What I'm digging about this plugin is that they didn't do the usual thing of trying to make it look like an amp. That's pretty refreshing to see. Granted most plugins are good at giving you a visual cue as to what it's supposed to be emulating, but it's nice to see a break from that trope. Sounds great!
I’ve actually been using this for a month (maybe a little more) and it’s hands down the coolest plug-in I’ve used. Idk if it’s my favorite amp sim, but it’s up there
I love stuff like this, it just helps make things that bit more accessible for us poor people who want to do small projects for ourselves and our friends. I'll definitely be checking it out when I can afford to
So nice to see companies creating unique sounds instead of the 2 decades of emulations we've had so far. Embrace digital for the unique things it can do.
I 100% agree with this philosophy. Why put the same limitations real amps have on amp sims? All of the classic amps have been modeled. I want something different.
@@joeygwood No 100% emulation yet. So there is room for improvement. I mean, why make a purple banana with kiwi flavour, when people only want a delicious banana?
I've been watching your channel for a good while now and i gotta say i love the tips, i wish i wasn't so illiterate when it comes to mixing, i hope to one day find someone who can produce music like you, until then i will continue to work on my writing and craft and keep myself humble to try and make it easy to work with me and saving the money to pay them for their time because forget the money, forget the fame, making the song that its your head happen in reality is priceless, keep up the good work i appreciate and love every one of your vids!
The fact that this is only 40 dollars is fucking mind boggling. And the visuals are just amazing. It’s not only there to look pretty but contribute so much to the interface itself. Definitely will be purchasing this.
daym that's a steal, along with audio assault stuffs (which they're currently giving away their Blacksun model for free). Considering most of "flagship" amp sims cost more than $100 and whatnot.
Thank you ever so much, Glenn! I bought Rhino following your link in the descriptions (08.10.2021) - It's 47,60$ with taxes; for me, this is 42,49 Euros! That's insane!!!
I've owned rhino now for maybe about 4 months, and i love it so much that I've switched out my existing projects using the JST toneforge jeff loomis to the aurora dsp rhino.. i am just so happy with this plugin.
You need two gates, one on the input (aggressive settings) and one after the amp (less aggressive). That's how you make a really tight and clean sound that will not strangle the tone.
Match EQ .allows you to analyze and store the average frequency spectrum of an audio file as a template. You can apply this template to another audio signal so that it matches the spectrum of the original file. This is also known as a fingerprint EQ, where one sonic fingerprint is applied to another signal.
Thank you Glenn. You are doing good work. The fact that you are an influencer means many people will listen to you and you are telling them that software can get them great guitar tone. That means there is just that much more headroom for broke kids to expand on their hobby or passion. I’m from more of a punk rock background myself and you know that’s good news for me too. I’m all about hearing previously unheard voices. It’s good for people to hear from a working professional that there are high-quality options for people who can’t afford analog gear.
Both Rhino and Mammoth are fantastic, I've used them on quite some songs now, you won't regret them for the price they are. I like them better then some of the Neural DSP things to be honest. These plugins are so versatile, if you get into plugins/recording, get Rhino and Mammoth and get whatever you lack after that. The only thing I regret is that I got some of the Neural DSP plugins before I got these cause they never get used anymore.
Purchased. FANTASTIC interface and function. Has a built in 4 way IR x/y crossfader which you can import your own irs into, with great shaping capabilities. Has both an algorithmic and convolution engine with a bunch of great reverb IRs. Interface is super HD modern and NOT skeuomorphic (which is not only amazing but takes balls for a developer to do nowadays). It sounds amazing AND is cheap af. These guys areo n my radar now theyre doing something right. I hope they make more stuff.
I had never heard of this plugin before this video, but decided for $40, why not try it? And oh man, I'm blown away. I'll let people decide for themselves if it's better or worse than NeuralDSP etc. plugins, but either way, this thing rocks. Crunchy rhythms, soaring leads, modern metal, classic British metal, you name it. I even like the IRs it comes with, at least for plug-and-play usage.
Thank you for sharing this plugin. I like this one better than Helix Native and the new Neural DSP plugin I bought... damn. Good job, Aurora DSP. Mammoth next!
I have a tip for people who want to work with ampsims (if you don't already know). For me, I came up with the result of mixing plugins. For example, I like to use the Marshall 2555x (Slash) and the OverScream from Amplitube, but switch off the rest and use my own Cab IR etc. (excuse my english)
Sounds super versatile just with the various gain options. Question: when you’re demoing these plugins and gear are you generally playing your own riffs or playing songs you know? Either way you’re getting good. I’ve been watching for a long time and it’s nice to see you improve so much.
Goddamn Glenn that sounds great and has immense functionality for the price. I'm mostly a blues, jazz and rock kind of guy but I like your content and it's inspired me to play, write and record heavier... only problem is the amps I own are suited more for clean tones but at that price it seems certainly worth jumping into for when I want to venture outside my comfort zone! Thanks! Edit: I've also bought amp sims for 3X that price and was severely disappointed *cough* UAD *Cough*
You mentioning that your partially color blind got me thinking: Have you ever worked with (in the studio setting) a musician with an overt disability? How could engineers adjust to make their studios more accessible for disabled musicians. I recently read about the vocalist from Possessed, and how he his paralyzed from the chest down, yet still tours and records. Tony Ionmi, as well as others, have lost fingers or digits and had to adjust they're playing styles and tones to make up for it. Drummers have lost limbs, as well. I even follow a guitarist on YT with (what I think is) advanced MS, who had to create a unique and "backwards" style of playing, making him a pretty great rhythm guitarist.
I work with accessibility at my job and making things accessible depends a lot on the disability and needs. Everything you can do helps a ton. I think good lighting and high contrast on labeling between text and background color makes a lot of difference. Have your cables organized out of the way and not lying randomly on the floor so that people don’t trip and fall. A guitar cable in a bright orange or white makes it easier to identify and stand out from patch cables you typically only plug in once. Colored cables according to their use is not the worst idea in any case. Accessibility can be as easy or as complex as you want it to be. Stairs can be a hassle for those with balance problems or difficulty walking. You don’t have to have everything on one level, but make steps visible. Or have something to sit down if someone doesn’t want to or can’t stand up. There are a thousand things you can do but honestly, every little bit helps. If you make something accessible for others you very likely will benefit from that too.
people with disabilities have learned to work with them and they won't let themselves (survival habits) get out anywhere where they don't feel like they have the support or the resources to self-care/egress should they encounter...difficulties. With me, it's seizures that can take over parts of my body while I'm awake - I can verify that anyone suffering a full grand mal is in EXTREME pain but just can't communicate it, I'm generally screaming until not my only voice but eventually my lungs give out. Trust that anyone with a condition at risk of ... difficulties ... has at least 3 backup plans in place and they will *let you know in no uncertain terms* what their needs are if they have *any* inkling they'll be stranded out somewhere, writhing and screaming on the floor. That being said...the best thing you can do is to ALWAYS ASK. Have signage, make sure there are a LOT of visual cues in case someone's disability is not *obvious* (which means they've done a lot of work to try and present a normal facade and/or it's an intermittent/transient/triggered condition/disorder) It's not a personal thing, it's a professional accommodation above ADA that will make your customers more comfortable, and generally better mood and higher productivity or feelings of "getting stuff done". Anyone would understand and most would appreciate the low-effort courtesy to ask a couple times along the way if there is anything they've found missing or something reasonable to help the session stay in a "we're getting shit done and having a good time" mode. In a lot of cases, maximizing accessibility can be mostly or 95% achieved simply by creating space, getting stuff stowed and out of the way, the way motion flows through your footprint, making sure that open space in the human areas is structured smartly and workflow arranged so people focusing on different and multiple tasks aren't falling over each other just because shit's in dumb places and layout effort was lazy. There's always some crowding in shared spaces, especially if the sessions are going well, but there's a difference between an orgy and a clusterfuck. Both are crowds but only one is really enjoyable. ;-)
I've actually worked with a tone deaf singer for a period of time in the mid 00s. I was interning at a studio, it was super cool working through essentially teaching tonality via playing a melody line on keyboard for them to follow along.
This is completely not related to this amp plugin....but can you do a video on how you actually make these computer walkthrough videos? Like how you screen record and capture the audio that comes through your DAW and syncing it up with your camera footage. Is there a specific way you're routing your audio to be captured for sync? Would love to see your setup
I have their aurora dsp mammoth plug-in for the bass. All I can say is, I now rarely use my neural dsp darkglass because of the mammoth lol. Definitely gonna buy the Rhino.
I just decided to try Mammoth and my first impression was, "ok...that drive type 1 sounds like butt though, what's with the downsampling and ring modulation going on? ewww" and then I played along with a drum loop I was working on.... OHHH DAMN. I kinda had forgotten that bass tones can sound horrible solo and perfect in a mix.
Sounds great Glen, as always. I personally wanna stick to the old school method of few plugins, good players, good instruments, good mics, and good performances. I have too many damn plugins. But yes, $40 is a great deal for that!
Just found this channel and I'm LOVING the content, big ups!! This software seems like a great door into the audio engineering/whatever you call it-world, I'm a complete noob and I have no idea what I actually need to make this work on my PC; will it work if I find a way of plugging my guitar into the PC or will I need any other extra programs/equipment to start fiddling around? Thanks in advance! :)
Usb Recording Interface and a daw with Asio drivers and you’re on your way to struggling for years to come until you finally start getting something sort of intelligible after a ton of time money and energy spent
After getting Mammoth a while back I was so in love with it that when they came out with Rhino I bought it without even thinking twice. Honestly? Ehhh I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's feature packed and done very well but the tones just aren't there for me. I love amp sims and I'm not silly enough to expect "true tube warmth" or any of that nonsense but even still Rhino sounds, dare I say fake in some strange way I can't put my finger on. Glen definitely makes it sound alright but even in that I can still hear it. Is it a bad tone? No. I think it's just a preference thing. Even though I don't use Rhino much I still think it was a good purchase since it's a unique sound I might call upon in the future. Either way it's worth the money for 40 bucks.
I agree with you. So much hype and it just sounds awful, like 1980s first attempts of digital distortion. I couldn't possibly get a single useful sound out of it. Considering there are far, far superior free sims I think $40 is way overpriced.
@@poulwinther I disagree on some level. Yeah, some of the tones are really bad but it wasn't very hard to edit them and make it sound way better. 40 dollars for all the features it has is nowhere near overpriced
I feel that amount of distortion is too much for me. Take ammunition - freedom finder. I consider that the limit... Maybe it's hard to mess things up, since all sounds look alike at this level... I try to keep my songs with minimal drive so little detail is lost in the mix. I think it works for me.
Funny... I don't get up to anything remotely close to metal music. But, a lot of what Glenn has to say is pretty goddamned universal. But, it's also reliably inspiring to go do anything musical.
Hey Glen, Would be great to get a back to basics video on all the main bits of equipment and their purpose. From watching videos like yours I've learnt what various terms mean, and what (i think) are all the basic essentials, but thinking you know can be the problem itself. Would be great if you could fill in the blanks for a beginners home recording shopping list. Not suggesting you recommend brands, just a basic list like, PC, DAW, Di, Mic, Cables, Duct Tape, Cable Ties, White Van, Hatchet.... ooops wrong list.
All those controls and flexibility. I'm definitely grabbing this one. I'm gonna have a lot of fun dialing in from those smooth, crunchy J-pop to the heaviest death metal tone.
This thing sounds amazing! The only question I have is, with all this fantastic ness in the studio, how do guitarists and bassists get the same sound in a live gig.
I will probably be hated by everybody in the comment section now but I absolutely cannot stand that sizzling sound or tone every of the plugins have. It doesn't matter if it's neural, this, amplitube, guitar rig, pod farm, lepous etc. Same with IR's. To me there is such a difference in sound between a real amp and cab combination or an emulation. I am really trying to be open minded and I watch such videos on purpose so maybe there might be that one plugin/vst that blows my mind but until now putting an e906 in front of my v30 engl cab with the laney ironheart on top of it... there just nothing like it. I know tone is just a matter of preference and great video by the way, good, fast walkthrough. Your work here was solid. It's probably just me, but with different headphones, studio speakers and even considering CZcams's sound compression. This is not for me :) Have a great day though.
Bought this as soon as it came out based on the performance of the mammoth bass vst ( it's the best bass plugin out there btw ) and right now it's the only thing I'm using right now lol
Damn that is sweet! JST and neural DSP got some real competition! and yes definitely worth 150 as well! but with most amp sims being $150 then $20-40 on sale i guess they just figured to cut the BS and list it what it would go for on sale?
Oh man that's fucking incredible! $40? SOLD!!! But hey Glenn, can I get your first couple of presets that you opened with? And what you had going on right before 8 minutes was not too shabby either! Thanks for the heads up on this one...AGAIN!!! LOL
EDIT2: Wow..... i just started the trial, its absolutely fantastic. Already the origin sound, that is set when you start the amp for the first time, is amazing. Really great, ill surely buy it. Really fat sound. My concern that it would sound too modern was proven wrong. It has exactly that way of fatness that it makes it great for all power metal stuff. --- Looking good :-) I really prefer those single amp plugins a lot. I own quite a few more expensive tools, like the Helix Native or Guitar Rig. But so far i stuck with Audiority Valvestate Clone. It was 30 Euro but it beats all of the named ones, when it comes to certain sound preferences. I own the real Marshall Valvestate 8080 even but the clone is just as good. Basically unbelievable that a 30 Euro tool sounds nearly like a 1200 Euro Amp (back then). This one looks like another one of those easily affordable beasts. Thanks for showing. Maybe a tad bit too modern for my old school stuff that i usually play (everything from Metallica, over Megadeth to Death (the band)). But the part around 9.50 sounds great enough for that too. 40 Dollar. hmm :-) Im tempted. Edit: oh, there is trial even! Gonna try that right now.
Thanks and FU Glenn for a great demo! I heard some surprisingly good tones. I bought the Aurora Rhino plugin from your link, but just had a thought (impressive for a guitarist, I know). You demo'd it using your own IR. Is there any way to get a hold of your IR that you used? I'd be happy to pay for it. Inquiring (lazy) minds wanna know.
I'm sold on the Gate alone. One that comes with Bias FX 2 is mad hissy no matter how you set it. It seems to be a huge unimprovement from Bias FX 1 which users mention didnt have this issue. I don't even play high gain.
When the interface has a decent FET driven instrument input feeding a good plugin suite, I find all my outboard guitar gear can become redundant, e.g., my Plexi replica build and reactive load, or various amp modellers I have had. The amp does have a thing going on that the models do not quite capture, but once it goes through the load and IRs into DAW the difference is so slight it is not worth the hassle, or wear and tear on the amp -- at least if I am just practicing and noodling etc (plus the Plexi pummels the load box, so there is the risk factor too). I still keep going back to wanting one of those 2525H mini Silver Jube heads though. Nostalgia I think. I tried one of the originals when I was an '80s kid and wanted one ever since. By the time I had money for flash amps, it was the '90s and racks were the thing, so never got the Jube. In Amplitube 5 I am liking the Silver Jube with a TS808 the most though, although I think those Mikko plugins sound slightly more realistic. There is one left in all of NZ new. Email in my inbox. Put half down and pay the rest off over the next few weeks. I dunno. New shiny things :D
P.S. I find the key to getting plugins sounding good is levels into DAW from the interface and then the input level in the amp plugin, so the amp model sees the kind of levels it needs. With that and good IRs, most of the recent amp plugins out there sound pretty good. I really doubt that buying Helix or Neural outboard gear is going to sound much different than plugin versions, providing the interface has a decent input and the levels are set optimum for the plugins. Plugins are not so plug and play though. They require a bit more messing around with levels and stuff to get the best out of them. In theory, if the signal quality is as good and the algorithms are too, then the end result should be on par with the best outboard modelling gear. Plugins just lack the switching, I/O, and portability etc. That's what I have to keep reminding myself every time some fancy modelling gadget is tempting me. I don't actually need it these days, because I only play into DAW and active monitors due to noise constraints. My trusty little 8 core Ryzen 3700x CPU has more DSP ability than any of the modellers out there. My interface is an Audient iD14. I compared its FET instrument input to using direct boxes running to XLR inputs of the interface. I prefer the instrument input. It sounded better to my ears at least.
I can't remember a time when Glenn loaded something up and tried it only to go "0_o? Wait. This is good out of the box? Witchcraft" @10:47 sounded amazing
What I'm digging about this plugin is that they didn't do the usual thing of trying to make it look like an amp. That's pretty refreshing to see.

seeing Glenn attempt to djent at 2:38 was just beautifully painful 🥲
I literally paused the video and just stared into the screen after that.
I’ve been in hospital since Saturday with Ischemic Bowel Disease and your vids are keeping me going. Thanks as always Glen.
good shit. hope you feel well soon.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Here’s hoping for a quick recovery!
Get well soon man!

It's 40$ cause it's from a Polish company. We are cheap bastards!!!!
Seems like a great plugin btw.
and Polish beer is my 'go to' drink.
... and somewhere Mayones got chocked with cash
PODKRĘĆ TO!

For rhythm, I prefer other stuff, but it works.
Hey, does it have some type of clean sounds? Cheers

this is a sick plug-in. Glen your playing is getting way better. nice job!
Sounds great dude! I've been using Aurora for bass too! It's awesome!
Aurora DSP said they´ll port this to iOS, it´ll be the best amp sim for iPad!
The song at the end was killer
Again, I still remember when plug ins we’re only air fresheners and they stunk compared to this Rhino 🤘🏽
Some nice sounds there. Definitely not a bad choice for a DSP.
I started using Mammoth not long after you demoed it. Mammoth allowed me to finally get a killer tone without an amp.
I'm going to get Rhino.

They’re not labeled so you have to use your ears to choose which amp, Glenn. Duh
This is completely not related to this amp plugin....but can you do a video on how you actually make these computer walkthrough videos? Like how you screen record and capture the audio that comes through your DAW and syncing it up with your camera footage. Is there a specific way you're routing your audio to be captured for sync? Would love to see your setup
I have their aurora dsp mammoth plug-in for the bass. All I can say is, I now rarely use my neural dsp darkglass because of the mammoth lol. Definitely gonna buy the Rhino.
I just decided to try Mammoth and my first impression was, "ok...that drive type 1 sounds like butt though, what's with the downsampling and ring modulation going on? ewww" and then I played along with a drum loop I was working on.... OHHH DAMN. I kinda had forgotten that bass tones can sound horrible solo and perfect in a mix.
Sounds really awesome. Nice demo of it too 👍👍
What a great alternative to the Neural DSP for way less money.
thanks for the video, bought it pretty quickly after watching
Glenn, I would love to buy this but I think my next purchase is going to be the full version of Reaper.
*chuckles* No one actually buys Reaper
But no if you have an actual business and clientele please buy Reaper it's so good
There are like too many possible setup ! omg I just cannot stop to try different things
Sounds great Glen, as always. I personally wanna stick to the old school method of few plugins, good players, good instruments, good mics, and good performances. I have too many damn plugins. But yes, $40 is a great deal for that!
Niiiiiice. Cool for $40 for sure. Great work on the riffs and vid!
In my country, $40 is 42 pints of good beer. So, it's a dilemma! 🍻🍻🍻
Yeah, I feel your pain! 55 Australian dollars, and a carton of Cooper's Ale is $52, so I just can't see it happening! 😁
Im sold this is sweet
Just found this channel and I'm LOVING the content, big ups!! This software seems like a great door into the audio engineering/whatever you call it-world, I'm a complete noob and I have no idea what I actually need to make this work on my PC; will it work if I find a way of plugging my guitar into the PC or will I need any other extra programs/equipment to start fiddling around? Thanks in advance! :)
Usb Recording Interface and a daw with Asio drivers and you’re on your way to struggling for years to come until you finally start getting something sort of intelligible after a ton of time money and energy spent
The lead sound within the mix at the end was pretty tasty. Like the attack to it. Nice when you have a proper player of course though.
After getting Mammoth a while back I was so in love with it that when they came out with Rhino I bought it without even thinking twice. Honestly? Ehhh I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's feature packed and done very well but the tones just aren't there for me. I love amp sims and I'm not silly enough to expect "true tube warmth" or any of that nonsense but even still Rhino sounds, dare I say fake in some strange way I can't put my finger on. Glen definitely makes it sound alright but even in that I can still hear it. Is it a bad tone? No. I think it's just a preference thing. Even though I don't use Rhino much I still think it was a good purchase since it's a unique sound I might call upon in the future. Either way it's worth the money for 40 bucks.
I agree with you. So much hype and it just sounds awful, like 1980s first attempts of digital distortion. I couldn't possibly get a single useful sound out of it. Considering there are far, far superior free sims I think $40 is way overpriced.
@@poulwinther I disagree on some level. Yeah, some of the tones are really bad but it wasn't very hard to edit them and make it sound way better. 40 dollars for all the features it has is nowhere near overpriced
wow. super impressive plugin!
I feel that amount of distortion is too much for me. Take ammunition - freedom finder. I consider that the limit... Maybe it's hard to mess things up, since all sounds look alike at this level... I try to keep my songs with minimal drive so little detail is lost in the mix. I think it works for me.
i think this sounds better and it is more customizable than Neural Nolly which i planned on buying but this is bang for the buck for me
Funny... I don't get up to anything remotely close to metal music. But, a lot of what Glenn has to say is pretty goddamned universal. But, it's also reliably inspiring to go do anything musical.
Glen your guitar playing has gotten crazy tight props on the progress
Thanks, Dan!
Beta testing this on iPad; Mammoth is a beast as well!
I have this as well works great nice job on the video my friend.
Hey Glen,
Would be great to get a back to basics video on all the main bits of equipment and their purpose. From watching videos like yours I've learnt what various terms mean, and what (i think) are all the basic essentials, but thinking you know can be the problem itself. Would be great if you could fill in the blanks for a beginners home recording shopping list. Not suggesting you recommend brands, just a basic list like, PC, DAW, Di, Mic, Cables, Duct Tape, Cable Ties, White Van, Hatchet.... ooops wrong list.
Does anyone know what brand guitar Glenn is playing. I've been looking for a multiscale headless and that one looks awesome.
I believe it's a GOC guitar, could be wrong though
It looks like a GOC with different pickups
Wow did you practice? Your right arm works way better than it used to, it seems. This plugin sounds pretty wild, that's a bargain
All those controls and flexibility. I'm definitely grabbing this one. I'm gonna have a lot of fun dialing in from those smooth, crunchy J-pop to the heaviest death metal tone.
This thing sounds amazing! The only question I have is, with all this fantastic ness in the studio, how do guitarists and bassists get the same sound in a live gig.
Laptop, interface, PA. Don't forget to stack the half stacks without speakers to make it look like you're getting your tone from a stack.
With money lol
Run it to speakers instead of headphones lol.
Things are waaaaay better than when I was a kid
Feed it into a stereo power amp that drives 2 full range boxes. Done. Or straight into the PA, what I prefer.
@@DarkSkreemr13 Yeah, that is the important part. I once worked for Slash... 😂
this is ridiculous value, ima get this asap thanks for the review Glenn!
Does it have any settings that will work with ukulele, Polka Style accordion, Or maybe Southern banjo?
I will probably be hated by everybody in the comment section now but I absolutely cannot stand that sizzling sound or tone every of the plugins have. It doesn't matter if it's neural, this, amplitube, guitar rig, pod farm, lepous etc. Same with IR's. To me there is such a difference in sound between a real amp and cab combination or an emulation. I am really trying to be open minded and I watch such videos on purpose so maybe there might be that one plugin/vst that blows my mind but until now putting an e906 in front of my v30 engl cab with the laney ironheart on top of it... there just nothing like it. I know tone is just a matter of preference and great video by the way, good, fast walkthrough. Your work here was solid. It's probably just me, but with different headphones, studio speakers and even considering CZcams's sound compression. This is not for me :) Have a great day though.
Great info, thanks Glenn :)
Morning Glenn
Since I bought 'the Mammoth' my bass amp has become obsolete, haha. I can't believe their plugins are so cheap because they are incredible.
Bought this as soon as it came out based on the performance of the mammoth bass vst ( it's the best bass plugin out there btw ) and right now it's the only thing I'm using right now lol
I really love the kick's sound here
Just bought it! Sold!
That didn´t make me stop spending 80% of my income on digital plugins. I fucking dig it.
dude it sounds great
I think I know what my next investment is going to be for my home recording kit 🤘
Damn that is sweet! JST and neural DSP got some real competition! and yes definitely worth 150 as well! but with most amp sims being $150 then $20-40 on sale i guess they just figured to cut the BS and list it what it would go for on sale?
I got this when it first dropped and i love it actually
You also missed the rhino control for that octave down effect
Oh man that's fucking incredible! $40? SOLD!!! But hey Glenn, can I get your first couple of presets that you opened with? And what you had going on right before 8 minutes was not too shabby either!
Thanks for the heads up on this one...AGAIN!!! LOL
This is just magnificent, I mean, it's cheap and it's good
Not into metal as such (but I love some of it). This is SO going into my arsenal!
What would be cool is if you put in your guitar signal chain in with demo in the mix? Amp, pedals, eq, etc
Insane quality for the price.
EDIT2: Wow..... i just started the trial, its absolutely fantastic. Already the origin sound, that is set when you start the amp for the first time, is amazing. Really great, ill surely buy it. Really fat sound. My concern that it would sound too modern was proven wrong. It has exactly that way of fatness that it makes it great for all power metal stuff.

Looking good :-) I really prefer those single amp plugins a lot. I own quite a few more expensive tools, like the Helix Native or Guitar Rig. But so far i stuck with Audiority Valvestate Clone. It was 30 Euro but it beats all of the named ones, when it comes to certain sound preferences. I own the real Marshall Valvestate 8080 even but the clone is just as good. Basically unbelievable that a 30 Euro tool sounds nearly like a 1200 Euro Amp (back then).
This one looks like another one of those easily affordable beasts. Thanks for showing. Maybe a tad bit too modern for my old school stuff that i usually play (everything from Metallica, over Megadeth to Death (the band)). But the part around 9.50 sounds great enough for that too. 40 Dollar. hmm :-) Im tempted.
Edit: oh, there is trial even! Gonna try that right now.
Thanks and FU Glenn for a great demo! I heard some surprisingly good tones. I bought the Aurora Rhino plugin from your link, but just had a thought (impressive for a guitarist, I know). You demo'd it using your own IR. Is there any way to get a hold of your IR that you used? I'd be happy to pay for it. Inquiring (lazy) minds wanna know.
I'm sold on the Gate alone. One that comes with Bias FX 2 is mad hissy no matter how you set it. It seems to be a huge unimprovement from Bias FX 1 which users mention didnt have this issue. I don't even play high gain.
Gnarly. I definitely need to check this company out!
Bought this plug in months ago hell man it’s amazing
When the interface has a decent FET driven instrument input feeding a good plugin suite, I find all my outboard guitar gear can become redundant, e.g., my Plexi replica build and reactive load, or various amp modellers I have had. The amp does have a thing going on that the models do not quite capture, but once it goes through the load and IRs into DAW the difference is so slight it is not worth the hassle, or wear and tear on the amp -- at least if I am just practicing and noodling etc (plus the Plexi pummels the load box, so there is the risk factor too).
I still keep going back to wanting one of those 2525H mini Silver Jube heads though. Nostalgia I think. I tried one of the originals when I was an '80s kid and wanted one ever since. By the time I had money for flash amps, it was the '90s and racks were the thing, so never got the Jube.
In Amplitube 5 I am liking the Silver Jube with a TS808 the most though, although I think those Mikko plugins sound slightly more realistic. There is one left in all of NZ new. Email in my inbox. Put half down and pay the rest off over the next few weeks. I dunno. New shiny things :D
P.S. I find the key to getting plugins sounding good is levels into DAW from the interface and then the input level in the amp plugin, so the amp model sees the kind of levels it needs. With that and good IRs, most of the recent amp plugins out there sound pretty good.
I really doubt that buying Helix or Neural outboard gear is going to sound much different than plugin versions, providing the interface has a decent input and the levels are set optimum for the plugins.
Plugins are not so plug and play though. They require a bit more messing around with levels and stuff to get the best out of them. In theory, if the signal quality is as good and the algorithms are too, then the end result should be on par with the best outboard modelling gear. Plugins just lack the switching, I/O, and portability etc.
That's what I have to keep reminding myself every time some fancy modelling gadget is tempting me. I don't actually need it these days, because I only play into DAW and active monitors due to noise constraints. My trusty little 8 core Ryzen 3700x CPU has more DSP ability than any of the modellers out there.
My interface is an Audient iD14. I compared its FET instrument input to using direct boxes running to XLR inputs of the interface. I prefer the instrument input. It sounded better to my ears at least.
I can't remember a time when Glenn loaded something up and tried it only to go "0_o? Wait. This is good out of the box? Witchcraft"
@10:47 sounded amazing
Whoah, that In A Full Mix part was really nice - who is that?
Great! now we can call you Djlenn
I like hearing that you've seriously worked on your rhythm. No more sloppy chugging. You tightened it up good. Congratz, man!
