    Polychrome DSP new plugin from McRocklin

    Already have Helix Native. :) At some point I want to snag a Morningstar MC6 Pro and put a little board together with an expression controller and a couple boutique fuzz pedals.

    Polychrome DSP new plugin from McRocklin

    Well it's been a year since this thread poured out a whole pitcher of haterade. In case anyone is curious to try it, it's on sale for $74 for their one year sale. And they also have a new separate Crybaby modeled plugin. I can't tell if it's identical to the one included with the Suite or if...

    7 string with 24.75 (Gibson) scale. Is it practical?

    Yup. I personally don't think 24.75" scale is ideal or useful for anything lower than Drop D or maybe C. Anything beyond that is going to require fat strings for tuning stability and proper intonation. And it probably won't sound good with high gain. When it comes to string gauge I always try...

    Experiment with your input/output impedance settings for the loops on the Stomp XL and see if Instrument vs. Line Level works better. Some amps have really finicky effects loops for their input/output impedance. Usually Instrument level works best. Finally, within the HX Stomp, you can add a...

    I thought you were also using an HX Stomp with your Amp1 like me?

    Driftwood Purple Nightmare Preamp Pedal

    That’s like saying a Ferrari is a bargain compared to a Bugatti.

    And there will be space for 99 effects in each slot. That should be ... sufficient.

    And a compressor slot in there too, I think before the boost? If he does end up putting some pitch effects in there I will become a bit more interested/persuaded to switch over and maybe ditch the HX Stomp/Amp1 IE combo. Though I think I may wait a while to see how the dust settles. I have a...

    FInally some real-life sounds! New SPJ video/interview with Thomas is up. It appears they're recording direct into an interface. In case the time code link doesn't work, start the video around 10:10. And maybe there are still some bugs to work out. Thomas starts fiddling with one of the...

    Lol Do you think you could do a blind test to discern bitrate of drum samples?

    Maybe a multiband compressor or dynamic eq?

    Yes, you can absolutely do everything manually if you want. You can do your own midi grooves, manually select all your kit pieces, turn off the effects in the mixer, etc etc. The only thing you can't do in EZDrummer is multiple drum layers on a paritcular kit piece. That's only possible in...

    $2k puts it in line with a Helix or Fractal, and it arguably has similar overall capabilities at the outset. Don't underestimate Blug's name recognition.

    It's not like anyone can do a proper demo in NAMM, it seems, because it's so busy and noisy.

    Join the waitlist for both and see which one pops up first. :fever:

    You can already get those sounds with either of the Amp1 models right now without having to wait around for this. If you combine either one of them with an HX Stomp, you can fill in basically every amp sound "gap" that either the Mercury or the Iridium doesn't cover. For instance, you can get...

    And some other German metal band guitarists as well. Or at least he borrowed some German modded Marshall for one of the extremes on the tone stack of the classic channel.

    IMO it looks a lot better than the first iteration. What don't you like about the current version?

    Blu Guitar Amp-X

    If Thomas markets this thing well enough, I'm sure it's going to sell quite well. All the important effects that tend to sound better (or at least in most guitar players' perception or usability) are analogue, as well as all of the "amp models" (preamps, virtual soldering iron, etc.) If the...

    Blu Guitar Amp-X

    Here's the livestream preview of the Amp X before they head into NAMM this weekend. One interesting quirk on this: Thomas was so fixated on using combination jacks for the 1/4" line outs to access different modes (mic or line level) with different plugs being used, that he forgot that the only...
