- Two channels (stereo mode to be able to handle double tracks). Each channel is activated when there is a signal at its input, which saves CPU resources.

I dont care what others say but to me this is the best ampsim out there. There is something in 8505 that sounds more "organic" than the others. Still use it every time I mix. Thanks man.

Nick, thanks a lot !
A stereo version of your 8505 will be very useful.
Are there any changes / additions in sound in regard to the older version, or is it the same exact code ?

 

[NickCrow]

Is it the same exact code.

 

[TRUIE]

Ok, nice !
Thanks again, a stereo version will definitely be very useful.

Any body care to suggest the best IR for this sim? For metal mostly if possible.
I have a project coming up I have to use a sim for so looking for the best options.
Cheers.

Clark Kent's Perfect IR is pretty cool imho and there was a pack of Harley Benton V30 impulses around
that featured one IR called sneap or something like that, really digging that one.

If you want them Nigel, just hit me up on Facebook.

Does the "lead" mean this is intended to be used for leads only, i.e. lacks enough bass response to be used for rhythm guitars?

Isn't this channel on the 5150 called 'lead'? The one with the most gain

That makes sense! I've never had a 5150...or any amp head, for that matter

A lot of amps will call the "main" distortion the Lead Channel. Whatev. I use it for rhythm.
