This has some of the tightest low end I’ve ever heard. The note clarity for drop F is so satisfying to hear
It does sound very good for the low chugs
That first note punched SOOO HARD. The quality of this plugin is immaculate! 🤩
That track sounds like Car Bomb and Deftones had a baby!!
That’s a huge compliment
I love the round hook at the horn of the guitar. You could put your necklace through it and carry your guitar everywhere!
Dude! What I wouldn't give to find local guitar lessons that teach your style of playing. ABSOLUTELY SICK BROTHER! Thanks for what you do teach though. Love this channel man!
Yo Ray. This is my favorite demo track you put out in a long time. Absolutely killer.
Hey thanks so much!
Haven't been into new Amp sims till this one came out. Sounds so good. Been using it over my Neural stuff.... Cheers dude!
I love how zen you look while riffing. Killer video!
Sick tones!! 🔥🔥🔥
Bro your riffs just get crazier and more more rad! You’re like the drop z jaymez hetfield
Damn I love your deep bass riffs.
Some beautiful sounds here
I agreeeee
I could never own one of these devices but it is fun to watch you fine tune it and the tone is killer. But sir your playing is masterful. Thanks for the great video as always man and take care.
Why couldn't you own one?
Why couldn't you? They're so much fun!
Yo, I love your presets for that product \m/ ty
I added the Baritone King to my favourite tones
The thump coming into play. Oh hell yeah.
Dude I know I'm a nobody, but I am a pretty gnarly bassist that really likes slap and thumping I would absolutely love to put some bass to some of those riffs in that intro!! I'm sure you get plenty of recognizable people wanting to be a part of your stuff but I figured I'd give it a shot
Ok, I was really excited about this plugin, but the reason I bought it was because of your presets. It's an absolute game changer, man.
Wow that’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing that with me. Means a lot. Enjoy the plug-in!
@@xanderraymondcharles You bet, man! I've never had more fun with an amp before!
The sound of your lowest string is INSANE!!!!
I can’t wait till my Kiesel 9 string is finished so I can run through some of these that have released during the build process. Along with sharing because a lot of people are kind of…terrible at dialing a 9 but I don’t blame them that much because they are a different beast to try and tame so to say.
Do you recommend this one or the new bogren digital one, for best modern metal tone
Mr. Stringer, this is the greatest troll a guitar player EVER accompished... IYKYK...
This sounds incredible, looks like I'm buying a new amp sim today!
ENJOY!
Yep, pulled the trigger, been playing with it all evening, so much fun!
Thanks for the great review, Ray - sounds really awesome! What's your opinion: this or Bogren MLC (if to choose just one)?
Man. Sad. Not you Serg, just in general, getting tones from computers these days.
Hey Ray, love the plug-in! question for ya if you have the time. So long story short. I have a single KRK Classic 5 studio monitor, and use that for my all my amp sims and interfaces (Pod Go). Not crazy about how it sounds. Just sounds compressed and “weak”. Been considering getting a powered PA monitor because they always sound really good through those. Something kinda like a Harbinger 12’. Would you recommend doing that or buying another desk monitor, Would that even help the tone? Thanks!
I'd like to know as well. Always wondered if 12" wouldn't sound even more true to an amp sound
@@matthewmp111 well in the case of my Pod go, it made a HUGE difference. For the better.
I've tried the trial it has some of the best pitch shifting I've ever heard. went from Drop C down to Double Drop E (I have a guitar already set up for this but it was a test) and it sound as if was naturally tuned to it, I even compared between the two. In a mix I legit do not think most would notice. My experiences are Headrush Drop Tune & Gojira Drop Tune Presets. Also the tightness of the low end and tonal clarity is genuinely INCREDIBLE. my money- TAKEN.
how did you do pitch shifting on this
@@vejichan knob to the left of the preset toggle box
It always looks like most guys have a studio above their garage. I say that because that’s what mine looks like lol
First. Sick shit dude!
Hey thanks!
Love your content, that red guitar, with the 2 different wood grains, is so 🔥, What kind of guitar is it,and where to buy it, THANK YOU,,,JON ✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for your "Baritone King" preset. I think it would be a good mix with the preset "Chunk" by Mike himself !
I’m glad you dig it!
I literally just mixed the two 😆 your right 👍 they sound great together
hey charles, I have absolutely no clue on how to use these type plugins (and the "archetype" ones), I would love if you make a little tutorial in what hardware, software and gear necessary for these. Greeting from Brazil man, love your content.
Hey thanks! I made a video on my channel 2 weeks ago called “how to use an amp sim” this should help you
oh thank you
I mean all this new amp sims sounds very great for metal like the Bogren ot this one! but i would like to see more amp sims like the Blackstar st. james, an amp sims the can give you that super smooth gain for leads that kind of gain of blues boutique amps For example like carr amps, or supro or DR.Z or many others, there are too many metal amp sims
can you run your own IR on this plugin?
So for reals, I'm about to make an amp sim purchase. Would you recommend buying this one or the STL Tones Andy James? I can only afford one and want huge, pro sounding rhythm tones for drop D tuning.
Honestly you can’t wrong with either. I love both so much. However, the mix wave spiritbox is leaps and bound more detailed and elaborate. In the Andy James you really only get two good sounds (lead and rhythms) but those two sounds are realllllly good. If I had to pick here in 2023 I’d go with spiritbox 100000%
I would go for a newer ndsp one. They also offer pitch shifting
@@michaelkorn361 I would not
Neural DSP shits all over mixwave.
@@KeepTheGates I have neutrals NTS sim, and it's pretty good, but I'm looking for something a little more articulated under heavy gain.
That chorus sounded like a doubler 🤔 But I totally dig Spiritbox so I will probably be picking this one up very soon 🤘🔥🔥🤘
You should! It’s rad
what's the name of the song in the demo?
Spiritbox rig rundown?????
I’ll see what I can do when they come to town!
When you do transpose does it translate the notes on the tuner?
No, I have it, and it just goes off your actual DI signal
He already just used Neural DSP and quad cortex. An amp sim based on an amp sim based on an amp?
Killer!!!
imagine hearing that djent live haha.
Is this better than ndsp Nolly since they sound similar?
Yes
How are you making that weird shrieking sound?! I don’t get it lol
Pretty sick sounding plugin!
Extra props to Mike and Courtney for actually doing what many Americans said they would do when Trump got elected and moved to Canada!
Guess the cats out of the bag about your Cerberus signature.... Congratulations

Nice.
Is mixwave spiritbox better for low tunings than otto audio II II II.
it's apples and oranges. it's clearer but the II II is heavier
@@xanderraymondcharles Can you further elaborate on your comment? I am still unsure of the clearer vs. heavier part.
@@elee2011 they both have free trials you try for yourself
@@xanderraymondcharles I have tried the otto audio and I am one of the few that didn't get it right when dialing in the tones or just didn't like it. I found it sounding digital on he top end. I am trying the Mike stringer right now and having better luck with getting tones I like. I don't have a lot of experience l, so I was wanting your take.
I thought they would have went with Neural
I think everyone is a bit neuraled out
@@xanderraymondcharles lmao I approve of this comment
@@xanderraymondcharles also if this was neural i guarantee it would've cost like $120
Is this better than archetype gojira?
It has a little less versatility in terms of less distortion pedal options & lack of a wham pedal but If you are playing booty cheek low tuning there is no tighter plugin out there. The cleans and ambience options here imo sound far better than any offering Gojira has. I'm going off of the presets and about a 2-hour playing session. Less presets & Lack of built in IR loader kind sucks but What it has is fantastic. I'd pick this over Gojira if you asked me rn. Being able to tweak so much of the signal chain and move it around is pretty awesome. I have used Gojira / Nameless and Nolly as my go-tos for years, but I think the new kid in town is a badass and definitely is worth a shot.
Thank you so much! I gotta have to try it too
No discount? Come on fellas. Help us poor chuggies out.
Buying it without even hearing it hahah
You won’t be disappointed
@@xanderraymondcharles It will be killer with my "Spiritbox" inspired Solar. Nothing like Drop F# on some Lundgrens \m/
Love your channel and what you do but i have a question for everyone in the comments. Do we really need this? I already have Neural DSP Nolly, Gojira, ML Fluff 2C for high gain. All these sims do the same exact thing and sound the same (only difference is fhe built in IRs). Why should I buy this?
I don't know what you would say, but I think there is currently an inflation with amp simulations. The market is so saturated with all these products, that I cannot follow new releases anymore. And they are not much different from each other either.
Agreed.
I don't get excited anymore. There's the same 5150 inspired amp sim coming out every week that sounds the same, same effects, same layout, similar IRs too. The only "innovation" we've got this year was NAM. I'm happy with my Nolly plugin and I can get the same exact sound. I also have the free 5150 from the Roots plugin and I bought the Fluff 2C as well and feel like it's way more than I actually need.
All these amp sims coming out constantly aren't adding anything valuable to the market.
Spiritbox is the best metal band of the decade
I never understood why this band became so popular and I probably never will. Amp sim features are so basic compared to Neural DSP stuff.
If you were sent the amp sim, it's considered a paid review.
No it's not, most notable CZcamsrs are sent these things upon release they are under no obligation to say they like it. A paid review would have the expectation to go above and beyond to make it sound good to market the product.
@@jessegolden23Yes, it is. Is there's an exchange of currency, products, goods, services, etc. it's considered a paid review, or a promotional video. An unpaid review is when the youtuber or content creator either spends their own money on the product, or when they acquire it with no affiliation with any manufacturer or seller.
