Mercuriall U530

Free for a limited time

I appreciate your hind.

I managed to find the amplifier box you require in order to use the U 530.

The fact that there are free tweed amps and top-notch speaker imulations available makes it much more interesting to me,cause I dont play  metall guitar .

These,áre  in my opinion, good imulations of the F-sound.

Thanks, Mercuriall

It looks interesting but it only opens in Demo mode for me.

I had to sign into it first, then reopen the plugin and then it worked.

Okay, I signed in and activated but when I try to load a preset it closes. I tried several times to load a preset and it keeps disappearing. Hopefully others will have better luck with it.

The standalone version is crashing, but the plugin inside Cakewalk seems to be working fine. Plenty of distortion for those that are into that. I'll have to fiddle with it later to see if I can dial in a nice subtlety overdriven tube sound.

Interesting.. I didn't install the standalone version at all. I rarely do, as it's always easy to fire up a DAW instead and just run it inside if that, or a host like Gig Performer and then it saves installing all other applications through my computer. But I still would've expected it to be solid from them.

The VST3 worked well for me and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Quite a nice freebie.

For licensing or just inspecting a plugin I use SaviHost
https://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm

I just put a short cut on my desktop and I can drag & drop a plugin on to it and up it pops.
Much quicker than loading a DAW especially since you'll have to run a plugin scan for the DAW to even see it (if it's a new plugin).
There are a couple of plugins that won't run in SaviHost but over 90% of the time it just works.

Savi is quite handy in that scenario. I have it installed still, but don't often think to use it.

For playing guitar though, I just have a guitar stack project and so it loads with a bunch of amps, effects, clean channels, high gain channels and I can just hit monitor on any track to switch between all different tones and types of sounds.  Probably takes an extra 15 to 30 seconds to load the project, as it's got to load Tonex, Neural, Amplitube, etc. but then it's all good to go and a massive timesaver when playing.

Great minds think alike, that sounds similar to what I use for my initial evaluation.

I also have a guitar test project that I use to evaluate & compare guitar amp sims (Tonex, Helix, Amplitube, and anything else I've acquired that I thought was passable).
It gives me a good idea of whether or not a plugin is something I might be interested in actually using.
I really should update the project with tracks from different guitars, different pickups and different playing styles - currently it only has one track a rock rhythm/lead thing probably from my Les Paul using the bridge humbucker; but the project does what it is intended to do. Maybe someday when I have more time.

Speaking of guitar sims - I miss the old Cakewalk DX amp sim. It had limited options but  it got some excellent rock tones that mixed well with recorded guitars/& other amp sims or could stand up on their own.  In listening to some of my old projects it's surprising how good it sounded and this was before I got 99% of the stuff I have now.
