Not secret anymore..at least not after posting on this forum Saw a few comments that for 80/90’s sounds these amps are awesome but they do have a warning about underperforming in studio one and ableton live so they recommend trying out demos extensively first if using those DAW’s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Bruce Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Exactly! They're good developers who say it's a secret to their existing customers, but are willing to share it with you all please. NRQ's accompanying IR is good.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I also gave Euphoria a test spin and was quite impressed with it. Might just get this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzroy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Tried it, too. To my ears, it's quite responsive, cleans/crunch are decent, effects so-so. You can tell the same people are behind Audio Assault and Mercuriall: UI is pretty terrible, even the bugs are the same! To me, it feels way unpolished and overpriced, but good enough that it might be getting somewhere, someday. Disclaimer: I don't take into account heavy/metal sounds here, because I never know how to evaluate them. As a blues/(soft) rock guitarist and to the despair of my shredding brethren, I suffer from a persistent bias in that I believe heavy distortion is the big equalizer, and I can take any decent high-gain amp sim (say, a Nembrini), feed it some nice IRs and maybe tweak it with a good EQ/compressor, and make it sound like any other 'great' high-gain amp sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Audio Assault bass plugin I bought a few days ago, which has the same audio settings UI. They both work fine in Reaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your samplerate , some standalone software are really peaky about that , so try changing those sample rate values and test ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Interestingly, I only have used it in standalone mode. The only issue I have is the gui is a bit too big ('medium' is the smallest setting) and it takes up the whole screen. Other than that, it works fine (sample rate is 48Hz and buffer size 256 with 5.3 ms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only standalone amp sim that I can't run though, so there's that. The UI is terrible (Audio Assault's Duality, probably from the same team, is even worse). Kinda' makes Neural DSP's stuff feel cheap in comparison Edited August 11, 2020 by fitzroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensconced Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Did they ever fix up the need to reauthorize after every major Win 10 upgrade? They said they were going to, but the last time I tried to fire one of them up it wanted me to reauth, so I just couldn't be bothered. I own them all except this latest one, but the fact that I run into the reauth thing when I go to fire them up probably speaks to how often I have had a desire to run them. I noticed in the ChangeLogs for the latest versions of the other Amps it says under Improvements, 'Copy protection code' so maybe they did fix it.
