Still gassing for a Bogner Uberschaal & Diesel VH 4 model, but loving the Nolly!

Nolly already has MIDI learn capabilities so you can easily control parameters and switch presets with an external controller!
Especially if you run it in Standalone, not even a DAW would be required. All you'd need is an interface, laptop, and a MIDI switching system.
We are working to add this fetaure on the other products as well.
Nothing as of yet, we've gotten quite a few requests from several artists and brands recently, but we have been forced to decline many of them so we can stay focused.
But I will keep that in mind, I have no contact with Strymon but the Walrus guys had been Darkglass' neighbours at NAMM many years and good dudes! Same goes for Earthquaker, great pedal company and awesome people running it.
Please PLEASE add a Super Kraken to that list, with the matching Victory 2x12 cab. Or do a Rabea Massad Archetype signature, whichever.I guess we'll inevatbly get to those sooner or later.
First off, the HX Stomp does have balanced output. You would just need a balanced TRS cable that has an XLR at one end.- selling my Helix LT and getting the HX Stomp only for live playing. But it doesn't have the XLR to go directly to PA, right? If so this is the only thing that's bugging me
- getting the Nolly plugin for home recording and playing. I record my own stuff and I'm wondering if it'll deliver sounds that fit my needs. I'll try it over the weekend and see if it sounds good enough.
You'll propably say "why you don't use the Helix for all that?" Well, it only sounds good when playing live in my situation. Maybe it's the monitors fault but it just doesn't sound so good while playing at home and it slays at rehealsals.
Hey guys. Since the Nolly plugin is getting all the love, do you think it will be enough just for home recording? Here's my idea:

Nolly plugin is made stricte for playing at home through monitors and that's why this idea pierced my tiny mind.
Thanks in advance for the tips and pros/cons and sorry for the offtop.

What setup are you using live? If you're using a poweramp into a cab, it may just be that you don't like playing through monitors. I don't personally. That means it doesn't matter whether you get the best amp sim in the world, you'll still be limited because you're playing through monitors.
Do you use 3rd party IR's for Helix? I would have to say the Nolly plugin, or any of the plugins from Neural for me sound better than Helix.
What I am waiting for is a proper EVH 5150 III from Neural. I used to have that head, and miss it terribly. I'd love to see that head emulated.
I normally use the stock cabs because I never found good souding 3rd party. I've never bought any because they can be expensive (sad reactions only) so that's may be the problem - the free ones maybe just suck.
I've tried packs from most of the well known IR brands. My recommendation is to buy a Heavy Hitter pack from OwnHammer and call it a day. They are incredibly high quality and offer a good amount of variety and their IR mixes are pretty dang good so you don't have to go through the trouble of mixing them yourself unless you want something very, very specific.

If you have a particular fondness of Fender or Vox cleans and also like Mesa's cabs then I'd go with their Core Tone Bundle. There's a nice Marshall cab in there too which I use for a lot of things, though it doesn't really do metal all that well. I do like the Recto cab in there though and that does high gain tones very well. The pack is 20 bucks less than either of the two Heavy Hitter packs but obviously doesn't include as many high-gain focused cabs as either of those two, but it does have more variety. If you're not a big Fender or Vox tone lover then I'd go with Heavy Hitter II. It has two 2x12 and two 4x12 and includes more variety than volume one which has four different 4x12s. Personally I like using 2x12s for cleans.Mainly high gain tones and ambient cleans
Glad to hear it! I'm also a big fan of their Massively-Multi Mic'd cab libraries, too, particularly the 412 MRBW GNR one; it's by far the most versatile single-cab collection I've ever seen and there's not a bad sound to be had in there.I just bought the Heavy Hitter pack solely because of your post (well, also because a ton of people have praised it over the years). Hope I won't be disappointed.
Edit: I wasn't disappointed.![]()
meant iLok .. auto correct is stupidFacing problems loading the plugin in Garageband . It gives me a pace service not running message. I have contacted ok n apparently it is a known issue with dsp neural products. Is anyone using Garageband?
