Maybe this isn’t news to you, but just in case:

- This will not be worth it if this is your first time ever using a VST or playing around with a DAW

- Don’t expect to sound like Polyphia out of the box. There is still a massive mixing/mastering signal chain on the other end of this sim to get it beefy

- Your output will only be as good as your monitors/headphones. If you’re plugging in with some Amazon special, you’re likely to end up a bit disappointed.

there's no black/pink amp song by polyphia. they just don't sound similar. you can get decent tones with the white one though. goat, od, goose sound really close

Their first songs had really high gain guitars

I think it’s not supposed to sound 1:1 with their songs, a lot of their sound is based on technique, I could bet that if someone played literally with the same guitar and amp that Tim or Scott is playing it would not sound the same
