Revalver or Pod Farm platinum?

[MetalJonesy]

Im getting some money thru for an injury claim, and im already getting an SM7, but could do with a decent amp sim, ive got podfarm already, but im after something versitile for demo tracking and DI tracking.

is it worth upgrading podfarm for the other amp models, or do i go with revalver?

 

[Jaymz]

Id go Podfarm

Ohhh tough, I just bought Platinum myself just like 3-4 days ago. Honestly either one would be cool but PODfarm seems way more versatile. You get bass amps, tons more effects, etc. Plus even though I really love the sound of MKIII and don't think anything else comes as close, MKIII was quite buggy for me unfortunately. PODfarm hasn't given me a single issue yet in the 3 months or so I've been using it consistently.

Oh, and by the way. You can purchase PODfarm Platinum licenses from this eBay dealer for $129+$25 iLok transfer fee.

That's who I purchased from and had my license within the hour deposited to iLok.

I didn't really like either, and went with TH1. It seems I'm like the only one here who uses it though.

I just fell in love with my POD Farm again after long time using other modelling software. I still prefer the freeware VSTs for rythm guitars, but for leads, bass, clean guitars... It's still my nº1 choice. It's so versatile...

Personally I feel Revalver sounds more realistic, and the tweaking of the power tubes etc is pretty cool. But Podfarm is waayyyyyyy more versatile. The Triple Rec model is awesome.

POD Farm is WAAAAAAY more CPU friendly as well.

POD Farm.
I like Revalver, but in the end I did not end up buying it and I just use 8505 for my 6505/5150 style duties, so I just ended up deleting Revalver off my PC.

I love Revalver's Peavey amps. the other ones are decent.

Nope, here's another (Triode TH1). I used almost every amp sim so far - Line6-stuff didn't do it for, as well as Guitar Rig. Both sound artificial to me...I discovered that TH1 has by far the best recto sim and just Revalver can hold it almost up concerning authenticate reproduction of amps for me.

Peavey Refuses to Update Revalver mk III....there are quite a few annoying bugs they havent fixed......so i wouldn't buy Revalver

 

[lordtech]

i own Podfarm but not yet the platinum. I have revalver MKII as well. Yes, podfarm is wayyy much versatile compared to mkIII.

 

[TheDriller]

I own PodFarm Platinum, i get great use out of it and it ends up being used extensively in every mix, not only on guitars.

Its very light on the cpu too.

and i was never too impressed with the Revalver demo when i tried it out.

No you're not, TH1 is the best of a mediocre bunch.

Revalver sounds more "organic" IMO, you can tweak it to fuck.
Pod Farm Platinum has endless amps with one tone each.
Both are versatile in different ways.
I would probably pick Revalver if I had to choose one, but I own both and I use them for different things...

 

[MetalJonesy]

well i currently own podfarm and im pleased with what it can do, but need a varied tone (the bogener and peavey sound really).

Id have to say that the the fact it doesnt drain too much on the CPU is ideal and ive had no issues with the standard version which i have used many instances of in sessions without trouble!

cheers for the replys guys, much appreciated, looks like Pod Farm Platinum it will be

Oh and Mike, cheers for that link, hopefully ill have the money real soon so i can go ahead!

Agree. It is very very good - but I do prefer some of the freeware nowadays to the onboard models in PodFarm.

I choose Podfarm, always hated the 5150 on revalver, it sounded always like shit.
Podfarm as has been said offers a lot more and I even like those eq's and compressors (api neve emulation)

 

[jarenare]

POD is sooooooo much versatile than MKIII, and much easy to tweak. For 5150 sounds, you can use the 8505.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Whoa, things have changed. It wasn't long ago when everyone was praising Rev MKIII over the Line6 stuff. Whatever happened to the "distinct pod fizz", "plastic tone" and most of all, the "processed sound?" Attack Attack?

I still prefer Revalver for metal rhythm tones, if I have to use a sim. It sounds much more like a real amp to my ears. PodFarm, on the other hand, has excellent delays and I end up using it for lead tones every now and then.
