    I seem to recall that Line 6 at one point included a model of their old models because their users liked the old one better than the new and improved one.  Also Guitar Rig has had a SansAmp model for ages.

    Makes sense. NI GR5 includes GR4 mode. Also, original Amplitube and Overloud models are still there. Digitech multi-fx (RIP) used to include a digital model of their 2101 tube-based rack preamp-processor. So, it's mostly up to original manufacturers/developers to offer such models in their next-gen modeller. But I can see why it's a good practice to avoid using older models in new hardware multi-fx units.

  2. Also checked the Celestion Speaker Shaper. Great plugin. Very detailed and precise, yet, since it's on par with WoS and AT5, it brings nothing new to the table. I'd buy it was heavily discounted and if there were more speakers and mics available. Otherwise it's just another interface to what I already have. Yes, you get very creative with this and process your signal through 8x24 Neo Greenbacks. Just ain't the droids I'm looking for.

    That would be a good idea.

    I have had to draw in wheel articulations in the past to simulate a slide from one note to another; very time consuming.

    Indeed. My workaround is to record the real fretless bass, which is a lot easier than programming MIDI if the bass is well written and no rearranging is required. In all other cases I'd prefer a VI over the real thing.

    On kvr forum everytime a new popular plug-in is released it inevitably turns into an aliasing discussion.  Someone always brings out plugindoctor and immediately starts “hearing” aliasing that wasn’t there before hahha.  Usually discussion gets pretty heated after that. It’s one thing to hear it like you did but  on that forum its just so predictable where the threads will go around page 3 hehe.

    Thanks for the explanation.

    Aliasing?

    Maybe it's not relevant to metal and drop tuning players. I don't notice aliasing when playing riffs either, but can't stand that constant whooshing in the background when playing solos. 

    Not familiar with that notorious KVR thingy.

  6. Must admit that I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of these plugins. Last time I checked it was something absolutely useless called Bulldog or whatever. These (I've tried AHM and BlackSun) switch oversampling so seamlessly, I thought this functionality was not implemented. But it is. And it solves that dreaded aliasing problem, that plagues most high-gain amp models. Still not sure whether I really need yet another 5150 style ampsim, but heck, it's only $8 and bundled IRs are excellent!

    thx, will take you up on the offer as i'm sure it will help with the learning curve, completely at your convenience.

    Not at my DAW ATM. Feel free to remind me of this, if I don't upload preset(s) by the end of the week.

    looking for anything to enhance a "3D' sound which is probably more of a room thing (rig+room = the sound). 

    Tried a couple of IR loaders, but got results I liked better by dumping them into Melda's MConvolution, which is why >> MCabinet. 

    I can share some of my MCabinet presets to show how I use their R and W settings, whatever they mean.

    Tried AT4 (CW version?), and now that you mention it, recall their cab/mic options being OK. Did they do something special for AT5? 

    Definitely! AT5 runs circles around AT4 in cab simulation. In fact, cabs in AT4 were the weakest link in the otherwise solid product.

    Might have to consider them as well.

    Overloud's SuperCabinets is one very powerful IR loader. Hopefully, you won't be disappointed.

    still intrigued by the "dynamic" potential

    Looks great on paper, though I still wonder why no one has released a convincing demonstration of dynamic IRs advantages over normal, static IRs.

    FWIW, TwoNotes claim that their virtual cabinets are dynamic. Maybe it's true, but each time I try to use the Wall of Sound plugin, it eventually gets replaced by other options.

    Also worth noting that AT5 cabinets are now beyond excellent, second to none.

    Overloud's SuperCabinet has got Z-Curve which is kinda sorta emulates speaker dynamics. AFAIC, it works with user IRs as well.

    Considering all available options, SpeakerMix seems overpriced. And with its CPU performance, need for further investments as well as not apparent benefits of so called "dynamic IRs" I don't see it being a hit in the already crowded cab sim market.

    So...

    not this?

    https://www.softube.com/celestion-speaker-shaper

    or this?

    https://www.meldaproduction.com/MCabinet?gclid=Cj0KCQiAk4aOBhCTARIsAFWFP9H4tfuXysvjK-cY5xfI18WqN4a4I-RhvZIZlQVC1TCRpegNlHcT2GMaAtQQEALw_wcB

    just started looking into these, got some work to do but any opinions based on actual experience appreciated...

    MCabinet is awesome. I've converted my Celestion IR and Ownhammer collections into MCab presets and use it almost exclusively.

    Suhr PT100

    The ultimate recreation of the high end multi-channel Suhr tube amp with 3 distinct modes and an incredible wide array of tones.

    $149  $29.99

    Is there a way to get it for less than $25 (with $25 voucher)?
