Sorry but if that's a real amp then it was recorded very badly.

 

[Carcass29]

it's a VST I found on the net...

 

[Razorjack]

I use own that. It isn't a free VST, just to let you know. It was pretty good when it came out but I never got it to stop having that obvious digital quality.

 

[Kazrog]

Ugh, that sounds awful. That low end is so thumpy.

 

[Carcass29]

sorry guys....that was first try at reamping. I think I'll stick to the POD.

Warp is pretty horrid. My run with it lasted a grand total of an hour or so. Guitar Suite is still the best high-gain software modeller I've heard.

I think juicy77 is better than gsuite. You can disable the speaker emulation thus use impulses. The only downside is that it's cpu hungry. But soundwise, it's the best hi-gain ampsim ever imho.

Tried it, didn't like it. Couldn't get it to sound usable at all. Do you have soundclips?

 

[Ermz]

I remember trying Juicy with the impulses but there were some massive resonances in the low end (could have been due to the impulses) and a lack of mids (possibly also due to the impulses).

Trying it without the impulses left a lot to be desired, IMO.

D'oh! Next time I'll keep my mouth shut cause after trying to make a cool great sounding clip out of it, not only I have to admit that I play like shit but It doesn't sound that good.
I think the trick is that it "feels" cool when I play through it, but when I listen back to it "in the mix", I wanna puke. I take back what I said.

I tried that too and it sounded like crap until I scolled down on the VST and saw the cabinet emulation control on Juicy77. Turn it off and use your impulses (if you haven't already). I think Juicy77 sounds a little bit better than guitarsuite this way.

Splatt...how do you turn off cab em and add impulses to it? ...I dl'ed Juicy77 and it's just a little box when loaded in my VST in Waves..thanks

The bottom bar should say "Speaker Cabinet..." or something - slide it all the way to the left so the model listed is "Speaker Cabinet" as well.

ok cool...I did that earlier messing around with it...now how do you load the impulse you want to use?

Try this for shits... I did this once and decided to sell my PODxt because of it. I don't have a functional PC at home at the moment so this is from memory:

Voxengo Tube Amp > Juicy77 (no speaker emulation) > Guitar Suite JCM900

Use moderate settings and tweak it in stages. Think of Voxengo as a slight boost pedal, Juicy77 as the pre gain, and Guitar Suite as the post gain and speaker cab.

 

[Ermz]

Does anyone find that Juicy has massive CPU load spikes? I thought it was a denormalisation problem, but running GVST on all kinds of settings didn't work.

 

[RemoWilliams]

Didn't that one Chimp Spanner guy do some cool songs with Warp Vst and with the first Amplitube?

I'll try it....
