I have Bias Amp 2 Professional and Bias FX 1 Professional. I could upgrade to FX 2 Professional for around 41 USD at JRR and the upgrade from Bias Amp 2 Pro to Elite is currently 50 USD at PG (around 70 GBP all in).

Larry Shelby Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I have Bias Amp 2 Elite, and FX Pro 1, and I can get FX2 Elite for $83.16 or Pro for $41 and some change. Probably the lowest it's ever going to be... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesh Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Those are some very nice prices and I paid a bit more for my upgrade to Elite. Go for it boys, it's worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I’m confused - do you need Bias FX 2 AND Bias Amp 2? What’s the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, PG doesn't have an "All in One" package and have split the amps (Bias Amp 2) with the FX 2. Although I have both, I like using Fx2 as there's plenty of amps and I love fx's.

Bias Amp allows you to tweak and rework ALL of the parameters of the amp, including tubes, transformers, power stage, etc...FX does not. You can only use the Amps in FX "as is". FX contains all of the "outboard gear", i.e. pedals and rack mounts. Those are the main differences. What you can do is "Build your Amp" in AMP, and then export it into FX, giving you your own Amp design, and the FX you want.

Marshall Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks - so if I don’t want to swap out valves and so on, or tweak the amps themselves, FX is an all in one package and the one I should go for? Also, I like the sound of using Celestion IRs, so I’m thinking I need the FX 2 Professional or Elite for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of amps (100) in FX2 and if you can swing for the Elite, I'd get that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is an IR loader and I suspect that if I really "need" Celestion cabs, OwnHammer have them for about $10 The big question for me is whether I go for this as my Go To multi-amp sim solution. I have used S Gear almost exclusively for many years. It's still great, but this PG Bias FX thing seems to take things to a completely new level. "Guitar Match" in itself - wow. S Gear might get an upgrade one day, but meantime it looks as if things have moved on. I was pleased toT pick up the Nembrini MRH810 at 80% off recently. That gave me a Marshall sound that was not obtainable for me in S Gear, and I've just recorded a song with it, so I'm happy with that as a single amp purchase.

Since I have both, it's easy to access/show up. I know the IR cabs specifically came with Bias Amp2 and I can swap them easily, but I'm not sure if they can be swapped with just FX2 alone.

There's a lot to tweak (if that's your thing) but if you don't like to, can get some good sounds with minimal adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent ages on the presets alone with a few tweaks here and there. Some great effects and of course the amps in BA Pro 2 are also ace. I am getting a very pleasing crunch sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hmmm.... I ordered yesterday and still haven't received anything from JRR... I think they've been slow before for me but I can never remember between all the different sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've been slow before for me but I can never remember between all the different sites. I ordered yesterday 5.30pm UK time and the redeem code arrived at 5.54am this morning UK time. So that's just over 12 hrs but it might have been same day for Uncle E as I think he's in California which is 8hrs behind UK. I have had to email them before about delayed serials but they usually reply pretty quickly after that so might be worth a try if you don't hear anything soon.

lawajava Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thank you to all! I had not reviewed these before as they'd been out of price range at times I had thought about looking. This is a great deal! Especially for the FX 2 Elite which is my starting point now with Positive Grid. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 What does Positive Grid have that's lacking in the other Amp Sims such as AmpliTube, Pod Farm, S-Gear, Waves, NI Guitar Rig Pro, Overloud's offerings, etc.? Sorry, I hate asking such lame generic questions like this more that I hate seeing them but the one thing I don't have at the moment is free time so I can't try a demo & check things out for my self. Not implying that PG's stuff isn't great but if it's not going to end up as one of my goto amp sims then I'm just giving my money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
