Thanks for taking time to make this. I’ve used Amplitube in the past. I didn’t care for it and used 11 rack. But that’s getting old. I like what I hear. The Soldano and Peavey really hit home. They’re all nice sounding, I think I’m gonna purchase Amplitube 5 max soon. Thanks again!!
It's really difficult to get mic'd guitar sounds for metal that are this tight. Tube amps don't track this fast they have a lot of sag and it tends to get in the way especially for parts like the quick flurries in this recording. It's a good way to illustrate the usefulness of this particular recording method for doing fast tight metal guitars.
boogie MK4, i have the real one too, in reality most high gain amps sound very close to each other the difference is usually down to speakers and mics, not to mention the room..
Thank you! Well Dimebag's noise gate is my favorite one, I recommend. (Btw if you are using Laptop, unplug the adapter while recording, it works for me)
What about the Vhandcraft 4 amp? I personally really like the sound I get out of that with either the Metal Distortion 2 or Prodrive pedals in the effects loop.
As an AT5 user, these are probably quad tracked or something, definitely doesnt sound like this with a single guitar and not in a mix. AT is still fantastic though and can get killer tones, but a little more transparency from the uploader would be worthwhile.
@@Hithisishiroshi Ok so not quad tracked, you get great sounds i'd like to hear them out of the mix. I have trouble getting mine to sound this good for sure with the amps you are using.
Did you put your setting on Tone Net? So people can try it themselves...I new to thjat so i am tryin to see if thats the trading set ups with others ..
Thank you so much! Well the settings for each amp is the same as in the video, for the pedal section i only used a tube screamer pedal , tone on max, drive off, level centered.
@@Hithisishiroshi Thanks so much for the details! Simple enough eh? I do basically the same, with a light touch of reverb in the rack near the end of the chain. Easy peasy! I've been using Amplitube iOS for writing demos for a few years now, but I recently bought the proper Mac versions with this amazing 25th Anniversary "Buy In" Sale (Buy one title get 20+ FREE 😃) - so this video is quite helpful. I'm most surprised at the Mark IV here. What a fantastic tone! I'm a long time Dual Rec guy, so I'm going to take a closer look at the Mark IV now for sure after hearing your demo. I generally pan a Dual Rec on one side vs the Orange Thunderverb... Those two together make one helluva tone that sits well in my mixes. The Thunderverb takes a lil tweaking, but with proper mic choice & placement it clarifies into a thick, meaty, rhythm chug without getting too "muddy". It's a BEAST - especially when paired with something a little crisper like the Dual Rectifier. So I'm curious to see how a Mark IV/Thunderverb combo sounds. Or maybe even Dual Rec vs Mark IV - you just can't have too much Mesa Boogie imho lol! 🤘 (for reference I play an Ibanez RG w/ Seymour Duncan "Distortion" in the bridge & a "Jazz" pup in the neck) One more thing, if you don't mind, are you using any particular mics here, or just the default mic & placement settings? Thanks again in advance mate!
@@heatnationwpb I'm so glad that this video was useful for you! Thanks for the comment, well I agree to all of your thoughts. And for this video i used the default mics for each amp. I have tried many plugins and amp sims and I believe AT5 is one of the coolest one yet! I used it for recording lead guitars on my new album. And ofc You can get a better guitar tone than what you're hearing in this video because i didn't use monitoring speakers to mix and make the tones. I think i gotta upload a new video about creating a high gain guitat tone for metal, featuring more info that this one haha! Thanks again for the support!
@@Hithisishiroshi you bet! And thanks for the thoughtful responses! Btw I'd love to see a video on creating high gain tones. I'm here for all of it man 🤘
Thanks! It's : TMKD drum sample pack for kicks and snares And EZdrummer for the crash, hi hat, cymbal etc. I'll upload some mixing tips a bit later so everyone can see what i exactly do.
So in this vst? I know all of these amps are base on real amps right but I am a huge fan of a blackstar amp but I can't figure what amp in amplitube is base on blackstar ampa.
Nice Video! Do you have any idea if the AT5 Mesa models sound any better than the ones in AT4? Im thinking of upgrading but not too sure if theres any big tonal difference
Thank you so much! i think AT5 has a bit more realistic sound than the previous version, this is my opinion but If you are interested to see the differences between the mesa amps in AT4 & AT5, I can send you an audio playing Mesa amps with the exact same setting in each version of this plugin (4 and 5) via email. It'd be so easy and better for you to hear the differences and decide! Here's my email address: Hiroshi.hiroshiltd@gmail.com
I found out that if you bought the amps in four you can download five and use the same stuff you bought, just not the new features. So download the CS version and give it a try and if you hate it you can always go back to 4
Send me an e-mail and tell me which one do you want, and I'll send you them via email! Thank you for the comment! My e-mail address: Hiroshi.hiroshiltd@gmail.com
Thank you! Honestly, my favorite amps for lead guitar tone are "Valve preamp" and "Brit Silver". I use an IR (Impulse response) as the cabinet and it sounds great.
hearing a tone back to back, it is only possible to like the previous one or two better. you cannot predict whether you will like the next tone better. if you jump backwards and forwards, it makes it even harder to like a tone. in the end, none of them sound perfect, hence why they always make a 'home brand' amp model. This goes to show digital technology is not yet mature.
I have no clue why, but I always find British amps to be lacking a certain fullness when played alone. Blended with something else, they really begin to shine.
Because the guitar lives in the mid range. You want your guitar to be mid heavy to cut through the mix. British Amos are mid heavy so they cut through. Lots of metal guitarist don't get it. They mix their guitars with too much low end and a mid scoop and the entire mix sounds muddy. Why? You also don't need a lot of gain in the mix especially when you layer multiple guitar tracks for a fatter sound. The more gain the more muddy it'll sound.
@@chrisking6695 I 100% agree with you. I'm not a mid scoop, crank the bass person, I run my mids at around 7 or 8 and bass on around 4, but it's just when I play through a JCM 800, it just lacks balls and power on its own compared to my Triple Rectifier. It's really good for more punky stuff, I will say.
this video proves clearly to me that Amplitube can definitely provide mix-worthy tones, thanks so much
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed my video! 🙏🙌
Sounds ultra flat to me. Sounds clean and reproduces the timber of the amps but lacks of dynamics
Thanks for taking time to make this. I’ve used Amplitube in the past. I didn’t care for it and used 11 rack. But that’s getting old. I like what I hear. The Soldano and Peavey really hit home. They’re all nice sounding, I think I’m gonna purchase Amplitube 5 max soon. Thanks again!!
good luck 🎸
Personally love the ENG and Mark IV! Clean and tight sounding!
agree! Those are really cool amps!
I love the ENGL, but that MH was friggin amazing!
That mesa mark 5 thoooo! Nice video man, keep it up!!!
I appreciate it man 🙌🙏

@@Hithisishiroshi Could you share your Mesa presets?
@@pooryakazemipour9895 of course man! Check out your E-mail please 🙌
Loved the video man!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cross between the Engl and 150W...my top 2 to play and record...
Yeah, Those are great amps!
Thank you for the comment!
I really need to get this plugin!
This is amazing!
Yes you do haha 😅
Thank you so much
@@Hithisishiroshi same here
My favs were the Engl, Mesa dual rectifier, Soldano, and maybe the Orange.
Awesome video! Unfortunately, for me, even the noise gate can’t eliminate the hiss :( Do you know of any other pedal I could use with it?
Thank you!
Well Dimebag's noise gate is my favorite one, I recommend. (Btw if you are using Laptop, unplug the adapter while recording, it works for me)
What about the Vhandcraft 4 amp? I personally really like the sound I get out of that with either the Metal Distortion 2 or Prodrive pedals in the effects loop.
The best sounding high-gain amp to me in AT5 is the VHandcraft 4, which was not included in your video.
Those are amaizng amps too, but not my personal favorite haha, thanks for your comment!
buenos tonos,,,muy buen video...
que caja usaste ? 4 *12?
I used the stock cabinet for each amp
how do you get so clean? im crying
Nice sounds. Did you use any boost pedals?
That was fun🎉
Perefect .please show how to made this preset
You buy the Max bundle? Is that include Mesa/Boogie?
all sounds great! what guitar and pickup do you used?
Thank you!
I used fernandes Revolver X , with 2 high output HH pickups.
As an AT5 user, these are probably quad tracked or something, definitely doesnt sound like this with a single guitar and not in a mix. AT is still fantastic though and can get killer tones, but a little more transparency from the uploader would be worthwhile.
Thank you for the comment ! I'll try to make better videos in the future!
@@Hithisishiroshi Interested in how you got your sounds still, is this quad tracked?
@@Way2MetaL It is Recorded twice, one guitar 100%left, another one 100% right. The mix isn't great but I tried to do my best.
@@Hithisishiroshi Ok so not quad tracked, you get great sounds i'd like to hear them out of the mix. I have trouble getting mine to sound this good for sure with the amps you are using.
dude this is actually nice sounding and if you did little to no mixing it proves Amp 5 is getting really close to the the real thing.
Did you put your setting on Tone Net? So people can try it themselves...I new to thjat so i am tryin to see if thats the trading set ups with others ..
Nice! Did you use the same cabinet for all of them?
My favorite is the ENGL e650. In this video the slo sounded the best imo.
Thanks man!
I used stock cabs for each amp 🙌
nicee man! i wanna get this new version
Thank you so much! Hell yeah! Good luck 🙌😼
why does your daw sound good and mine doesnt
Engl Powerball the best by far
This was fantastic. Id love more detail on your settings, presets, effect chains, etc! Could REALLY help a lot of us I'm sure.
Thanks man 🤘
Thank you so much!
Well the settings for each amp is the same as in the video, for the pedal section i only used a tube screamer pedal , tone on max, drive off, level centered.

what pickup you use?
Did you perform some tuning, or are these just selected amps without any tweaking? Anyway, the all tones are killers :-)!
I used tube screamer and a compressor in amplitube 5 and added an eq for the mix, thanks for your comment!
Metal Lead W and engl
in the time that this video was made what is your audio interface? the mackie?
Yes
Engl and Mesa/boogie not bad!
Oh man! Amazing sounds, can you share your other specs (cabinet, pedals and etc)? Thanks!!!
Thank you!
I used tube screamer pedal, the stock Cabs and Mics. And a compressor afterwards.
@@Hithisishiroshi thanks for the details 🙏
@@Hithisishiroshi what compressor & setting?
@@penontonyoutube6006 Tube compressor after the cab in the rack. As far as I remember it was default settings
@@Hithisishiroshi thanks bro
What drum prog is that? Or mixing plugs? Awesome sounds
Thanks!
It's :
TMKD drum sample pack for kicks and snares
And EZdrummer for the crash, hi hat, cymbal etc.
I'll upload some mixing tips a bit later so everyone can see what i exactly do.
My favorite is the ENGL😊
personal opinion maybe add a tube creamer in front.
nice vid bro
So in this vst? I know all of these amps are base on real amps right but I am a huge fan of a blackstar amp but I can't figure what amp in amplitube is base on blackstar ampa.
They don't cover "all" the real amps. But I believe you could get a guitar tone pretty much close to Blackstar amps spending some time on this plugin.
i just got this plugin sailing the high seas..holy shit its amazing
That's great man!
Rock on! 🔥
@@Hithisishiroshi i sent you an email when you get the chance too..cheers mate
this use stock ir from amplitube or your custom ir ??
Stock cabinet for each amp
What software is this recorded on? Logic Pro?
Studio One 4
Riff was better than the amps.
Is it worth switching from Amplitube 4 to Amplitube 5?
For recording riffs and rhythm I'm still using AT4 but AT5 delivers a very smooth lead tone. Overall I think AT5 lost some of the dynamics.
Is this all the same Cab or matched cab? Any overdrive in front?
I used the matched cabs for each amp, and a tube screamer overdrive pedal:
Gain : off
Tone: max
Level: centered
Nice Video! Do you have any idea if the AT5 Mesa models sound any better than the ones in AT4? Im thinking of upgrading but not too sure if theres any big tonal difference

Cannot decide! ENLG RECTIFIER OR MODERN TUBE 🤤
Agree! Those are great amps!
dude can u give me ur settings for the mesa amp
Hey man the settings are as the same as in you see the video, just add a tube screamer with this setting:
Level : centered
Tone : 3 o'clock
Gain: off

70% of the tone is in the hands.... precision and quality picking!
Good point! There's no amp that can simulate good hands. Yet! ;)
Would be nice to hear some melodies instead of this genre but it’s still a somewhat useful video for comparison in tone.
Thank you!
Honestly, my favorite amps for lead guitar tone are "Valve preamp" and "Brit Silver".
