Video

Not that good I must say.

Sweet

You demo a pack for sale that anyone could easily get the same tones by dialing in a model of a Fender vibrolux or twin reverb in about 2 minutes? this is nothing special at all.

Sounds thin and weak...........

Awesome

Nam has been updated so now a few conclusions of the video are not up to date

Wow, those alternating streams of the same sequence is a GREAT way to compare them... probably the best I've seen anyone do on here.

😝 *Promo SM*

Dude, that's absolutely perfect! I bet if you paired it up with the John Petrucci Tone Mission IRs it'd be even that much better!

I have bought other Petrucci profiles,and they aren't even close to the sound I am getting from this profile..Excellent work Stefan

God bless you for stopping by this comment, and may your entire family prosper in all areas

Damn, I'm just getting into the preamp rabitt hole and this is amazing. I'm considering going amp-less.

You’re using the Mark V DI with an IR?? 🤦‍♂️ Mark Vs normally sound way better than this, not to mention how many sounds you can get out of this amp that the Mooer can’t do. This video is deceiving.

Nice profile. Is there any discount ?

Is PWC still in operation ? I noticed there's no sale discount this summer. Will it be any when black Friday come ?

I personally just prefer amp-only caps vs full rigs. The ones I have tried sound flat or not as lively. Not as bad as a non-IR cab sim that uses some filters to create a bad cab emulation, but it's similar. Lacking resonances and reflections of the speaker inside the cabinet. Much prefer the Pre and Poweramp to be captured then use external IR. Plus, way more flexible tonally. Someone might have the best gain character ever but ruin it with a nasty fizzing cab and mic setup. Excellent compare btw.

NAM sounds like the cab-sim is off, something doesnt seem right here

Proteus sounds most accurate to me, NAM sounds considerably brighter than the original for some reason. Did you switch the cab-simulation off?

I love the sound of the Mooer! Of course a real Mesa Boogie Mark series would be sick as hell but since I'm on a budget right now I've been looking into these Micro Preamps again. I used to have a Cali Mk 3 but got rid of it because the gain wasn't right. This video sounds close, but in your experience is the 017 tight enough for metal without an additional boost? Not looking for crazy gain, but stuff like Metallica would be perfect

What about St. rock Amperium NNM?

Impressive that they would be so close to each other! I may look out for that one now. btw, could you do a comparison between a mooer cali MKIII and the original or the Duel Rectifier vs Mooer's version...?

Where can I find the best Mesa Boogie Mk series especially the Mark 4 sounds for the Tone X. Anybody with any suggestions please let me know. Thanks

I bought an HX Stomp XL right after firmware version 3.50 came out. I haven't yet felt the need to buy a Tonex to improve the amp/cab modeling. Then again, I only dabble in guitar, so I don't have a collection of vintage amps and cabs as a reference to compare with the models in the HX Stomp. I do realize that modelling is not perfect, but it has really improved over the past few years. Thanks for working hard to improve the quality of everyone's captures!

I appreciate that you tested the decay. Another tell tale sign of modeling is the sound of a held, distorted low chord. The worst sound like a zipper, an unnatural buzzing that is real noticeable when layering tracks.

NAM sounds awful without a Cab....That's why its there. This smells a little of disinformation a month later.

Киша нарубил, лол

Simple solution is to use a surface pro out to a audio interface like my Motu M4, then not only can I play what effects amp and cab combination I want, I can also record !! Not only that, using the touch screen, I have easy access via Cubase Live or Ableton Live etc to all my presets at my fingertips without any restrictions !! Why needs dedicated hardware? waste of money

NAM sounds a lot brighter and has some hi freq stuff going on, should be able to see it in an EQ spike.

Ого, король и шут, удивлен))

I don't own Kemper or ToneX, just enjoying the tones.. might be looking at getting a ToneX at some point though. Will you be expanding your tone packs for all of these DT albums to ToneX? The idea of picking up a DT pack for ToneX is really appealling.. I understand it's a lot of work and time consuming. My fave Petrucci tones are Live Scenes in New York, but even the albums of Awake, Images and Words, SFAM or even Six Degrees.. I mean they are all great, just different flavors. To simplify my question.. do you plan on making other DT tone packs, or eventually a big mega pack with lots of albums for ToneX?

Excellent comparison … major thanks!

Loved it, I´ve just bought it, I´ll try it later in the evening! thanks

Great vid, thanks. Exactly what I needed. I'm looking at the IK i/o one. Comes with tonex and will definitely use NAM.

"Promo sm"

Great vid. thanks.

Thanks for posing this. Everything sounded virtually indistinguishable but what about clean sound?

Man, it flat out copied that Amped Roots plugin lol I wonder if there could ever be legal issues that come up, not trying to pick on you, I have seen lots of people doing it, and I know its fine, just wondering about the future out loud. This is a very useful video especially for me, my main amp is a Mark V. Still something I like about playing a real amp, but its also really nice to be up in your neck in awesome tones via captures. I have not been able to get the free software to work that well, probably my fault, but I have been enjoying Tonex, so its all good.

Very interesting video and comparison. I've been watching NAM videos for a couple weeks, and just started watching Proteus videos. I liked your comparisons, and shot audio clips switching between the different sources made it much easier to listen for differences. Thanks

wtf is this shite music lol

I couldn't tell the difference between the real amp and any of the modelers including NAM. In a mix, I doubt anyone could in a blind test.

Fully agree with you and ...I reckon that Tonex + Amplitube 5 (or better Aplitube 5 with Tonex) is a great working combination ....the others still need a shoulder for the FX side and if NAM is already CPU intensive then things my get harder. Let's wait and see. Then you've learnt the mistakes you've done in the first instance but not many did so that we have today a huge numer of rubbish profiles around with NAM ...it seems that everybody is now rushing to produce NAM models even without knowing exactly how to get a decent result and they even dare to make money not selling but "requiring" donations.... of minimum 20 bucks :-(. So be aware of vultures flying around the NAM opportunity ....

Nam sounded awful. The other two were very good.

Great video, for me the Proteus sounded much closer to the original amp than NAM, but all sounded very close and great!

Fantastic video. Thank you for all the hard work.

A revised comparison is online now. The issue with the NAM was the wrong frequency on the demo tracks. It must be 48 kHz. Check it out: czcams.com/video/cQwFk79SE_U/video.html

Nicely done. Nice graphics and editing. I was very excited when Tonex came out as a pedal, but I think IK Multimedia has got it backwards, they should have released an Amplitude pedal with Tonex recording as an optional software add on. I want effects as well as amps and cabs.

Developer of NAM has done his best to let people know that its meant for modeling the amp only. Lots of people have tried to model their amp+cab anyways. Some folks have good results and others do not. Just know that they are going to be adding an algorithm that IS made for "full rig" modeling but it isnt released yet.

The problem I have with these videos is that it all doesn't matter. What did hendrix do with a simple fuzz pedal straight into a fender amp? First you won't hear it in the mix, second are you making music or are you fidgeting over controls? Every time I got a new piece of gear that could do a b or c I ended up studying and fidgeting with the controls and no longer making music. so, I sold all that equipment and don't buy alikes ever again. All 3 amp models will do fine on a record, in a mix you won't know. Do they inspire you to play is what matters.

будь как дома путник, я ни в чем не откажу, множество историй коль желаешь расскажу!

Well the Tonex slayed!
