@@ethansmith876 he’s fucking hot too bruh
I love my sims. I can play with good tone at low volumes.
I love a good amp because everything sounds better at full volume. There is just something about that feel.
Also they allow you to have access a ton of gear for a fraction of the cost of the real thing! And with good quality too.
I still wish i could afford a bunch of real 3000$ amps and cabs... Probably won't ever happen though 😞
Yeah, there’s just something about actually FEELING the sound all throughout your body, rattling your soul and all that
what's a sims
@@ammarfaiz7315 the thing the video is about....
@@ammarfaiz7315 an amplifier simulator is the signal response from a physical amplifier simulated in software.
Basically it's a software version of a physical amplifier. It get very close to sounding almost like the amplifier does and has a bunch of customisation and presets that the amp may not have. Amp sim softwares also include simulated pedals and modifiable cabinets for the fraction of the cost of a physical setup.
True chads buy a $25 audio interface to use with a $50 pawn shop guitar and pirated amps and DAWs
True chad here ;)
Do you need a DAW to for using an amp sim?
Probably using a plectrum cut out of an old debit card
@@Ratselmeister to get less latency yes
@@gaetondavis3741 not really, things like guitar rig can be used standalone too. An interface however is strongly advised
You forgot the spending hours trying to work out why the guitar is silent and when it is finally audible why there is so much latency
You figure it out once and you are set. You have to learn a real Amp as well.
Don’t even get me started on actually working out tones and loading IR’s. I hate computers, I’ll just use a DI into reaper and do what has to be done,
Half an hour spent the first time and you're basically done haha.
@@deadinsidemcgee411 wot? U jst load the ir vst and pick the cab you want.
Latency is due to crappy computers
"Real amps are too expensive"
*Has MacBook Pro*
Like those kemper sims comes for cheap
@@stocchinet Rudy only means about software amp sims, kemper, axe fx ect. are another story as they are good as "real" tube amp
But a macbook pro will have the amp sims, pedal sims, daw to record AND mix, use the internet, connect to a myriad of devices, etc etc etc.
The expensive tube amps only have one purpose, and that's it. That's expensive. They also take up space and make lots of noise. Lot of people live in places where they can't make that kind of noise and also, don't have the space. There's always space for a macbook (I would still just prefer a normal pc) and headphones.
It's part of the layered jokes
How much does a Mac book pro cost?
I only use real amps
All jokes aside, it is kind of cool what we can do with a computer these days. Even free plugins provide a great source of amplification for people to play with! But the argument kind of reminds me of the difference between LCD/Plasma and CRT TVs, the way they operate and display images are completely different, and a difference can certainly be noticed.
This is not related to music, but heck yeah to Cascadia!
Haha gay
There's just something so cool about having a proper nice amp nothing beats a 4x12 with a nice head but amp sims are very cool
A Real amplifier is like a Real screen, but a plug in is like a Video of a Real screen
Plasma rules!
I’m 45 and at one time I had 4 tube amps. I sold all but one. Now I have a Strymon Iridium and I can play anytime through headphones. The technology now is truly amazing.

I use amp sims...Cause I can't hire a moving company to transport my amps...🙂
AXE FX is the best!
@@1Know1tHurts i agree...But I recently gave neural dsp archetype plugins a try....It sounds awesome ...
@@shivakrishnan9382 neural dsp is the way to go
True... But i quess if you could hire someone to do that then I'm pretty sure your amp sims would pretty much be history from your rig... And this is the point actually. Convenience drives us to use amp modelers instead of tube amps and not tone quality. We choose convenience over tone and we're not choosing amp sims cause they're similar in tone with tube amps but because we can't afford lugging them around.
@@zampination also most people could not afford to buy even the half of the real gear version of pluggins like Bias FX or Amplitube.
I mean there must be like ten's of thousand's of $ worth of gear in their real version, and you get access to a pretty spot on digital version of them for like 500$... That's pretty crazy when you think about it!
"I don't know what to tell you" Gets you out of everything
This one is extra funny for some reason
it's extra funny because rudy is actually like this, that's why he's so good at "impersonating" amp sim people
maybe the funny part is that he's so unfunny that it's funny
Cause he's being so nice I think.
Don't worry, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
@@SonicEntertainment I think the term you're looking for is "passive aggressive"
"I don't need a real amp" proceeds to play the shittest ham sandwitch tone i've ever heard
That was the joke
You can easily get worse tones than this one with amp sims.
The ironic part is that that wasn't even in the top100 worst sounds I've heard! It was "okay" 💁♂ It would have been funnier if it actually was bad...
To hear a truly shitty sound check out the quite recent vid of Glenn Fricker testing out the new Dave Mustaine V-guitar.
You get what you pay for. Pay for good software, get good tools, get a good sound.
@@neonlights_12 You can also easily get a top class sound with FREE amps sims and the cheapest gear 👌
I’ve never played with an amp simp… but this guy makes a good argument
This is hilarious and painfully accurate, but honestly being able to plug into my computer and play with virtually any sound I want to was great when I could barely afford the instruments I still had.
All jokes aside, but old dude here (43) that played on tons and tons of tube amps, but since the helix, kemper, axe fx, I can definitely say that technology did really improved these hardwares. Myself bought a Helix Floor, and a powercab 212 plus, and I’m thinking about selling my tube amps.
Here is the example I always use.
Tube amps = film photography
Sims = digital photography
Times are changing. I’ve played in live bands for like 15 years. I’ll never go back to a tube amp.
Check out Neural DSP, super high quality amp sims, in my opinion at least.
@@tony-_-_-441 I think you're not going back cause of convenience of not having to lug around your amp and not because of similar tone quality. Like if for example someone else would take care of your amp moving it in and out of venues and all you got to do was play the guitar then what would you choose? Amp sims or a real tube amp? My guess is the latter...
@@tony-_-_-441 tube amp: film photography

@@Simoonesss That doesn't check out when the premise is that he can't afford an amp.
@Philthy Casual I like to have dedicated gear, for sure. Something that does one thing really well, and rarely fails. Who needs a direct box when you've got an amp and an SM57?
@Philthy Casual I've never even cranked mine past 9:00 on the high input. Not that I wouldn't like to, but at least my power tubes should have a longer than average life. lol
@Philthy Casual 50W. I got the itch for a Marshall tube amp, but didn't want to pay for the Marshall name, so I bought a kit and put it together. I paired it with a Marshall 2x12; I call it my quarter stack. lol It's a JCM 800 2204 clone.
damn i use amp sims for many years but i'm always happy to play or record through a real amp. it may not be a huge difference nowadays but *the feel* you get from a real amp is irreplaceable
That is true the feel is what does it. Also I think they haven't really managed to completely get rid of the latency yet, and I think that's mainly what gives virtual amps their cold feeling when you play on them
@@Ricocossa1 I genuinely can't tell a difference between my 16 millisecond latency and my amplifier
@@VicSellsPeace If you can't tell the difference between a class A tube amp and digital emulation you're either playing quietly or suffering from the shite ear syndrome. In some cases the digital emulation might even sound better for what you're trying to achieve but to say they are indistinguishable is laughable. The convenience of a Fractal can't be denied but does it feel and sound like a cranked Ampeg, hell no.
And I have the opposite feeling LMAO
I find a real amp really punches you with the sound, like it has a lot more weight to it
as somebody just learning, amp sims and amps like the spark that can simulate other amps and pedals really make things easier. I can hear the difference, but there's no better way to learn than being able to change whatever you want without spending more money. one of these days I'll get a nice setup going but for now being able to change the tone of the 8 or so chords I know is pretty fun and really insightful for somebody coming to electric guitar from a brass/woodwinds background where all adjustment to tone is done with the body.
That chord progression is so fitting to these type of dudes ohmygod
I always say "I'm poor, and I'm cheap, and there's no way I can afford all the pedals I want, but I can afford software that's the same price as 2 pedals that sounds decent enough."
@SoftserveSodium thanks. It's fixed
Behringer is looking at you, man.
bow down to behringer 🙏 $15-$30 clones of your favorite overpriced pedals
You cant pirate a pedal
All jokes aside, its true. People are just, in general, afraid of change because that means stepping out of your comfort zone. Reminds me of the hard-copy vs digital era in videogames.
Got a tube amp with a 4x12 cab next to my pc setup here, yea it sounds so much bigger than anything my pc speakers/studio headphones could ever produce, that sounds tinny and kinda fizzy in comparison, no matter which amp sim I use (tried many of them). Also the response feels more direct.
Got it all but fender cleans through a nice tube amp are just unrivalled as an experience
Try the new one from Audio Assault, "The Crown" Amazing clean Fenderish tones especially with touch of reverb! It also chugs well!. Z..K.
Same here. High gain: awesome sounds and better for recording than your bedroom often. But cleans.. too squishy, glassy. Just can’t do it
@@skeletonmodel You can get some good cleans through a JC120 sim
@@garrettwilson9664 I will check it out. I have only tried Overloud, Softube sims, and now Neural DSP, but just not feeling it so far. never played on a JC120 irl, but will check the sims out
Fender cleans are the easiest sound to achieve
I dig sims but, there's nothing like feeling tubes and power amps actually move the air in the room. Its addicting.
Don't know what to tell you, bro.
@@LucasKingPianolol you don't have to tell me anything. I'll just keep my full stacks and my Kemper.
@@LucasKingPiano You should know though... Tube amps are pretty cheap these days. You should buy one yourself. There's the monoprice/harley benton ones 15w for 250$/€ and then... You should know...
ok boomer
The amp does not move any air though. I don't think you know what an amp is...
I'm loving these videos man, I think a "things acoustic guitar players say" would be perfect for this format
as someone that has been both addicted to buying solid state/tube amps and getting some really nice vsts/irs; it's guitar to everyone that doesn't play guitar, either you suck at playing or you're good, gain sounds like gain (it's either fuzzy and square, fizzy and dirty, or twangy and bright) the audience really could care less about anything else. practicing and playing give you better dexterity, any person that knows what they are doing will tell you tone is all in the hands.
You realize this only after buying new gear…then eventually go back to buying gear again 😂
@@p10rambo straight facts tho🤣🤣
As someone who now uses only modelers, this is pretty funny. Amps are great though, especially if you want to play something that slowly breaks over time.
Like a computer?
Yeah amp sims are the best, my SuperLead Marshall 100w is only making me fell that i want play it over and over non stop.40 years old ,never breaks.

Wtf
This, but unironically. A few years ago, I traded all of my tube amps for a sim. Been working as a session musician for years, and have never had any complaints. If I had a big studio and the money for a ton of different tube heads, I’d definitely go that route. But as a working musician, the versatility and workflow is hard to match for what I’m doing right now. Being able to switch between a convincing plexi, deluxe reverb, and tweed in two seconds flat has been a godsend for the line of work that I’m in.
Performance is king, and if you know how to dial in your unit correctly, you’re golden.
@@bennycole1257 i was using only digital for a few months and realised what i was missing after playing my analog rig again…it sounds more real and its not even a placebo at this point
@@p10rambo No doubt! I think a lot of that is a feel thing too, which can’t be beaten. Like I said, in a perfect world I would have a big studio with tons of tube amps that I could crank up all the way… But until that day, I’m more than happy with my digital set up in my workflow has never been better.
I use standalone guitar effects processor with amp sims all the time, sold my amp about three years ago but I would actually love to buy a vintage style kind of amp right now, but I want a proper one and they are so expensive lol
For metal it doesn't make that big of a difference, but the less distortion, the better it is with real amp, at least imo,
Drop Z, high gain, high compression and scooped mids could be accomplished by any amp and it'll sound identical in a mix.
For less distortion, try 'PRS Dallas' from waves, it's amazing!
until you try a Mesa Boogie
Spent all my money on a Mac and sims. Never intend to gig. So…. I’m good with my unlimited possibilities. Now drums, I’ll gig and wouldn’t give up acoustic EVER for live
I just love my Boss Katana MK2. It means I can play with all kinds of effects and different tones, without spending huge money (I'm 17 so I don't have money for pedals and things like that), and it still sounds great, and has the volume and projection of an actual amp, despite being a simulated amp.
I also have a boss katana, which is use almost never now that I use Neutral DSP. Cheap and so much for so little cost. Still love my katana tho
@@Johnboviineural ds p cheap?
If you play as a hobby and don’t bring your guitar anywhere, like me, I’d definitely recommend just getting a couple neuraldsp plugins. Amps are big and expensive, and you really don’t need it while playing by yourself for fun. The plug-ins pretty much let you do more for less instead of having to buy a ton of pedals and stuff.
there are decent tube amps for like $500 that sound great and can also play loud enough for a band
@@holymountain8596 that’s cool but that’s probably even more than my whole system excluding the computer. It all sounds good to me and I can do a lot with the two plug ins I have so I’ll stick with that.
amp sim user, headless guitar player, put em in a sack and SLAP ON IT!
A box will electricity in it? That's what Bob Dylan said.
Don’t get me started on the shoes
This is crazy, but after enough time with whatever sick tones I have at my fingertips on the PC, I almost NEED to plug into a real amp to have any desire to play. There's just something a bit more visceral about plugging into a real amp - it puts me in a very different mindset. A traditional amp can't do as much... just kinda sounds how it sounds, maybe has a handful of varieties with knobs for fine-tuning. But sometimes I think having all of the options an amp sim suite provides actually just burns me out. Sometimes it is good to just have some totally unfocused guitar time. Plug in, turn your brain off, the tone is good enough - turn it up more so it shakes the floor a bit. Kick back and just play.
I kind of get the impression this mindset is not as prevalent in guitarists coming up now. Personally, I think the best thing about guitar is the slop. Not everything to do with the instrument is about control.
Playing on a real amp probably won't do anything for you in terms of tone or skill. It's not going to open any new sonic doors or anything like that. But creative doors? Yeah, sometimes the best stuff just comes out at 3 am when you roll out of bed and pop the switches on your amp just to noodle like nothing matters. No dialing in or refining, just expression. This instrument is all about expression. Sometimes it is good to ask yourself what that means for you as a musician, what sorts of things bring out the most expression for you. How complicated should it be? Sometimes a small detail means everything, other times those details are distracting you and you don't even realize that IS the wall. What are your experiences like with the instrument? It's easy to lose sight of that when you're working and refining with all of these tools. And the way to break out of that, for me, is to spend time playing solely for the sake of doing it, of just expressing myself with sounds, through a traditional amp. Plugging into a real amp is like a ritual gesture towards expression-driven playing. I think everybody needs something that facilitates that. Get a wah pedal or something, IDK. Doesn't matter if the wah is 'viable' for your music if you feel something different when you use it.
Don't underestimate your own psychology. I lean pretty skeptical, totally non-religious, heavily critical of things most people don't even bother with. But suggestibility is a MAJOR factor in creative output. It's not always about what you logically think. No matter what, all finished art starts as feelings generated by experiences... including the ones you have when actually playing. So sometimes, you do things that you know for sure don't make logical sense, because you understand that it still feeds another process in your mind, that relates back to the choices you make while playing.
Little stuff like that... it's seeds in the garden for your music, you know? There's growth as a musician and growth as an artist. Often the two support each other, but they tend to occur in different realms. I really would encourage people who think physical amps are irrelevant to get a decent practice amp and fool around on it. Not to prove them 'wrong' in the sense that it's a better tool... modeling software is vastly superior as a tool for making music... it's more about opening yourself up to experiences that may feed your creativity... keep you from getting niched out over in computer land, add another mode of thinking to your repertoire.
damn bro nice essay bro
Just play your acoustic if you dont want to to fiddle like a normal human being
I appreciate your answer. Thank you
I love what you said about the creative doors that open when you pop the switches on your amp and just noodle like nothing matters with no dialing in or refining, just expression-driven playing... This is what gives art it's soul, and it's why we don't just hear music but we can feel it and it effects our emotions.
When we are overly concerned with all the little details, having the perfect sound and then also same with the playing combined with being overly concerned in production when editing tracks timing accurate down to the nanosecond and making sure everything is perfect it becomes over-produced and has no feel - it may still sound good but you won't feel it... With some music this is what you want to do as not all music needs to carry emotion but the more it does the more it resonates with people...
There's a video I watched a while back comparing John Bonham live drums to a drum machine... I don't exactly what they do but they take the live drum track into editing software so timing is spot on but they use digital drum machine sounds or whatever it does sounds good, but then listen to the two back to back and there is a no question that Bonhams live drum track just sounds and feels right...
Something I often think about is that your average listener isn't going to be able to tell if you're playing out of a $3000 rig or something like BiasFx2, so why even bother spending that much unless you have cash to burn. Shit, most people aren't even going to listen to the your (the average musician who isn't dumping cash into promotion) anyways. Amp sims get you plenty close to the "real" thing.
Amp simulators sounds like a recorded guitar, which is ok, but will never compete with the kick of a real amp.. not even close
including the price, i mean if you are rich enough and can afford good real amps do it, otherwise its better to stick to computers and not spending money on a crappy cheap amp which will sound like trash
As someone that never had an amp after 10 years of playing, this hurts. I started out poor, but I kind of got used to Guitar Rig...

@@Hello_there_obi why
@@Hello_there_obi i don't even need effects
@@unacuentadeyoutube13 nothing replaces an amp. When you bring the volume up even a little, it shifts the air in a different way and inspires you to play more. The guitar communicates with the amp and the feedback you get is real. Nothing beats that. And if you put them side by side, a good amp will always sound and feel better.
@@Hello_there_obi true, and I'd definitely recommend go to in-store to try some tube amps out
A real man is strong enough to carry an amp on-stage..
I’ve used many tube Amps back in the day, but Amp Sims are awesome and getting better and better 🙂
I bet recording that track with laughter for the final scene was fun. You alone in your room overdubbing laughter
“Yeah you know man…the shoes…” Rudy, baby I SEE you with this 😩
I mean, honestly, I don't even use amp sims.
My favorite guitar sound is just the D.I signal through a compressor in the computer.
That's how you get that "warm" and "full" guitar sound.
I just use a $3000 condenser mic to record the sound of the pick hitting the strings directly, no need to plug it in
Yeah, no, I'm good with carrying my entire rig under my arm. Y'all can have your "tube feels" or whatever.
Tbh the more I’ve gotten into guitar the further I’ve gone from amps with a sound, at this point I just use Keyboard amps because of how insanely transparent they are
really now, interesting
@@alistairdimmick2886 yeah it’s hard to explain, they add virtually 0 color or saturation to your tone so you are hearing the way the guitar actually sounds if that makes any sense? It’s not for everybody but I like it a lot for how clean it is. Also keyboard amps are neat because they have a really open sound since they’re made for a very wide frequency range
I'm guessing they are solid state, the key amps that you use?
@@alistairdimmick2886 yes I’ve been playing solid state since I started as a bass player, since solid state bass amps are affordable and weigh less then 50 pounds lol. And it just sort of became part of my guitar style as well, I also initially used a portable PA speaker but I found that it had a tendency to add a nasty high end if I added any drive, the keyboard amp was a nice middle ground between the sound of a real amp and the clarity of a PA
@@Viper-dz2kw do they work as pedal platforms too? I'm really curious to know how they behave if you put a drive/distortion/fuzz in front of them.
It's like people thinking they are smart having a smartphone, basically removing a real azerty keyboard for that tactile "vibe".
I have owned all kinds of amps. Roland Cubes, Line6 Spider, Shait practice amps, line6 helix rack, Marshall dsl15 head, jcm800 2205, jcm900 mkiii and so on.
Right now i only use Bias FX2, not because i want to but because i can't have a huge stack in my house.
I do enjoy bias, good tones if you have some IRs and good monitors.
The one thing software and such can never ever replace tho is the feel of moving air that you get from a 2x12 or 4x12 cab and a tube head! Or the more dynamic sound. I find that every modeler ive tried so far sound abit "sterile" and/or "flat"
Thats not to say they sound bad cause they don't, but there's just some things digital cant do that analoge does
I work in the software industry and don't want a computer anywhere near my guitar habit. Tubes for life.
It's sad that amp tubes will be too precious and rare in the near future :(
@@gandalf8216 What is this the Foundation by Isaac Asimov? You'll have tubes as long as you're alive.
@@LucasJRice They will grow exponentially more expensive until no one cares to make more because no one can afford them anyway.
0:34 is literally almost the same as a riff I wrote with a Strandberg and Neural DSP I didn’t think I’d get roasted so hard today
everybody writes that riff at some point
I've semi-compromised. I use pedals into a Quilter mini-amp that goes to a 1x12 cab and also has an output to mixer/FRFR speaker. It gets the air moving onstage from the cab, and projects to the venue via the PA. It works very well for me.
I once tech'd for a band where one guitarist used pedals into a Fender tube amp and the other used sims for everything, no cab onstage at all for the guitar. It was, as one poster noted, rough. Well, half rough.... The pedals thru the tube amp sounded great!
SPEAKERS is where the PAPER meets the air. I half full stack , half stacks, single
and mini 15 watt practice amps...and wazzoo of whatever amp sims.
I have single FX..That I had to chain myself and various process pedal boards..ect
If you play in a band....You'll simply get CLIP by the BASS or even the cymbals
from the drums..becuase if sound waves are too THIN.
If you had ever attend concerts at PARKS..ect..You'll notice there LESS SATURATIONS the further you are away from Guitar speakers.
You need POWER to PUSH THICKER sound waves.
I cant even hear myself play..if I use less than 35 watts going thru proper
guitar amp SPEAKERS during band practice. My drummer likes to beat
the living shiet out of the drums...it's actaully too damn loud in our
practice room.
I also play the drums...If it's not loud or thick ...or no monitors behind
the drum set....I CANT hear Jackshiet from the band.
Anyways..amp sims to me are like GT10 or processing boards.
It'll be the same if I use a PC to send single to the amp head to amplify
the signals..just make sure it gets sent out to proper SPEAKERS.
Amp sims LESS FOOT pedals SUCK ARSS
If you dig deep enough into both worlds you'd learn that amp sims and real amps don't really replace each other. They complete a guitarist's arsenal and prowess. One day digital simulation might catch up but it's really not quite there yet.
I don't know, man... I mean, actual technology as we know it can easily replace cabs with old technologies, but then again that's just my opinion, man...
@@onerandombruh Seems like analog preamp with great impulse is the best of both worlds for ease and tone. Still use my cabs though.
@@onerandombruh i dont see analog ever being replaced for live shows but yea a lot of newer gen guitarists go full digital sim for recording now
I personally love the sound of miced cab's in rooms with their own particular sounds and being able to physically tweak the mic setup with different capsul types, angling of the capsules, or even trying crazy things like putting two cabs up against eachother and getting them to sympathetically resonate. Sometimes you *want* it to sound like it's coming from a cranked amp inside a room!
Eh, if I can get 90% of the way there with a single $150 Neural DSP package rather than paying for 3 heads, 3 cabs, 10 mics, a gate, boost, overdrive, octiviser, chorus, reverb, echo, wah, and 11-band EQ, AND be able to get the proper sound out if it without being evicted from my apartment, that's good for me. I have a measly 10w practice amp that I've never even heard the proper tone from because if I turn it that loud I would have gotten in trouble with parents, their neighbors, or now my neighbors.
Nothing like stomping a pedal on stage and feeling the change in the air waves around you
Nice, another solid entry to your videos. This one almost made me laugh.
OMG, that combo of the passive-agressive laughs with the headless guitar ^^
Damn, you got me there. I will probably never be in a situation where a tube amp will be worth my time and money XD
I invested in a Helix and it solves all my problems (ok not my back problems, but hear me out...)
You nailed the room mic generic plug in tone
Axe Fx is my favourite tube amplifier!
axe fx is the best unit of guitar gear has ever made period
I dig playing tube amps but sending the signal out of the effects loop into the computer so I can use whatever Irs I like, the technology of amps and computers are equally amazing!
I'm 51 and used valve/tube amps most of my playing life. I've had most amps from Fender combos to a JCM800 half stack. When amp modelling became convincing I got a Helix and my back thanks me for it. If I was rich and could have a roadie then I'd probably still use a real amp, but until I win the lottery I'll carry on and use the Helix.
Come on man they're really not that heavy though
@@jameseberhard7457 The 4x12 cab is though, plus I carry the PA to gigs and rehearsals too.
Cool, now do things guitarist who only use real amps say
*cupping ear* WHAAAAAAAT??
Amp sims don't have that... soul in them
You can read the comments on this thread to get a lot of material for that vid.
Another one could be "recording with amp sims is not professional, real amps are the best, you're amateur"
Amp sims, bro? I just connect my guitar to the Internet of Things an an API calculates the gain and treble I need and sends back the audio.
I plug my guitar into my new OpenAI amp and it figures out what I should be playing
Why are there so many words associated with amps when you only need two?
Boss Katana
I have both a Boss Katana mk 2 50 watt and the Plini amp sim. Both sound amazing.
@@starrk7158 recently got the 4 channel footswitch from katana, GA-FC? Can really unleash the full potential of my MK2
Anything by orange is amazing
@@AdaSoom got a little orange crush to play with... it wasn't playing with me.
Well that's basically a sim. Like when you play metal you're quite fine with a sim or the boss katana but when you need a great breakup tone to play any other thing than just chug chug chug chug a tube amp is necessary.
*Laughs in Neural DSP*
TBH no, you don’t need an amp. Especially if you have enough money to get something on the level of a kemper, even touring is perfect acceptable. But, there is a sound that certain bands have/want that you would need an amp for.
"it sounds so authentic"
authentically like what, a nice tube amp?
Can u please make same kind of video about boomers hating on vsts? :D
The headless guitar said everything… haha!!
After years of playing digital, I went into a guitar store and fired up a real tube amp and was...pretty underwhelmed honestly.
Did you get to crank it? If it's not moving the air around you, you gotta turn it up.
Plus, not all amps are made the same. What was it?
Well, real amps required knowledge to operate them too
@@tungoz7687 that's a large part of it as well. He may have just cranked the gain to 10 and had the volume and 2 and couldn't figure out why it sounded like shit lol
What did you play?
"its like, uh, the staging of the gain, like idunnowhattotellyou"
this shouldnt have got me, but it did
These guys haven’t been at it long enough if they’re depending on a bunch of computer blips to get their sound, nothing replaces a good tube amp in Capable hands
I agree, the feeling isn’t there when I hear people jamming out with sims. With a tube amp I can feel the soul of the person reaching out, but not with sims for whatever reason, even if their playing is immaculate. But it’s probably me being completely biased
@@troublemaker1145 you're just listening with your eyes, man
@@troublemaker1145 yeah that's 100 percent you just projecting your boomer perspective and hating on new technology my step dad says the same shit lol
amp sims are great if you are really focused on tone and want very specific sounds but if youre playing in a band then the audience wont notice as long as your similar to original song
This is the best video you’ve made since a long time. (I’m not joking this time, your quality is finally improving like the good old days, keep it up).
Lugging a tube head, 4x12 cabinet, guitar, and bag of pedals & cables into your home at 2am, inebriated, smelling like somebody else, knowing you work at 8am, will make a leathery beast out of you. God bless us.
"Real amps are such a waste of money"
Instead buys an $8,000 computer setup
To be fair at least the computer can do more than be an amp
The fanned headless guitar adds to the impression lol
I use amp sim because I am normal.
THE STAGING OF THE... YOU KNOW, THE THING
I once played a show w a band who had 2 guitarists and a bassist, none of them used amps, they all plugged into a pa system they brought. it was rough to say the least
I’m no boomer but I love my 1/2 watt valve amp. Straight in. Ok, sims are amazing these days but even my baby amp makes my chest vibrate in a way that doesn’t happen with a sim. And I’m no Luddite, I played through sims alone for about 12 years and I certainly raise an eyebrow at anyone who doesn’t play amphitheatres who ‘must’ have a 100 watt Marshall - before good PAs and feeeback control there was more of a need. Saying that, when I used to record back in the day the vibe of two or three double stacks in the orchestra room of studio B at EMI 301 really made an emotional connection for some styles. But for most things it was just a bit of a jerkoff.
Ironically, this is the best guitar tone you ever had.

What really sold it was the drop tuned minor/major inversions riff. Quintessential amp sim music theory
Steve Vai himself said the modelers sound as good as a real amp, what needs to be worked on is the latency.
Finally an honest insight on simulators rather than just bitch like an elitist.
I wear headphones and play through an amp sim with a 32 bit buffer at 48kHz (total latency of around 5.5ms). If I was playing through an amp 2 metres away it would have more latency than that (5.8ms just from the sound waves having to travel to me). The difference in latency between them is negligible.
I physically recoiled "the entrepreneur life" wtf 🤣
Man, I CAN'T use an amp home, my neighbours pushed a motion forward against me. I'm left with sims. Don't target me 😢
Mind did the same thing, and I stopped renting apartments after that.
im pretty sure you can still use a real amp with a load box and an impulse response.
Buy an OxBox, you will never look back
I enjoy how specific and pointed this one is.
emm... what's a real amp, bro?
I think it's when you use your amp sims on a desktop computer
@@chrisj1319 yeah thought so. 👍
there's definitely a difference in tOnE if you run amp sims on real PC than a toy macbook.
It's when you have a Macbook pro inside a speaker
that volume response is like so crazy hahahhaa lmao
This is almost perfect, you just needed to add a *little* bit of noticeable latency when you played through the amp sim, and then pretend there's no latency 😁.
For real though, tube amps are for tube-amp enthusiasts. The rest of us can work with modelers and sims just fine.
my amp sim has 5.5ms of total latency, not exactly noticable
This feels like a personal attack against me.
I don't even remember how many times I've used the term "With the correct Impulse response, you can totally mimic that sound." While arguing with friends.
I want a coupon for your "Learn the fretboard in 30mins" thing.
Its $29 lol
Tbh I like hauling amps on stages. They make the show look cooler
I'm 100% unironically with you on this one. I don't know what a 65 twin reverb is, my dad wasn't even alive in 64 gtfo with that bs🙂
The staging of the gain cmon
