    I've tried it, and honestly despite having tried countless amp sim, it's become one of my favourite ! I didn't have high expectations, but it's really responsive, simple to use (no endless menus etc) and versatile too. A really good suprise

  • @nj1255
    @nj1255 8 месяцев назад +3

    I think it sounded pretty good. I didn't love the cabs/IRs, but the amp sim itself is pretty versatile and sounds convincing. Not to high CPU usage either. Kudos to Blackstar for pulling this off!

  • @douggroulx1525

    Wow! I have a Blackstar head&cab and in my opinion the plugin actually sounds better and I listened in a studio environment.

    Hi Mendel, I think first of all was Peavey with the „ReValver“ wich is currently available in Version 4.
    You can change the Tubes and modify lots of things there virtually.

    Hello, Mendel, great content, nice walkthrough of the plugin. I might be erroneous, about who's the maker, but technically Ampeg had a plugin of their products for a while now, bass amp suites, yet, it's amps too, right!?😅

    It seems that everybody want his part of the cake 😃. Amp sims are poping like mushrooms in the forest. That's kinda good thing cuz it will lead one day or another to lower the price. Cuz man, who will buy blackstar ampsim for 100bucks nowadayz? There are so much cheaper solutions, I mean SO MUCH. The amp sims hype is sinking. We need more actors like audio assault with their amplocker. W8 all we need is NAM after all 😆

    • @svelle37
      @svelle37 8 месяцев назад +1

      yeah I got myself an amphub subscription for 50$ for a year and also bought their 5153 sim and I honestly couldn't really ask for more. They constantly release new models, I don't have to buy them to try them out and if I do figure out that I want to have them forever I can get them fairly cheap.

    I think this plugin is better than amp itself.Sounds different but forces you to use only IR you don't want at the moment.And price is high.They will loose on it.

      $100 for 2 channels\amps. few cabs and a bunch of FXs is not a bad price imo. but a tuner in a standalone would be nice haha

  • @Scott_Mire

    Nope.....Peavey made ReValver which has the 6505, 6505+, JSX/XXII, 3120/XXX, Classic 30, Valveking I & II, Sensation, Masterpiece, and all of the Budda amps. They released the first Peavey version in 2007.

    • @Mendelian
      @Mendelian  8 месяцев назад +1

      I believe Revalver already existed before Peavey bought it if I’m correct 🤔

    • @Scott_Mire
      @Scott_Mire 8 месяцев назад

      It did....but Peavey did add all of their own amps when they bought ReValver...and I do think they were the first amp manufacturer to actually have their own amp modeling software.

    Not bad but the ampsim market is incredibly saturated at the moment. This doesn't offer anything that Neural, Mixwave or even Helix Native doesn't do. I'll pass.
