Waylander69 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Just wanted to know what the alternatives were. I use an axe fx ii at home but when away I'm using software on my Mac when playing guitar. However struggling to get the same level of guitar tone ..

Ploki Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 It's just convolution, they sound as good as the impulse responses you load into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 There's plugins certainly allowing for easier/quicker IR loading, which is rather important in case you want to scroll through what usually is an almost endless pile of cab IRs. Two free ones come to my mind: Pulse from Rosen Digital Audio and LeCab from LePou. https://www.rosendigitalaudio.com/pulse/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1BFovJ28GfzVERzUGhEdEx0VTQ/view (the last being a direct download link, for more info check https://lepouplugins.blogspot.com/) Pulse allows for A/Bing between two IRs, LeCab loads up to 8 IRs simultaneously. Fwiw, if you move song files between computers a lot, Space Designer might be a better choice, though - as it allows you to save the IRs within the project folder/package. And btw, some people don't seem to be aware of it, but you can drag and drop IRs to SD straight from Finder. Just make sure to set the mix to 100% wet. I wish it had a sample loading function similar to Ultrabeat, allowing you to prelisten to samples in context before you actually load them.

Waylander69 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Excellent many thanks gives me options , I have lots of IR's 90% from ownhamer as wav files . So sometimes the whole searching for the "right" IR can be tedious. My main goal is to create tones to use when playing my guitar through my scarlet interface into main stage. Any other thoughts that may compliment this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers G \../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 What are you using as an amp sim right now? Have you tried the demo of S-Gear? It's a pretty complete amp sim that might save you from the IR rabbit hole. IMO the best sounding one out of those I tried. The Logic amps really don't make it (apart from some tweed models that are ok-ish) and they are the noisiest amp sims I've ever stumbled upon, which makes any gainier stuff pretty impossible to achieve.

Ploki Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 One of the amp sims i most like is BIAS Amp. Very tweakable too. Out of logic i only really like "Boutique Retro" model. if you're looking for freebies, this one is also guitar dedicated and has an IR loader: https://www.voxengo.com/product/boogex/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 For all sorts of freebies, check kvraudio. As far as BIAS amps and stuff goes, IMO that company does everything as wrong as it gets (the amp sims are sounding good, though). Their license model is awkward, to say the least. Squeezing every ounce of money out of you. Probably learned that from Apple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Fwiw, this here is quite decent for freeware: https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_FreeAmp/ Unfortunately you can't turn the cab sim off and use your own IRs, that'd make it a lot better. But then, it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the demo and it was super-fun fiddling with it. What i like about voxengo is that you can load your own IRs, and preamp section is still decent. For my purposes, Amp Designer is fine, and when its not and i cant use the real thing, I use a home-made IR of Mesa Boogie Mark V These freebies are also surprisingly good sounding. I only use LeGion https://lepouplugins.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Sascha Franck Posted October 7, 2018 Solution Share Posted October 7, 2018 Fwiw, I have *zero* of an idea why this has slipped my attention so far, but I'm fooling around with the free plugins from Ignite Amps pretty much all day. They have two stomp boxes, two preamps, one full amp (the amps all featuring multiple channels) and a zero latency IR loader. In a nutshell: Everything you need for bread and butter. And they're sounding friggin' excellent IMO. The guy is more or less promoting them for heavier stuff, but all of the amps are extremely versatile and cover pretty much anything you might be asking for, especially when you combine them with quality IRs. Bottomline: Highly recommended! https://www.kvraudio.com/developer/ignite-amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander69 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Just been looking at the kvraudio website very well done and need to start downloading asap , need bandwidth and time ( at work ;( Thanks again for your excellent suggestions lots to play with , feedback to follow Cheers G \../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander69 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Managed to download the ignite Sims last night but even after an hour I realised these are pretty Danny special Thanks for the pointer looking forward to checking out the rest Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Managed to download the ignite Sims last night but even after an hour I realised these are pretty Danny special What do you mean with "Danny special"? I think they're very versatile and I can get pretty much any sounds out of them, from funky and jazzy cleans, to bluesy grit and heavy crunch and leads. Here's a pretty typical signal chain: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander69 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 LOL autocorrect on mobile phone strikes again, what I meant to say was " pretty damn special " which was me being polite for friggin hell they're awesome , Totally blown away with the initial impression of how realistic they are compare to the other sims I have been using not mentioning names to protect the inocent who need people to pay there wages. More time will be spent on the ignite amp sims thats for sure as well as trying out the other suggestions BTW I found that T-screamer a few months ago and use it a lot, but for last night I just used the same as you but with ignite tube screamer stomp varient cheers dude G \../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Quick note: As I'm still in the process of organizing the disk/file structure of this Mac Pro, I moved a project containing some IRs loaded through NadIR. The IR slots turned up to be empty - for obvious reasons perhaps, and I certainly won't complain ad it's free, but if it was a professional product, there should be an "IR file not found, search?" option as on, say, software samplers. As is, you can basically never move a project, because even if you reopen it from the same place, while the IR will be loaded, the path-memory is gonna be lost, so there's no way to manually reload things, either (NadIR it doesn't display the loaded filenames). Will be having a look whether others are doing it the same, otherwise it's back to Space Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander69 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi Just a quick update chaps , spent the last couple of weeks playing with the ingnite amp sims, well impressed with the whole stomp, amp, power and ir pluggin chain, working well , just need to find the time to try the other amp sims , thanks for the help all G \../ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Franck Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, it's easy to get lost in all these. And to make things even harder, here's yet another free one I like quite a bit: https://www.kuassa.com/products/amplifikation-lite/ Works fine as is but starts to shine once you switch the cab off and use some of your favourite IRs instead. Seems to work pretty well with pedals. Fwiw, there's a free supposed-to-be TS clone from Mercuriall that fortunately doesn't sound all that much like an original TS (I own one, never liked it...): https://mercuriall.com/cms/details_freestuff - the other freebies there are quite nice, too.
