good drummer and certainly a fit for the Beatles music (though in many ways overshadowed by the talent of the rest of the band) But I don't think he was one of the top all time greats (pretty much any top 5 guitarists list is going to have Gilmour on there) he would be on a broader list of best drummers of all time. Gilmour (one of my personal favorites) wasn't the guitar player on a number of tracks (not just the wall). Animals some of the acoustic tracks as well as Snowy white doing a solo on the 8 track version of Pigs on the Wings. On the wall they hired a studio musician to do the classical guitar track "Is there Anybody Out There"
  8. David Gilmour didn't even play all the guitar parts on the Pink Floyd albums (and unlike someone like Ringo, he is considered by many to be one of the best guitar players of all time). (And David even played some of the Bass parts instead of Roger)
  9. Wes Montgomery was a monster player....but even he had some gigs where he was doing the "air guitar" to a pre-recorded track.
  10. I had some issues with previous v3 but haven't put the new one though the paces yet. That said, this company has updated the product like no other VST maker (ok, maybe Melda can get some credit too), so I trust it will get stable enough if it isn't already. I had a few random freeze and crash on a stable, high power machine using 3rd party stable vsts in it with prior versions.
  11. Anyone else get this? (edit, forgot the ml part at the end, looks like a machine learning report - but makes we wonder if the process needs to be modified in the installers to avoid this)
  12. I was going to post the same. I grabbed it but many of my favorite artists and bands literally have nothing or very little. Bands like Phish and the Dead with insane output there is very little offered. Other bands like Paramore have nothing but I'm betting was pulled because of copyright request as they have some official ones on the market.
  13. The Amalgam REX offers an Amalgam created Marshall pre rolls cab IR at no additional cost. But I also use some Tone Junkie AiIRs including similar Marshalls with PreRolla 30s if I want different mic and tonal options. I have others as well such as the ML sound lab Pre Rolla 30s packs and the 70s Giants pack that can work The Wreck is a Trainwreck NOS JM built one (so it is under licence by Trainwreck using Kennys notes and original era parts. I've played 5 Kenny era Wrecks (all 3 models) and for an Express capture I think it sounds and responds about as good as I'd expect for a digital simulation. This isn't like the Tone Junkie Express 60 which wasn't a core Kenny design. While this Amalgam one wasn't made by Kenny directly, it also isn't some random knock off or from the lower cost modern parts option. The Express is my least favorite Wreck model, but even so it is still special compared to other amps. (I will eventually hep release a Ken Fischer made Rocket pack, captures are done...so I have some experience with how they can sound and feel)
  14. I don't think the police can do anything about Guitar Pro the app itself, but I'm sure that copying official tabs would get pulled. I wonder what this guitar lesson site had to pull from the database. A few tabs I opened certainly were not the My Songbook versions or official ones.
