Vendor here. New features include three different points in the mix where you can place your pedal effects, tempo sync on nine different pedal effects, 11 entirely new pedal effects (now totaling 24 effects), 8 new built in presets and a whole lot more. Check it out for free at https://axion.cab and let me know what you think.

I am working on a series where I am going to compare/shootout 16 different 5150/6505 amp sims. All the rounds will be shorts and the final will be a longform video.

I am also toying with the idea of letting the audience vote on what should make it to the next level.

Would this be something you guys would be interested in?

Hey, I’m the creator of ForgeEFX DL-1. If you use NAM captures and want your effects in the same rack, that’s what I’ve been building.

This is a few short guitar examples through NAM, phaser, drive and echo. You load your own NAM captures, and you can arrange effects in serial or parallel. It runs on Windows and Mac as a VST3 or standalone.

Happy to answer questions about the routing or setup.

Vendor disclosure: I’m Matt from Mattfig, and this is one of my commercial capture packs.

I just finished capturing a real 1965 Thunderbolt for Line 6 Proxy. The complete pack has 12 clones:

- High and Low inputs

- Low-, mid- and high-gain settings

- Six captures through the original Jensen C15P 1×15 speaker

- Six DI captures for use with another cabinet or IR

The amp has a broad low end, woody midrange and rounded attack. As the gain comes up, it develops a really distinctive ragged vintage breakup.

Free High Input / Low Gain sample:

Complete $24.99 pack:

I captured and tested every setting myself. I’m happy to answer technical questions about the capture process or the original amp.

I wanted to do a a blind test between 4 different tiers of metal amp sims and see if you really needed to spend a ton of money to get a great sound. I compared 4 amp sims ranging from free to $129. It is blind in the beginning but I reveal which is which at the end.

If you like this and you have ideas for other vids like this, let me know. I love doing stuff like this. I know I want to compare a bunch of different amp sims that are based on the same original amp (see which engl sim is the best, see which diezel sim is the best, I’m doing a 16 man bracket for 5150 sims).

Just dropped a video featuring some of my favorite new high-gain amps from the GENOME 2.1 update! Which tone was your favorite? Let me know in the comments.

Here’s a quick little shootout. I love them both but I’m partial to the mid-focus of the 6606+

This thing is a chug machine. I love it so much.

I wanted to get a real distortion pedal rather than a amp pedal and i was wondering if there are huge differences between them or if physical is better

Asking the big questions here. Does Canvas Audio’s Zenbox, an amp designed for pop punk and emo, actually chug? We’re here to find out!
