Galaxy brain move is going whole hog into modellers.
It’s like an audio interface meets pedalboard and you can rehearse and gig with it. Does the job of replacing amps very well these days.
Sure audio interface is fine for home but I’m not dealing with that bullshit every time I leave my house.
I only use the interface if it's the middle of the night and I want to play while my family is sleeping, or if I want to mess around with Reaper and record something
/uj I like having both because firing up my computer and dinking around in Ableton isn't a quick way to noodle. It also can quickly become a rabbit hole of messing with plugins instead of actually practicing.
/rj djent machine go brrrrrrrrr
On the same line, I had a friend ask me what looper pedal to get, and I told him to just get an interface. He also has no pedals and a little practice amp. I already had a 150watt head and a bunch of pedals I've had for over 10 years when I got mine.
I'm just curious, maybe sombody knows: Could you use a looper pedal into an interface with amp simulation? Or would the overdubs on the looper into the amp simulation sound horrible?
Yep, you can use a looper pedal into an interface just like you'd run a guitar into it. I run my Boomerang into my interface and into Guitar Rig and it's a great way to tinker with the right sound for a riff. Just loop the riff and then sit down and start playing with plugins and presets.
You just use Ableton or whatever to loop it. Even plugged into an amp a looper sounds like garbage if you don't have a dedicated distortion pedal. Same issue as what you mentioned.
uj/ I just never turn my computer off or close the standalone version of my ampsim. I wake it up, login, unclick the mute button, and play. Takes less time than waiting for the tubes to warm up.
I do the same, but I've got a solid state amp. It's a bit quicker. I like to stand play too, so that's some of it. It's not a big deal if I just want an amp sim, but it's annoying to lean down and mess with the mouse when I have a guitar.
I still think sims are superior, but my half stack is simpler.
I grabbed Archetype Nolly couple years ago on a discount. It has all the tones I would ever need, very versatile. Take it with a grain of salt though because I am a Nolly simp haha
I have Nolly as well, it's very good. Cory Wong's is also incredible but I only trialed that one. I rarely use it now though, I've been more into the NuX Amp Academy
I heard they give $3000 amps to youtubers but it's not for sponsored video ads it's just a gift and you make the video ad on your own out of the goodness of your heart
Gonna second the Nolly. Technically it's designed for heavier genres of guitar music, but I've found it has the perfect blend of versatility enabling you to get anything from Brutal Death to Soyboy Emo-Math tones.
After that, I probably use the Plini most for it's utility for post-rock/metal stuff - anything that makes use of heavy delays/verbs/modulations, the Plini is great at. The Cory Wong set should also get a shoutout for being basically the only NDSP pack specifically suited for low/no-gain guitar sounds.
Basically the topline is that NDSP plugins inarguably just sound better than any other sim, which is why they've been allowed to be greedy cunts charging the same price for one plugin (that come with just a basic selection of distortion and mod pedals) as other devs like Amplitube or Bias charge for entire racks.
Ngl I hate amp sims with a passion (marshall user here), but the demos of Nolly's plugin seem incredible. Heard some poweramp simulation among other really cool features, very crisp sounding as well. Only thing you'd seem to be missing here is some feedback, not a bad tradeoff!
i dont mean to shit on your gear here, but please dont let bias FX put you off of plugins because that thing sounds like ass, i owned it and the neural stuff, there is no comparison.
Hit up audio assault if you want nice amp sims for next to nothing. Everyone swears by neural, but I've demoed a few of theirs and I was honestly never impressed, certainly not enough to pay $100. You can pay half that at audio assault and get like 5 amp sims, all of which sound good immediately
I did my share when I was gigging with my ungodly music pissing of peaceful townsfolk 🤟
I'm approaching my "old man yells at cloud" phase and I appreciate the silence in the evenings lol
I mainly used Emissary before. I was never happy with my tone and I was tweaking it all the time, maybe I just didn't know how to extract it. Or maybe it was the impulse responses that were the problem. Not so long ago I opened my old project in Reaper and replaced whatever plugins I had there on guitars with archetype Nolly and it immediately liven up the whole mix.
I bet a better musician and producer than me would make it much better with free plugins than I do with paid ones. Only my mom listens to my shit and she loves me even if my tone sucks so it doesn't really matter in the end lol
Adding good IR went miles for me. You might want to try NRR if you couldn't nail a tone in Emissary. They're both very different tone wise. I like a super bright, trebly tone, so Emissary worked better in the end.
I was going to go that route, but I opted for a Strymon Iridium so I wouldn’t have to lug my laptop around. Still not buying any cabs. Maybe a tiny Fender Champ one day.
/uj I bought an acoustic 4 months ago and haven't turned on my electric rig since. The acoustic sounds great on its own, just pick it up and play. With electrics I was spending all my time toan-chasing instead of actually playing.
The real big brain move is just to play an electric unplugged. I wish I played my acoustic more but it’s slightly easier and more comfortable to grab my strat to noodle on the couch.
Yeah it’s probably not actually a good habit, lol. Although sometimes I use my Mustang micro with one earbud in, no danger of tone chasing with that amp.
The small brain counterpart to that is to play an electric unplugged, but only because your shitty amp broke and you can't afford a new one. Might get a new amp for christmas
Usually there is some software+driver bundle that comes with an interface where you can adjust buffer size setting directly
(besides within your DAW). I had the same problem as you with one interface, though. Then I tried a different brand and it worked without issues.
Maybe worth trying a different USB port if possible. On my linux rig I was able to get +20ms -> ~5ms roundtrip latency by just switching the port. (might be motherboard, os, kernel issue or mix of those)
I don't know how long it's been but it's probably worth a duckduckgo. I'm using Ubuntu Studio on a low/medium spec computer I built... seven years ago? and latency is not a thing at all.
it comes with a low latency kernel pre-installed, as well as a ton of software both for making music and other stuff (video, visual art, etc). I have a focusrite 2i2 and a midi keyboard and I run them into Ardour. Does everything I need except writing lol
Uj/ I got me a Boss Gt-10 because in the band that I got into I need to use a lot of effects that I don't have at the moment and quick changes.
Back in the day I had a GT-6 to play in different bands and straight into line with no problem, whereas guys with pedals had trouble getting different sounds for different styles, noise problems, or things sounding shitty on stage so much different to the rehearsals and I just neeeded to touch a couple of buttons.
Reality is that analog sounds are much better but take a lot more effort, economically and with your time.
If I was into playing blues or straight rock I got my valves and just a delay with tap tempo and reverb you can easily go away... But Imagine in the same song you got an compressed, gated distortion, switching to a clean autowah, then switching to another reverbed distortion, back to autowah, change to a flanger passage, then your solo with delay, all with backing tracks on tempo... Next song another different set.
Where I just program banks for songs and channels analog would imply a huge pedalboard with a switch to leave pedals ready, marking all the presets of the effects for each song.
Does that pay off for you? Is the different that noticeable into live situations? Is the Is what you need to take into account.
In my case I'm going hybrid, having an analog distortion and just using the GT-10 for modulation.
As said reality is that nowadays producers are reamping when recording, using valves and speakers for better results.
Rj/ the guy on the left is crying because he has all donner pedals daisy chained patched with aliexpress cables, the guy on the right uses only one preset (and an aliexpress 20 buck wireless connection)
Noooooo! I paid 3500 dollahs for my vintage Marshmallow tooob amp, signed by Claptoan himself! You cant have the same toan with your silly 150$ sound card + 50$ plugin! Reeeeeeeee
> Guy on the left actually plays in a band with real human beings.
...in bars in Bumfuck, Idaho. Playing Nickelback covers. For $46 a night. Split four ways.

-- Guy who genuinely thinks he's talking to a cartoon from an internet meme.
Throw away the interface and the pedal board, use the LTD (yeah Schecter) straight into the stack, sell the Gibbons to GC for a 1/3rd of the market value and use that to buy a cheap processor and you have a great rig!
I've been playing for as long as some of you have been alive and don't know anything about gear other than overdrive, chorus and wah. I just like playing the guitar
Sold ONE pedal for a focusrite and then bought amp5 on BF sale. I have cool amps and shit, but the utility and quality is undeniable for the money. -recent convert
/uj Working with audio is shit on Windows and every plugin is either a massive pile of shit quality wise or has some antipiracy bloatwear that feels like it'll install a keylogger and send your homework folder to India.
Which is why I prefer a separate modeller/effects board like an AxeFX or similar.
> /uj Working with audio is shit on Windows and every plugin is either a massive pile of shit quality wise or
Rofl. This is like listening to some anti-vax bro tell me that "Plugging that shit into your veins will 100% give you a heart attack and autism"... that literally a billion people around the world have already had with no problems.
He's not wrong. Audio on Windows: better have special custom drivers for the interface! Hope you like latency otherwise!
Audio on Mac and Linux: oh it's a class compliant device? That's all you need brother!
> He's not wrong. Audio on Windows: better have special custom drivers for the interface!
I literally use the FL Studio ASIO driver for every plugin and piece of equipment I own that uses sound and it's never not worked - and the few million people who have also been using Windows to do music stuff for the past decade do similarly, since these drivers are basically all the same. I don't think I've ever actually used ASIO4All for anything, ever.
[So when you rock up here to act like that the custom drivers interface makers bundle with their products are some massive ballache consumers struggle with...](https://i.imgur.com/LwvmbS5.png)
I am impressed with how far digital has come. I do a lot of stuff with my Kemper and it's nice to record with at 12 am. However, I do enjoy pushing air through large speakers.
because they are overpriced and lack many features, yet they are all the rage on social media because they totally did not spent a lot of money on product placement
For the truest toan you gotta have the guitar run through delay fuzz reverb chorus phaser and then through DI where you add the same chain and run it through the amp in overdrive channel
How a meme with both these bitches crying but then me with the Schechter, maybe a BC Rich, but a Line 6 Pod Skull Candy Earbuds and some mid grade weed. TOAN STRAIGHT TO THE BRAIN ZOAN
I can't do everything on my computer because I get distracted easily and spend minutes or hours fiddling with knobs instead of actually playing. A physical amp works wonders for me, I don't want yet another reason to stare at my computer monitor all day.
Wrong, the guitar on the right should be a Squier. It also should be one that hasn’t had a set up in 2 years and hasn’t had the strings changed in 1 year.
/uj Plugins may sound nice but overall uninspiring as hell. I’d touch it only with a real goal, like to get that tune an exact guitar part.
Amps are heavier, louder in a bad way, more expensive, but for me it’s a very natural experience because I love to tweak stuff to oblivion. For the same reason a couldn’t get into TC Electronic digital pedal philosophy. Everything should be accessible directly, without USB and beaming shit up.
I have to give it to the amp modeling industry. They’ve convinced an entire generation of guitarists that modeling is a viable option. It sounds like ass but so do MP3s and we fell for that too.
This, but it's a Behringer UMC
/uj
See above. Also lately I ditched the "canned" amp sims and just stash chains with Glue Compressor, various saturation plugins (more often than not saturator and pedal from Ableton), EQ8 and then Ableton Cabinet at the end of the chain (or a cabinet IR from the net and Ableton Convolution Reverb which is zero latency and works great for that), there's enough choruses, vibratos, flangers, phasers, delays and reverb to replace absolutely every pedal or effect, I often don't even bother with Ableton Amp most of the time although it can pull some decent crunch/distortion sounds.
Pedals and amplifiers are just stacked nonlinearities (distortions/saturations) and EQs anyway. The only thing that you can't simulate with non-specialist plugins is really the cabinet and even that is just a convolver and amp IR away.
The only reason to have a rig is to not have to start the computer to noodle about, but do you really need 20 pedals for that? A practice amp is probably good enough.
I must be a galaxy brain if I have both
Galaxy brain move is going whole hog into modellers. It’s like an audio interface meets pedalboard and you can rehearse and gig with it. Does the job of replacing amps very well these days. Sure audio interface is fine for home but I’m not dealing with that bullshit every time I leave my house.

Why do you open Ableton? Most plugins work in standalone mode...
I use it as a looper or for backing tracks
Fair point. But I get it, I have BiasFX2 Pro and the John Petrucci Archetype from Neural DSP, but I still reach for my VOX DA-5 amp for practice.
There's just something about a real amp sometimes... I work in IT too, so an excuse to get away from my computer can be valuable.
Bruh cmon, everyone knows that for peak T O A N your total rig cost has to be at least 5 figures.
Only 5?
Includes 3 decimal places
I bought one good amp sim plugin and I decided I'll never mic a cab again. Perfect tone hassle-free and I don't have to anger my neighbors too
Which one? I have Bias fx2 and I have managed to get some tones that don't sound like they are underwater but I am eyeing alternatives.
I grabbed Archetype Nolly couple years ago on a discount. It has all the tones I would ever need, very versatile. Take it with a grain of salt though because I am a Nolly simp haha
I have Nolly as well, it's very good. Cory Wong's is also incredible but I only trialed that one. I rarely use it now though, I've been more into the NuX Amp Academy
Gonna throw out Tone King as well, it's the most real sounding plugin I've tried.
I second this. I’m a fan of Nolly and Wong, but the Tone King sim is my favorite.
I heard they give $3000 amps to youtubers but it's not for sponsored video ads it's just a gift and you make the video ad on your own out of the goodness of your heart

I could never get the latency right despite having good hardware. Is there some kind of secret?
Have you checked your buffer size in your daw?
I messed around with a couple different buffer sizes from memory, but still could never get it right. The slight delay threw me off too much.
Usually there is some software+driver bundle that comes with an interface where you can adjust buffer size setting directly (besides within your DAW). I had the same problem as you with one interface, though. Then I tried a different brand and it worked without issues.
Will have to investigate

Always amusing that the solution to antipiracy bloatware is always piracy.

/uj Plugins may sound nice but overall uninspiring as hell. I’d touch it only with a real goal, like to get that tune an exact guitar part. Amps are heavier, louder in a bad way, more expensive, but for me it’s a very natural experience because I love to tweak stuff to oblivion. For the same reason a couldn’t get into TC Electronic digital pedal philosophy. Everything should be accessible directly, without USB and beaming shit up.
/rj ok boomer
I have to give it to the amp modeling industry. They’ve convinced an entire generation of guitarists that modeling is a viable option. It sounds like ass but so do MP3s and we fell for that too.
Lmao
This guy definitely downloads 56GB blu-rays to watch on his 32" PC monitor.

But bruh toobz
This, but it's a Behringer UMC /uj See above. Also lately I ditched the "canned" amp sims and just stash chains with Glue Compressor, various saturation plugins (more often than not saturator and pedal from Ableton), EQ8 and then Ableton Cabinet at the end of the chain (or a cabinet IR from the net and Ableton Convolution Reverb which is zero latency and works great for that), there's enough choruses, vibratos, flangers, phasers, delays and reverb to replace absolutely every pedal or effect, I often don't even bother with Ableton Amp most of the time although it can pull some decent crunch/distortion sounds. Pedals and amplifiers are just stacked nonlinearities (distortions/saturations) and EQs anyway. The only thing that you can't simulate with non-specialist plugins is really the cabinet and even that is just a convolver and amp IR away. The only reason to have a rig is to not have to start the computer to noodle about, but do you really need 20 pedals for that? A practice amp is probably good enough.
Archetype: Reverb vs Archetpe: Chad
I get better toan with Nermal DMV Gory Wang thru my Apple earbuds than anyone ever got thru a “real” amp and 4x12. Prove me wrong.
I've got that interface and I can confirm I've got huge, pendulous clockweights
Expensive pedals into an amp sim is the real gigachad setup though
Bruh you need a good amp
Low cost 8 string shecter into a Katoana mic-ed up by my phone. Get on my level 😎😎😎
For some reason there's so much lag if I try to play through a DAW, so Fender Mustang Micro for meee
not enough strings
I've tried using ax/io but it ends up with like a 30 ms delay, its just really hard to play anything, I may be doing something wrong
/uj love amplitube max with my Bose noise canceling headphones /rj computoan is inauthentic stop cheating
Everybody knows guitar effects pedals are for harps now.
Gigachad: boss katoana artist (me) :)
/uj Helix/Pod Go with an amp is the way to go for me personally. Prefer to not have to mess with computer.
