List of guitar ampsim software

What sim / impulse combination you guys prefer for stoner / doom type guitarsound, Sleep, High on Fire, YOB, Black Sabbath for example? I've been using HyBrit with ReCabinet 2.1 1960 impulses, but I'm not perfectly happy.


Shitty youtube quality on some but you get the idea

For amp sims you might want to try these,

Aradaz Amp 2 Green

and BTE's Juicy 77

I found these two amp sims respond very nicely to KaltHallen Studio's T75 cab sims,

and with Let it burn's Orange 4x12 v30 impulses
http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/376985-my-orange-4x12-v30-impulses.html

I've been able to achieve some very nice vintage sounding tones using various combinations of these amps and cabs

Also, try KeFIR as your impulse loader. For some reason I get much better results using it than I do with LeCab.
 
My mixing sucks, but this is by far my favorite amp sim out there so far!!!! TSE X50

guyz I have read all these 5 pages and as i can see there is basically not so much choice for iOS/RTAS users. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :kickass:

RTAS no idea, but for iOS I would say that Bias is the best sounding ampsim.
 
Umh.. I need something to use with ProTools.. Do you process the guitars trough Bias and then import em into ProTools?

Ah, sorry man, I thought you were asking about iOS and RTAS separately so I gave an iOS option hoping someone else would chime in on the RTAS.

If ultimately you want to run in Pro Tools I would suggest going for something native and not separately running through your iPad or something.

Since X50 doesn't do RTAS as far as I know, I would recommend IK Amplitube, and specifically the ENGL Powerball or the SLO 100 model. Those are really good. In terms of cabs in Amplitube, the Closed Modern 2 and Metal T1 cabs are pretty cool. Or you could go with external IRs but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

ok, this is a DAMN GOOD news! :kickass:
I have been using amplitube metal on my win DAW. It was an old version, the first release i think, and it was nothing good. I mean, It was like 7 or 8 years ago, so maybe I'd need to give to amplitube an second chance.
Are you talking about amplitube metal or just amplitube 3?

No clue whether these amps are included in Amplitube Metal now, but they ARE among the newer ones, so definitely newer than 7 or 8 yeras old. I run Amplitube Custom Shop and just bought a bunch of amps "a la carte", which is also what I would recommend. Cheers

I was thinking to get the Custom Shop version too. I was reading that you have some free amps to use? I mean, there is something useful included in the free version or I'll need to buy everything?
I have read about the 72h full demo, too. that's amazing.

Sorry man, don't remember what's included in terms of free amps. Maybe just demo it?
 
Just found this on my youtube favs.


so, please add the Rosen Digital to the main list. :kickass:

Very interesting list of free amp-sims from some Russian guy. Amps include Krank Revolution, Krankenstein, 6505, Dual Recto, Engl Invader, JCM800 etc.

To me these sound great but I wonder what some of you guys with your mixing magic could do with these.

I tried some of the Taranov sims. They all sound quite good, but I'm not so sure about the way the EQs and other knobs are modeled/simulated. The optimal sound for all of his sims is with everytning at noon, gain, low, mid, high, etc. Everything at noon. And they are very sensitive. You turn a knob by a small amount and it changes a lot the tone. It doesn't behave at all like the real amp.

I have an Invader and I was super excited about finding an Invader sim, but in the end it is not quite what I was hoping for.
