AmpFarm on PTIII

[Mulder]

Hi'all,

Got me a donated/ebayed ProTools III rig . Within a couple of weeks an Adatbridge will arrive making this rig a perfect FXset for my RME'd hyperPC running the usual suspects in DAWland, offering seven realtime ampfarms at this moment. (Maybe I'll get me a 9600 and some more DSPfarms, they're dirtcheap)

My Q:

What's the general opinion on the Farm? I really like the Mesa with the Big Cabinet, much better then the general vststuff like guitarrig or amplitube.

Any suggestions on settings and stuff? Tubescreamerplug in front?

Bump!

Ey dudes, nobody here any experience with the AmpFarm?

I don't like AmpFarm. Not on guitars anyway. I've had some cool results with it on bass and vocals before though.

Thanks for your comment. The ampfarm is basically a POD isn't it? (the first one)

Kind of... although I got better tones out of my original POD. Go figure. I think Line 6 doesn't want to make their software as good as their hardware. Amp Farm exists to sell PODs.

For Metal -I don't use it for anything else (yet)- there's only one setting I really like, the mesa with the big cabinet. Tried Guitarrig and Amplitube, this one sounds best IMO in combination with miked recordings. I also love the abillity to tweak the amps during the whole session.
I don't use them standalone but to thicken up miked stuff. I also had a POD, but prefer (the sound of) this particular amp/cabinet (and I can use 7 at the same time). Although the XT is -agian, IMO- good enough for stand-alone work.
Maybe oneday I'll buy seven of those.

Pretty curious about the upcoming native plugin of ampfarm btw
