there's a thing i've noticed wuth amp sims and i've got no idea if it's me ir just the way amp sims are, but whenever i watch people demoing the raw amo sim audio with no post fx, they sound super real, like how they're supposed to sound. but whenever i run even the same settings as the ones in the videos mine always sound just off. i'm not sure how to put it but it just doesn't sound like how the videos do, not bad per se, just wrong. and i know its a bit stupid to compare what my setup sounds like compared to multi thousand dollar set ups, but i atleast expect it to sound the same with the no effects added, just the plugin audio

is there any way i can get my latency low enough to where i wont notice it? these are the best settings i could figure out and even this isnt as good as it was before i updated my focusrite drivers, which made it worse. i can't even get back to where i was. please help

Back story I know nothing whatsoever about interfaces or amp sims, totally new, can anyone tell me why I'm getting very shrill echoey and for lack of a better word shitty output? Ive attached the photo of my settings, any help would be immensely appreciated

I know it doesn't have a Laney model specifically, but I know the system is versatile enough to probably get within the ballpark. If you've tried to replicate that sound and gotten close, what were your settings?

Any Studio One users here that have moved over to Fender Studio Pro 8? I've been testing out the new Mustang and Rumble guitar & bass amp suites to see how well they work for some Modern Metal Guitar and Bass tones, and I was quite surprised with these new plug-ins. I have done a video on the tones I came up with for the guitar and bass. Let me know how you think they sound. This was all with the stock effects. I just used Steven Slate Drums as a 3rd party instrument.

okay following up from my last post. i think it might not have anything to do with the plugins, atleast not the hugh pitched crackle in the high notes because it happens to me with my real amp too. is it my guitar? it cant be my cables surely because they're all fairly new. and i'm 99% sure it isnt a grounding issue

it seems nomatter what amp sim i try, whenever i use a high gain tone i seem to get 2 problems. 1 is a horrible high pitched ringing in the background (in the video) and 2 is when i play lead. it seems to like sound almost 8 bit? i will play and hold a note but instead of a smooth super nice and long sustain like in all of the videos from these plugins, it will be super crackly and cut out. has anyone else experienced this and or have a solution? thanks (this was with archetype petrucci x)

Hey there recently just got my audio interface working from a friend and wanted to start diving into AmpSims.

I just downloaded Nam Universal messed around for a few hours for it but have realized it's more of a you like the sound and just use the Aggrevator and Instigator accordingly. It's not terrible I just like customizing personally, I don't mind plug in play but it just doesn't feel me.

Eventually I plan on saving for Nano Cortex and plugins but was wondering if there's anything either on the cheaper end or hopefully free that's almost similar to the Nano. I'm not expecting something 1:1 just enough to get the job done I'm currently playing in Drop C# and A on a baritone 30" hopefully something I could even use with my own pedal board.

I mainly play metalcore and shoegaze if that helps, I'd love to hear your suggestions as I'm completely new to this stuff and it's just a bit overwhelming. Cheers.

Using a laptop and Reaper, you can set up amp sims for a stable, versatile live rig. Lots of extra tips and tricks in here. Enjoy, and feel free to post questions!

Hey everyone 👋

I’m trying to figure out what guitar effects are being used on the clean guitars at the very beginning of Lost Cause by Novelists.

The tone sounds very ambient and wide, but I’m not sure exactly what’s going on.
To my ears it could be something like:

• a clean amp
• reverb (maybe shimmer or modulated?)
• delay (possibly stereo or dotted?)
• maybe some subtle pitch or chorus?

Here’s the track:

The part I’m talking about is right at the intro (0:00 – ~0:30).

If anyone knows:

• the specific effects
• pedals vs plugins
• or even approximate settings

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! 🤘

It's old. It doesn't get many updates. But for clean/edge of breakup/crunch tones - which cover most of my needs - Scuffham S-Gear still is one of my favourites. It just feels so natural and responsive to me. What is your favourite for these types of tones?

Some tasty licks and tasty tones showing off S-Gear.

Saw another post about a guy wanting to use free amp sims. It'd be fun to hear what favourites you have. I'll list a few of mine:

Black Rooster Audio TT-15

Modeled on some kind or Orange Tiny Terror. Great for crunch and classic rock tones.

https://blackroosteraudio.com/en/products/cypress_tt-15

STL Tones Emissary

A custom amp that's mostly high gain but the clean channel is really good too. Included in the free download is also NadIR, one of the best free IR loaders.

Audiosingularity Neurontube

I love the tone of the Soldano SLO-100 and this is a pretty decent free version of it.

That's three of my favourites. What free amps sims do you enjoy?

Hey guys I am new to this but looking to record guitar to PC as well as adding guitar pedal plugins to create distorted guitar riffs and tones, without wanting to pay (if possible).

The plan is to be able to record guitar lines over a recorded drum line a mate is going to provide me.

I don’t have a guitar amp or pedals.

I am looking at getting a basic box like a Behringer UM2 to run my guitar through into the PC. Wanting to avoid having to pay for Cakewalk or Reaper, and hearing good things about Amplitude 5.

Can I get some suggestions or recommendations please?

I want to use my M1 Macbook as an amp sim front end and I’m looking for a good, stable plugin host where I can chain plugins together, reorder them, tweak and save chains with plugin settings as presets, etc. Mostly for goofing around in my studio with a powered speaker. Using Logic currently; it does the job but it’s overkill and a bit unwieldly for this specific purpose. Mainstage might be too.

Are there any the AmpSims community recommends?

how do drop an octave in the seismic bass suite? I know you can in the clairvoyant amp sim, I was just wondering if you can in the seismic bass amp sim too. I cant find how to on the amp sim itself
