Been getting back into plugins. Having to fight between getting this or the ML Mark 5. :lol:
I've not tried the Amped Mk 5 so can't compare. Reaxis is definitely worth trying but they the exact interface from the hardware unit and it is less than intuitive. I'd recommend downloading the Triaxis manual and using that to help you come to grips with Reaxis. Once you're used to it, it's quite straightforward.

I'm pretty familiar with the Mark series and the TriAxis so I think I can get a feel for both. I'm gonna have to demo them when I can.

I'd not recommend the ML5. It doesnt dial like a Mark for starter. It just has that dry, middy sounds that imitated a Mark but not actually a Mark. The TriAxis is not perfect but it does dial like a Mark and pair it with an EQ pedal plugin between it and IR and you can have a lot of versatility.

I'm guessing this was it? :lol:

yeah I tried a demo of the ML5 and wasn't impressed. The ReAxis demo sounded muuuuch more in line with what I wanted.

This has been my experience also. I am still kinda disappointed that I actually bought it.

It's not terrible for a 6 string sound, maybe even a 7. I got some half decent tones for stuff like Dream Theater's Images and Words. But whenever I plug in my 8 string (with Fluence Moderns), the lower notes sound like cardboard. Trying to play Awaken the Master on it is not a great experience. There's just a lack of depth to it that I don't get with other amp sims. I'm better off trying to get as close as I can with other amps/sims in most cases.

Yep sounds about what I experienced. Didn't really sound as good as the ReAxis, or even the Helix Mk4 or Axe FX Mark-series amps to me.

I'm curious if it's just not an accurate enough plugin, or if that's just the inherent tone of the Mark 5? I will admit I never tried a Mark 5 so I c an't say.

Seriously guys, I can’t say this enough.

Mercuriall sims fuckin rule, and this is coming from a guy that owns all their sims, a bunch of Kazrog shit including their newest one, and all the NDSP shit.

Mercuriall is tiers above.

Welp. :lol: I'm guessing Mercuriall's bogner sim is better too.

I'm glad they got amps to cover different bases. The SS11X and Bogner plugins for thicc sounds, the E530 for more modern tight shit, a Marshall plugin, and a TriAxis plugin to do pretty much it all.

The amazing about Spark is that if i actually feed it a TS9/808 emu in front and play downtuned guitar i'd get a very close sound to the Nameless.

Said it before and I’ll say it again; don’t sleep on that chorus pedal. It’ll thicken it up and make that playing solo into headphones a religious experience.

The oversampling is the best feature compared to other sims. Everyone who makes vsts should be adding this. For saturation plugins it just makes everything so good. :agreed:
