  • MIX INFORMATION
    Both mixes have identical processing on Bass, Drums, and the Master Bus
    The main rhythm guitars were EQ'd differently to remove and harsh frequencies from each. Additional Guitars had the same basic EQ shaping and the same post effects
    Guitar has Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient Pickups, the same ones on Spiritbox - Singles Collection
    Clean Tones are using the split inner coils of the pickups in parallel

    to me it really just seems like spritibox is more out of box easier to use for low tunings compared to nolly which can be harder to dial in drop f or drop e tones

    Im liking the Mixbox, personally. Really digging that riff as well! I like how there are those super subtle offbeat couple of licks toward the end to throw u off a bit. Still melodic and heavy. Well done.

    Great comparison! I’m in the middle of my own review and I’m comparing it to the Fortin Cali (just my personal favorite from NDSP). I like this plugin for 8 string stuff but I mean it doesn’t seem to be providing anything that other plugins from STL Tones and Neural haven’t already. I might try to see if my old Bias FX stuff can get close to it.
    Again, great comparison and thank you for doing this!

    Nolly will forever be my go-to for bright sparkling tones (maybe with some Rabea sprinkled in), but I think Gojira would have been a more fun comparison for the heavier rhythm tones. I actually prefer mixwave here for that, it's just thicccc.

      @@Nic.Arreola Gojira is really good and I absolutely love it, but I feel like Nolly just always had a lot more usecases. Gojira only really excels in a few specific situations (especially with relatively high tunings like drop D or drop C on a 6-string, which makes sense since that is what Gojira uses), yet Nolly feels like it's really useful on pretty much every metal song imaginable. This is also where Mixwave Stringer comes in for me, because it also feels extremely versatile to me. I still like Nolly a little more most of the time but Stringer also has some very very good tones in there. Specifically the high end on otherwise extremely low tuned guitars just sounds sooo crisp to me.

    I like the mixwave. From a mixing standpoint, ive found it easier to be subtractive with my eq rather than additive, and theres plenty of brightness to take away from, almost like an orange head.

    • @Nic.Arreola
      @Nic.Arreola  11 месяцев назад

      Interesting, i find Orange amps incredibly dull, round and fuzzy.
      All the EQ on the guitars is subtractive, just removing resonances, cutting low end, and a slight scoop. While the nolly had more i needed to remove, i liked having that option to not go as hard on the EQ and retain the extra top end
      While the mix wave started where nolly ended, if not a little too middy and dark

    • @patchbaycowboy
      @patchbaycowboy 11 месяцев назад

      My only experience with them was an ad30 (9 tubes 🥹) dual channel into ppc212. I put a vox valvetronix as the multifx using the vs5 footswitch. I would toggle between the dual rec and fender bassman sims and it rocked. It is definitely round and fuzzy, but i like that. I eventually parted with it as replacing tubes would be pretty costly.
      I have the neural granophyre and fortin cali, those are pretty nice. I tried out some mixwave and my favorite feature is probably the gate, it seems to work a little more dynamically than the ndsp stuff, although i wish there was an option to just buy the amp and cab instead of the whole suite

    I prefer Nolly, sounds lively, the Mixwave has a nasal and honky bump in the midrange. I'm sure you can dial those out by switching to different IRs and applying EQs, to marginal returns, if any at all.
    Point is I'm perfectly happy with the tone from Nolly, I don't see myself buying more ampsims in the future.

    Keeping in mind that I am biased to prefer Neural, I thought that the MixWave would win since this is a very Spiritbox style of playing you did, but the MixWave was too dark and sizzly. The Nolly sounded brighter and more articulate from clean to high gain. That said, I don't know what the price difference is, and to each their own, but the Nolly wins it for me.

  • @ItzRoger
    @ItzRoger 9 месяцев назад +1

    I'm not sure how to word it but in my opinion Archetype: Nolly sounds like it makes better use of stereo space than Mixwave: Mike Stringer does, the Nolly tone just sounds a lot less focused in on one spot and doesn't have that in your face presence there to take away the sense of atmosphere. Whereas the Mixwave tone, while not bad at all (I like it a lot actually) just doesn't sound quite right. If I had to choose between the two plugins based on my experience with them I would go for Mixwave: Mike Stringer. But down the road I would absolutely add the other to my collection as well.
    And I'm sure some of the differences may actually be negligible if you tweak around with EQ, cabinets, and mic positioning.

    • @Nic.Arreola
      @Nic.Arreola  11 месяцев назад

      Nolly is still the way to go for me. The main gain sound for Mixwave has way less high-end information to carve with when mixing, and theres a low/ low mid range i find that gets in the of parallax bass and GGD Drums. The cab sim less cleans also dont do it for me, but thats very pickups dependent
      However, Mixwave is fantastic for all the little background noises, im doing a full band cover for Secret Garden right now and the delays and reverbs hit the nail on the head for the Spiritbox sound
      But im not a professional and MixWave is the only thing on the upcoming Spiritbox EP, and that sounds great so far, so what do i know. Every other comment on this video is someone preferring a different plugin
