Interesting to hear the differences of the designers' interpretations of some of the same amps. I'm old but spent decades playing and touring. I recently decided to record some material, and digital recording is new to me. I don't want to add hundreds of plugins, so I'm researching. I'd guess playing different guitars through the same sim sound different like if one was playing actual guitars through different amps, but I don't know where the digital tech world takes over for the actual physical tone of an instrument. A mahogany 50s Les Paul with humbuckers or P90s sure sounded different through the same Marshall 50 or Fender Twin than a Strat or Tele (much less each other) when I played. Thanks for doing the video. I have my favorites, but that's just opinion. The AmpLion popped Vox when it hit that sim, and different sims obviously weren't listed.
Thank you for sharing this. That’s great to know. I know a few people that have been using redcurrant as their main amp now for heavier styles of music. I think if they gave you more options for the skin, it would catch on even more. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Keep creating! .👊👍
There's some good stuff here, but for me, to truly class something as "freeware", it has to be a completely free product, and not a stripped down version. A lot of these are more like "demo versions" to me.
Tonlib GFX is really a great thing. It has cabs, amps, pedals and low cpu requirements. I finally bought it after 1 year of usage in special @arround $25. Worth it but try it fully before spending money
Great video. I’d also add the rest of LePou amps to the list as they all sound great. My favorite, is the LE456 which is an Engl Powerball emulation, and it sounds absolutely killer for high gain rhythm guitar
Thanks for sharing these. I have a lot of them already and Ignite Emissary is the best sounding one to me - I can't believe that it's free! I'm definitely going to try the rest. For anyone who has the money and is looking for an "all-in-one" amp, pedal, cabinet sim, the Overloud TH-U is incredible. Tons of great sounding sims that are well worth the money, especially if you can get it on sale!
Surprised that you didn't cover any of the Softamp sims, cool stuff for us less than High Gain guys. Love the Cypress and the Ace, slap DevilSpring on there and you're good to go especially with the old lap steel, which I am still learning. Which reminds me, I really should practice. lol
Thanks for the videos. I've been watching a lot of your videos. I' given them a thumbs up and subscribed. I have a small problem. Maybe you know what is going on. I installed the Amplitube 5 from this video. The standalone comes up, but I really want to use it in cakewalk. The plugins are not showing up in cakewalk. I did a scan in cakewalk and it seems to see it. I installed both the VST and VST3. There was no VST2 option. Could you tell me how you have it configured in Cakewalk?
Thanks for the video Zane, more free stuff to check out! I downloaded Boogex when you mentioned it in another video (pretty sure it was one of yours), but it keeps crashing and knocking out all of the plugins because "sandboxing failed". Have you had this problem with it? It's definitely when I run that particular plugin, I've experimented and it's the culprit. On Waveform 11.
I haven’t had that problem with Boogex and I’ve been using it since Windows XP days. But all computers are different so maybe it has some sort of conflict on yours.
@@AudioTechTV Yeah, I just thought I'd ask in case there was a setting I need to change or something. The laptop is a bit limited regarding CPU, and the plugins all crash if I have too many, but Boogex crashes every time, even when it's the only plugin on the only track in a project. I'll try to get rid of all of the associated files and folders and reinstall it one last time before giving up on it, but I thought I'd ask, thanks.
@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn I had sandboxing woe when Waveform updated in about February; nearly all the plugins crashed. In the plugin section of the main menu try turning it off/clicking box to turn off enabling sandbox...problem solved (for me, anyway.)
@@joolz666 I downloaded it in March, so it's probably the same version. It's easy enough to reset, but I didn't know that you could turn off sandboxing, I'll check it out. When they all crash, it's because I have plugins running on 5 vox tracks, 3 bass tracks, and something like 6 guitar tracks, I just have to watch how many I use at a time. Mostly it's the amp sims adding up, so I just have to make a decision and re-record the guitar tracks with the amp sim, noise gate, Nova (for H/L filters and a little bit of compression), and any other basic plugins I want, then replace the raw track with that. That works, and it's not that different to analogue recording, which I used to do 25/30 years ago, but atm, Boogex is just unusable. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. :)
@@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn Instructions if you need them: Sandboxing can be disabled from Settings>Plugins. There's a checkbox 'Enable plugin sandboxing' pretty much the second-last line of options, right at the bottom of the screen.
HELLO, would you know of a software I can use for my guitar as a SYNTHESIZER, a software i can plug the guitar in the PC and play a synth? Thanks in advance buddy. Keep up the good work
You can try this free software dodobirdmusic.com/dodo-midi/ or search for any program that will turn audio to midi. There are several out there but this one is probably the best free option.
The exact review I needed!! Is it common to have frequent "static" sounds while using Amplitube? I just installed it yesterday and my daw is Logic Pro. First I thought it was an issue with locked amps, cabinets and pedals that had already been selected but after only selecting the unlocked options I am still getting a static sound every 15-20 seconds :/
You have to check that the amp head, cabinet and maybe even the mics used in the cabinet are unlocked. Also make sure any of the effects pedals and rack effects that might be in your setup are unlocked. I’ve run into that issue and it’s usually the cabinet. Sometimes you’ll select an amp head and it will automatically load with a paired cabinet but it may not be one that you have unlocked.
If you watch the video all of them in this video are free not demos. Some are limited compared to the full versions in the sense that they don’t have all of the amps that the full version has which is understandable. But they don’t cause weird noises or dropouts. There’s no time limitations or anything. If you need a specific amp that’s only available in one of the higher up versions then buy it.
Amplitude free does not give you 30 amp siims, well it does, but all are locked except for 3. You have to pay to use all the rest. Not sure it’s worth it.
I guess it’s a good thing that I say “you get 5 amps and 6 cabinets” in the video. I’m my opinion it’s one of the better sounding free guitar amp plugins. But there are many options out there so if it’s not worth it for you try another one.
It depends on the tone you’re after. Better for one person’s style may not be better for someone else’s. Amplitube CS gives you lots of variety for different styles. Maybe start with that.
Check out the Blue Cat Audio amp too, that's very versatile, and has a nice clean channel, but also has some pretty nasty settings too, either old school drive or modern metal type sounds. I've used the "Jazzy" preset on bass and that's pretty smooth and rich.
You should get an audio interface with an instrument input (pretty much all of them have that). If you’re just recording a guitar then you can find some very inexpensive ones that allow you to just connect instruments. Or you could get one that has mic preamps and instrument inputs. There are lots of options out there that range in price.

I own neural dsp Gojira. That redcurant amp is literally a free neural dsp gojira. It's awesome

I checked out the SoftAmp sims and you are right. There is a nice selction of amps and FX. Thanks for the heads up!
@@mistermusic140 glad I could help
the djentgod one is really my favourite, i cant say anything against it, just sounds right
Hell yes, just found this little monster of a video.. Thanks for making me play more

How come that I only have one amp, one cab, one overdrive pedal etc... Just one choice of each section?
Thank you.

Just to let you know tone deluxe has possible virus threats to PC. When trying to download my virus warning popped up
Anyone with suggestions for pop rock (think the 1975, the band Camino etc). Been experimenting and haven’t found a reliable one yet.

dont like any of this but thanks
Who else picks amp sims based on the ui ?
Stevie T is the most awesome person in the world ;) and he`s an incredibly talented guitar player. He`s no guifakist lol ;)
But do you think he could play the cars for kids song?
@@AudioTechTV I don`t know what song that is - but trust me he can play it ;)
@Cujo-fu5bm it’s a funny song from a very bad commercial that he’s poked fun at a few times.
@@AudioTechTV hehehe could be that I watched the vid.
The Cornflower font is the worst I have EVER seen.
It’s a shame because it’s a decent amp sim but they wrapped it in a silly gui. Maybe they will release it with a different gui in the future.
