I own a lot of amp sims and hundreds of professional IRs. I ended up on Helix Native and IRs from the italian company Choptones - namely the "Hess-Packs" which contain IRs from the 2x12 HESU cab with Celestion V30 and Hesu Demon speakers. To me the best and most authentic sounding combination...

I think I testdrived most amp sims by now - still a big fan of Overloud TH3 and just currently fall in love with Amplitube 4, especially their (official licensed Engl Powerball and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier). Have dozens of IRs as well, mostly digging Ownhammer and Celestion Plus. I also own...

I think Line6 did a very good job here with Helix Native - and it's definitively the first hardware manufacturer to bring the sound 1:1 in a VST plugin format. I appreciate it a lot (as Fractal and Kemper still refuse to so...). Soundwise I like what I hear, especially with the Archon and...

I second that! Overloud TH3 is the best and most realistic ampsim to my ears - unfortunately pretty underrated. The cabs are very good too, but you can increase tone quality with external IRs like those from Ownhammer or Celestion. Not that much away from a Kemper, IMHO.

Ah OK, thanks! Unfortunately I can't find videos of those Celestion V30 impulses on YT. Is there a chance to record a little snippet so that I can get an impression? Maybe even in comparison to a good 3Sigma or Rose impulse? Thanks again! EDIT: Bought the Celestion V30 4x12 - and I'm really...

I just checked the free IR and at least for high gain settings I found it *much* to sharp and thin. I've been a fan of Rosen Digital and 3Sigma for a long time but actually I'm more getting into more "natural" sound regions. Appreciated the Kalthallen Mesa Impulses for example. I also got the...

Just as an edit: I just encountered the plugins of Brainworx/Plugin Alliance. I'm normally not a big Rectifier fan but those Rectos of Brainworx rip some ass...I *never* heard such an fat and heavy ampsim. WOW! I think there's no way for me avoiding spending 149$ right now, although I already...

LOL, thanks for the hint with Revalver. Being 3 years (!) old by now I almost forgot about it...and I bought it back in those times. Just gave a quick check with the 6505 and external IRs (3Sigma and Rosen) it sounded pretty well. Maybe not as good as TH3 (which is the most organic / real to my...

OK, folks - great to hear that BIAS actually *is* the overrated shit I already afraid of. Currently I'm into Thermionik as well, especially the Damage 120. Though I like the idea of having a suite, ideally added as a stand alone version at hand. Noisegate, overdrive, amp, impulse loader/cab...

Hi there, I'm using amp sims for at least 10 years now - currently mostly Overloud TH3 and Thermionik. Within the last year there had me a MASSIVE buzz for BIAS Amp and BIAS FX. I checked out the demo and indeed...the 5153 sound pretty wicked, as you can hear here... The marketing strategy...

EDIT: What if I throw in the Randall Thrasher 50? For me it's about 150€ more than the Diavlo RD100... I'm pretty sure it'll sound wicket but the small form factor and the missing adjustable FX loop somehow holds be back. And of course there's the RD100 as a good alternative...

Thanx a lot for your opinion. I have to admit that the RD100 sound absolute AWESOME in this video, don't you agree? It's a shame that it isn't shown with just the guitar(s)....

Hi there! I'm playing the T2HH (Heaven & Hell Gus G-signature) since 2010 and honestly I'm still pleased with this beast. Additionally, it is build like a tank. Just for the GAS I'm now thinking about switch to another, newer Randall amp. I was struggling between the Thrasher 50 and the RD100...

That'll be the problem and seems to be confirmed. Strange though...no beta testing with windows environments?

I simply can't believe that nobody suffers from the massive CPU load under windows 7...OK, not the newest PC but running Win7 with a Quadcore Q6600 and 4 GB RAM with just ONE instance of Recabinet makes the hole thing absolutely unplayable. No problems with any other VST, even with dozens of...
