The living and breathing dynamic range of a tube amp is the hardest thing to recreate, whereas sounds and tones are subjective to one’s taste. You will find your tube said: agreed there’s nothing quite like a real tube amp, specifically how the tubes react to playing and picking dynamics. Some rigs have 300 captures and only 10 presets, others have 50 captures and 70 presets. The one amp rigs are captured ad nauseam, and the rigs with several amps have fewer iterations of each. If you hone in on an amp you want, you won’t be disappointed in its Rig version. Yes $18-$26 is a lot to pay for one rig but each comes with 50-100 captures of different setting iterations, they can be adjusted like regular amps but work better as presented, and you can add all the stompboxes around them. They also have a few more vintage rigs and plenty of metal ones. They’re not the sims which are also great, they’re the captured Rigs. If we’re talking real amps on the verge of breaking up, their Rigs for Fender Bassman and Super Reverb and the Orange and Vox rigs are REAL. I don’t know your preferred style but if you are looking for one wrapper with everything and midi I’d consider Overloud. They keep getting closer agreed there’s nothing quite like a real tube amp, specifically how the tubes react to playing and picking dynamics. Still, for me, nothing sounds or feels like a tube amp on the verge of breaking up. I will definitely check out the other two as well. I intend to do a deep dig into the Nembrini apps while I am on vacation next week. One of the things I like about Bias FX is that everything(amps,fx,cabs, IR's) is in one wrapper. Out of curiosity have you tried any of the latest batches of amp sims: THU Overloud, Nembrini or Mooer GE Labs? No modeling app comes close to the feel of a great tube amp yet. I had a stroke a couple years ago so I can't lug my tube amps to gigs. Also put a tube screamer in front of the amp in Biasfx with the drive turned down works wonders to fatten up a Marshall model. I use them to tame any fizziness or annoying frequencies. I have better tone than most local players. I have been gigging with BiasFX into my Bose L1 model 2 for a couple years now. The short answer, PG has been surpassed but experienced simmers have invested and can get great sounds out of said: I think Ge Labs is the wild card, as it has tonal elements of Bias and Overloud, and the most interesting pricing model. it’s not even close if we’re talking real analog amp sound fidelity. I don’t think it’s a fair contest to compare Overloud and Nembrini to Bias, Amplitube, Tonestack, Depthlike, etc. Why? Because they sound so much better to me and so much more real than the other apps. I have all the Nembrini amps and the Overloud full pack plus 11 rigs. Now, I have completely gone crazy with Nembrini and Overloud. I was much much more impressed with Ge Labs on first impression. I recently watched two lengthy YouTube demos on FX2, one sounded horrible and the other sounded amazing, so I’m sure there’s a path to good tone there. I think the overall feeling I got was “fizzy”, which in turn seemed digital. It’s how people felt about Cubasis, there was no path to upgrade from CB2 to CB3 and CB3 was crash city.Īll that aside, I played around with the FX2 free demo and was not compelled to go in on it. I’m pretty new to iOS sims and only started shopping this year, it seemed like many were angry with PG because there was no path to upgrade from FX1, and FX2 started out buggy at first and with no midi.
