+Robert Baker Thanks Robert!

P.T. should've answered back "MOST....MOST???"

Thanks so much!

Thanks!!!

do you end up using the plugin more now? I am just looking at buying a new amp...but honestly the tech has changed so much in recent years I am wondering if it is worth it for recording

@@anth495 this is literally always my experience. This is why I am going back to real amps. Some of them are so close now, but the top end never sounds right. I would rather have 2 great tube amps and just use those, rather than dozens of plugins, none of which I am totally happy with. That said, the softube blues breaker was the one that impressed me the most. I also think this - if they were that close, the manufacturers would show a side by side with the real thing,.

@@CarlyonProduction I hear you about going back to real amps, don't have that luxury anymore and with complaining neighbors close by so using plugins is my only option, I find if an Amp Simulation have a harsh top end to begin with then it is usually very difficult to EQ it out or it won't sound as natural, sometimes the harsh top could be from overloading the amp' sim input stage as they all have their sweet spot as some don't have enough head room so they overload easily, I usually go for - 10 dB and then fine tune it from there, the other thing could be the amp cabs they use, I do seem to get good results from Kuassa amps which are really cheap and to my ears sound more organic, bought them years ago and they serve me well , they seem to get the top right and have a nice open sound, their amp sims aren't based on specific amps, I agree they should show a side by side comparison. Also I never use the noise gates built into the amp sims as they tend to cut of the notes, I put a noise gate after the amp sim if I have to use one.

@@anth495 I feel you buddy. I know it is an expensive option, but I just ordered a Suhr reactive load so I can plug straight in and use softies new celestion cab/ir plugin. Im sure I will get some fantastic results this way. But you are on to something with Kuassa - these are absolutely some of the best amp sims out there! Also I would give a nod to softubes blues breaker.....that thing is very impressive. I dont know if it is still on sale, but it was 50 bucks last weekend. The other ones I like are the fender 2 collection from amplitude - if you are into old school tweed sound - these are the best models of those IMO. Amplitube Brian May is also one of the best ac30 out there IMO.

@@CarlyonProduction I have the Softubes Blues Breaker and it is very good, the only thing is that I have to use an EQ to open up the sound more, it's a bit too bottom heavy I find, kind of the opposite from the harsh top end to my ears but may be a different experience for others, I've heard a few really great demos on the Blues Breaker, The other amp simulation software you mentioned are quite good, after years of using all kinds of amp simulations it's kind of like chasing a mirage as sometimes the tones are there and other times it's a struggle as to when I play on my real Marshall there is hardly any tweaking to get my tones.

Thank you Henrik!

Hey, thanks so much! Glad you like it enough to actually transcribe it!

Thank you!

Thanks! Glad you dig!

Thank you!!

Thanks!

+David Case Yes! that's what i found too! :)

+joseph guidry thank you sir

Thank you!

Tanks Fred!

The processing takes place inside the Apollo with no noticeable latency as long as you use it inside the UAD console. makes it really fun to play!

I.mainly used a Apollo Twin in this vid (at home). In my studio- Apollo 8

Not a signature, but this is a classic S with a roasted body and neck

Mainly a Sony a6000

+northof50now You have to use a UA interface with these plugins- or one of their cards- Check out details at Uaudio.com

+Pete Thorn - Thanks for the reply Pete. Love your channel, albeit [as a new player] most of it goes over my head. Any chance of getting Jim Campilongo on one of your shows with Tim Pierce?

Yes!

+absinha6209 There's lots of options with mis, eq etc so you just gotta tweak it!

You could use Mainstage to do that i think.

No! You are really just hearing the plugins.

A couple days usually!

Pete Thorn hey Pete it Kinda sounds like christian contempry Músic i play at church at the begining....Great playing...

It's a good un!!!

I use em both! I used the UA Marshall in a demo I completed today (for the CKK Qcat) and I use the reactive load every day.(of course running into the UA Apollo so I still use it no matter what)

Pete Thorn Pete Thorn hey Pete which Marshall in the ckk demo...sounds great.

frazze toth that’s it...guitar into UA

Looks like the mini dirty Shirley to me.

It's a mini Dirty Shirley I was checking out, nice little amp!

I agree that the price is kinda ridiculous in comparison to CODE. But we need to keep in mind that these have different applications and most importantly are aimed at different markets. CODE is produced in massive volumes which brings down the price. The plugins are for a niche market with way fewer sales. I bet it wasn't cheap to hire Tony Platt and fly in those vintage amps either.
