Soundwise

Loved the demos of this plugin. Fender amp sim this good is a must have. Oh, why am I a guitar player?

This demo is quite a bit better!

I should've stated that this is my personal opinion expressing my personal impression and should be taken with a grain of salt. Sorry for not being considerate. That being said, I'm not talking about fidelity of the sound source, but rather the character of tone. Back in the day I had been using early COSM based BOSS m-fx and, occasionally, first gen Zoom digital FX. They weren't great back then but kind of useable. I can recognize that character easily. Contemporary m-fx have come a long way since then, that's why I think it's not cool to not match modern standards. YMMV.

THE most horrible sound demo for 2020. Reminds me of what digital products sounded like in the 90s-early 00s. No wonder Code series of amps was a disaster.

I use NF plugs occasionally. They make things sound very "musical", so to say. Not on par with the newest offerings from top developers, but still hold their own fairly well.

Vadim Taranov amp sims were previously available only in 32-bit. Now there are 64 bit versions. Gotta give 'em a try. Also, there is a take on Friedman, definitely worth checking out.

If there'll be a group buy this year, it might as well be centered around ST4/Syntronik libraries. I prefer not to invest my money into the company's business, unless I'm absolutely confident what I'll get for this.

I second that.

The man went all the way from selling BSIAB clones to the software plugins. How cool is that! Kudos to Brian!

I assume you use auto gain input and output adjustment knobs to set your levels right. There is also a setting for you pickup output. If you set it correctly, you'll get the most natural responce from this amp sim. For reference on pickup output voltage use DiMarzio pickup catalog.

MEGA Bundle - Forever License would be sweet...

I'm not in the mood for buying software products these days, but this comp is worth $15 for sure.

They are very good, if you are OK with the baked-in cab/mic setup.

I'm not into metal head-banging thing, maybe that's why GR5 version of this amp is still the best for me. Even though demos of this plugin remind me of the raw, brutal roar of the 5150 head. Never liked it anyway.

You wear it on your wrist, right? Wonder, what we'll have to wear on our foreheads in not so distant future.

Same here, although v2 works fine in Reaper.

I always liked his amp sims. Now I tried his keys and let me tell you, this man has really got a good ear! I love the sound of this instrument, particularly, Rhodes and Clavinet libs.

So far I only demoed the TrainWreck knock-off sim and really like. 10 out of 10 in my book.

Interesting indeed! Eventide style chorusing is what I love using for guitar tones, clean and lead alike.

I find this is true not only for bass amps, but other studio processors like comps and EQs. Although better is subjective, as IK plugins still sound awesome.

Haha! No matter how many people dislike these amp sims, tone like this inspires me to play for hours and hours. The only thing that turns me off is the intro price. I'll wait for a sale and get these ASAP.

Great sounding demos! Will keep an eye on these.

Great sounding classical guitar is what I need/want ATM. Too bad, we can't do the shopping off-line. Gotta stay home and wait to see what the future holds.

They've had this tempo adjustment for quite some time. Not really sure when it was introduced first, but it's definitely not new. The track is, the functionality isn't. They should've fixed/revamped their AQ feature, as it's barely useable.
