X50 v2.0

[onqel]

Comparing your screenshots there's a difference on the presence setting

So, here we go:
TSE X50 v1.0.2 vs TSE X50 v2.0

Using the exact same settings in the two versions.
Here the captures:
Settings X50 v1.0.2
Settings X50 v2.0

Chain:
Hellraiser C7 -> Countryman Type 85 -> Scarlett 6i6 -> TSE X50
(It's my first test, no bass here, guitars RAW, no EQ, no processing, only TSE X50)

Cheers!

EDIT: Sorry, I made bad the comparition
I will reload now the good version
new x50 sounds WAY BETTER (IMO)

 

[texisthebest]

I'm sorry!!! I have REUPLOAD the test, this time well!!!


EDIT: The test had some mistakes, diferent vol, diferent configuration, now it´s the same and vol matched.
-new TSE sounds WAY better (IMO)

Thanks to onqel for inviting me into the beta program.
Having everything in 1 plugin is fantastic (TS>amp>IR loader>EQ)
Here is my first test.
VERY impressed with the sound.
I am listening at home on MBP through Sony MDR-V55 cans.
Here is a wav using my own impulse with no post processing whatsoever.
Toneboosters Barricade to get to 0db.

Here is the IR used for this test. Feel free to download and use it.
It is 6505 rtn res7, pres 8 to recto cab to 57 to API

sounding excellent! cant wait for release!

 

[Spectivum]

Oh boy. this is more interesting than going out on a Saturday night. sad
v2 sounds more greasy and the distortion is more even over the spectrum so when drums come in in the comparison the guitars are less masked. that will be useful!
Mickrich, since your IR was captured with higher res/pres, how did you set those sim knobs?

 

[mickrich]

Set at 7 and 7.
The power amp (and res, pres) can be bypassed but the dynamic power amp sim is super so I left it on.
Technically this means the sound is going through a simulated and real power amp but if it sounds good, it is good ;-)

 

[Red Phoenix]

I don't use amp sims anymore but this looks (and sounds) so awesome! If the price is right i might buy it anyway just to support that work..

 

[mickrich]

Did the ultimate test of the X50 (work in progress beta) today and it passed with flying colours !
I recorded my 6505 to mesa cab with my usual settings and re-amped a left/right track.
Then set up X50 with the same settings (power amp sim off) on left/right DI tracks.
Used my own impulse of the real amp setup.
These were pretty close but then I put a match eq on to eq the X50 to the real amp and it is PERFECT.

Now the ultimate test.
Random switching between the real 6505 and the match EQed X50.

indeed very close..and now add the old version 1 to the comparison!
x50 is still a bit grainier than the real one but that's not bad at all. i which the real amp would be a bit grainier and not that round or polished :/

was it the red or green channel? i would guess the red because i never get the green to sound like that

Then set up X50 with the same settings (power amp sim off) on left/right DI tracks.
Used my own impulse of the real amp setup.
These were pretty close but then I put a match eq on to eq the X50 to the real amp and it is PERFECT.

Freaking awesome comparison!!!!!
Using this match EQ technique this X50 is acting as a PC/MAC Kemper. :Shedevil:
There are lots of tonal possibilities playing with poweramp, impulses, Delay, EQ. This X50 has born to be a HiGain Monster.

Onqel is seriously working his ass off on this plugin.

Yeah he is, and he's been extremely open to all our input. This amp rig will not disappoint.



mickrich, that sounds excellent!

will buy if I am able to use any vst head with the rack. I like x50 but also lecto and hybrit and x40. will that be possible?

 

[Ericlingus]

how many IR's can you load in the IR loader? Is it limited to just one or two? I miss not having lecab2 now that I'm using win7 64bit. I sometimes like to use 3 or 4 cab sims at once.

 

[onqel]

Ericlingus: One IR at the moment, but I will be adding a second slot before final release.

Star Ark: There is no VST host in this plugin to replace the amp itself, but everything could be disabled so you can be running the parts you need in worst case
