    Made the move 2 years ago and it changed my life. Waited a year then sold almost all of my older things…. I walk into set up, rehearsals, and shows with 1 backpack and an orange 35RT. Oh, I did eventually spring for the Behringer FCB1010 because I just naturally like the feel of a stomp box. Whole rig = $350 (already had the amp) and honestly sounded better than anything I’ve ever spent hrs dialing in.

    I agree, bias sounds amazing and is easy to navigate, and I like that there’s a community of people who upload their custom pedal board sounds, so if you’re looking to cover a song and need to sound like a certain artist you can easily find it, and it’s easy to practice with at home if you can be using an amp because it’s too loud! I’m gonna invest in an iPad so I’m not using my phone during gigs and probably use bias for awhile

    Awesome video Gary! And sick guitar work! I shifted over to modeling as well some years ago - funny how that prized analog gear is now collecting dust. I agree with all those points and would add it's great for
    - having a consistent studio-quality mix locked down with your band
    -being ready to record with no hassle
    -not being annoying to your neighbors (it's amazing how much more I've gravitated towards guitar when I can get a really intense tone while bothering no one!!!)

    Great idea building the rig for it all! At the end of the day, most people attending a show are just regular Joes looking for a good time and don't care what gear is used. Most don't have a clue what the brands even are. If it sounds good who cares what the musician uses? I don't. Use whatever you enjoy and have fun. Great video!

    I've been re-exploring Bias Amp 2/Bias FX on a 7 year old iPad 2 with an old Apogee Jam interface I had. I've always played with modeling from the original Pod to NI Guitar Rig, Amplitube, Revalver, etc. A long time ago I bought Jamup Pro, then Agile Ampkit+, Then Bias Amp and finally Bias FX. I upgraded them all with all the expansions except the bass stuff. Then I got three real amps. A Peavey Valveking II Tube amp, an AMT Stonehead SH-50-4, and a Mahaffay HiLo Watt Plexi. All of them were the head units. I also bought a Marshall 2/12 vertical slant cab and a slew of pedals. RC Boost, Fulltone OCD, AMT Reverberry, AMT Japanese Girl Wah, MXR 10 band EQ, Electro Harmonix Mistress chorus and flanger, Electro Harmonix dual delay, Minifooger bucket brigade delay, bought a couple extra preamps too from AMT. AMT SS-20, AMT Legend Series D2. The hardware sounds amazing. The Stonehead amp and SS-20, and D2 preamps are great sounding. The boutique Mahaffay Plexi is like a hot rodded Marshall Plexi. All great. Then one day I decided to check out Bias Amp 2 and Bias FX again on that old iPad 2. With some careful tweaking of settings and FX, I can easily rival the sounds I get out of the real hardware. Honestly - the feel and dynamics playing the Bias Amp models is no different than my real tube amps/preamps. I also get better sound out of plugging into my H&K 360 watt PA than the Marshall cab.
    One thing for sure - having great sound and very dynamic reactive equipment, just makes playing easier and way more inspiring. Whether you go to real gear or software, you will be more creative and enjoy practicing more. I get more versatility out of the iPad 2 rig with a few selected Fender, Mesa Boogie (Mark IIc is my favorite), Marshall, Deisel, Laney, Peavey amps and a wide variety of FX than I can get out of the real hardware and doing A/B comparisons I can't really pick one over the other. Both methods sound and feel great playing. I think building a dedicated floor rig using an iPad is a smart idea.Great video!

      @Gary_W  Před 4 lety

      Hi Previous User Name, thank you for your comment!

    I use an midi controller, with an old Alesis I/O Dock. I have as many patches as needed. I don’t use Bluetooth, although I have a BT switcher, for my spark amp. I like the iPad setup, more than the spark amp. After a while, everything sounds the same through the Spark amp. It’s a nice unit but not much in the way of tone shaping. I have used the iPad rig, since, it was available on iPad and it still delivers, to this day. I have upgraded , the iPad since but I am still very happy with this quick rig.

    Thanks Gary! This was a very fun video to watch. I just purchased Bias FX2 and like what I hear so far. I also recently discovered the sonic power of impulse responses, which Bias FX2 allows you to import. The IRs are the biggest improvement I've heard in all my modelling gear. Things finally sound real!

    Brother you are very humble
    Though you are a very fine guitarist.
    This is the best bais explanation I have seen over the net best It answers all the question about the bias fx and it's usability.
    Just yesterday I ordered an audio interface
    My real concern was latency .
    I was thinking to go the traditional way like buying tube amp and pedals .
    And settled on bias fx to give it a try because
    An audio interface came within the price of one flashback 2 delay pedal

    Thanks Gary, your absolutely right! Guitar snobbery is the problem. I cannot believe how good the sound is from my I-pad (similar to your setup). It’s absolutely the future. I have a whole room of equipment from years of playing guitar and drums and recording. Now I do everything through my I-pad, using a Midi keyboard, guitar interface, midi drum module etc. Garage Band in itself would of cost thousands years ago for what’s built into it. When you factor in that most people have an Android or Apple phone/tablet already, then the cost is minimal compared to buying any musical equipment. Plus, when you finish the gig you can check your email and go online with your tablet 😂😁

    Positive Grid products sound beautifully
    realistic ! It’s roughly the equivalent of the Hotone Ampero which also diserves to be known. But I tried the iRig Blueboard to switch my Bias Fx presets and I can tell the Blueboard is NOT fast enough to switch presets in live conditions, it would be ok to use it on your desk or for changing pages.. but thats’ all.

    • @Gary_W
      @Gary_W  Před 4 lety

      Hey Paul, I did use the Blueboard and Bias FX for live conditions, and yes there are delays when changing patches. But I am now experimenting with individual effects control inside a single patch using Blueboard instead of changing the whole patches, and it's better in terms of response time and latency. Hope this helps :)

      Hi Loki thanks for your comment. I plug in directly to mixer when I play live, and the soundman put a small monitor in front of me on the stage so I can hear what I play. You can definitely plug in to a normal amp and cab, the software allows you to bypass the simulated amp and cab if you need to. Hope this helps :)

    Pinoy kicks ass! As for me personally, I never use digital modeling amps on stage (and I have tried many times mind you) only because I can never really get that feel and immediacy that only a good tube amp can deliver, and I never use analog tube amps in the studio (again I've tried) only because it is so difficult to isolate, mic, and dial in a real speaker cab. But I will totally agree about the convenience, man lugging around my heavy af Fender '65 Black Face twin reverb combo amp and 15lb. Pedal board to gigs is a real pain in the ass!

      Hi Leonardo, thank you very much for the kind comment :) I used another adapter specifically for the iRig Pro Duo, it is originally a 9V adapter for guitar pedals called 1 Spot from Truetone. It is very similar to a standard Boss 9v power adapter, but it has more Ampere to match the iRig Pro Duo. I used a Boss adapter previously though for the iRig Pro Duo, and it worked just fine, but I was worried that the Ampere didn't match. Hope this helps :)

Also, you are an excellent guitar player ,especially your being so adept at multiple genres. GOD BLESS U. U are a Profesional quality player no doubt.

    • @Gary_W
      @Gary_W  Před 2 lety

      Hello Chris, thank you for the very kind comment, God bless you too! Regarding your question, the lag between two patches is noticeable, but recently I switched from "patch switching" to "effect switching" on the Blueboard pedalboard, so I can turn on and off individual effect pedals on a single patch, instead of switching between patches with different sets of effects and amps. Effect switching is more responsive and the lag is very minimal.
      Regarding your question about having the iPad nearby to adjust as needed, I actually just set everything on the iPad before I start to play, and then just leave my iPad on the floor and fully trust the Blueboard to turn on/off effects on the patch.
      Hope this helps! I have a new video about this iPad setup here: czcams.com/video/vCQ9E8Z-Aig/video.html&ab_channel=GaryW

      Hello Andy, sorry for the late response, thank you for the comment! I haven't tried JamUp pro, but in my opinion if you are fine with the sounds and tone from JamUp, then I don't think you have to upgrade. I just happen to start from Bias Amp, and naturally I want Bias FX to complement my Bias Amp. I think you should try with the JamUp first in the iPad mini and see how it sounds and performs, then decide later if you want to upgrade to Bias. Hope this helps!
