@@resington no, you can still pay for it outright to get the Amp Hub lite and individually grab models. It would be crazy to only have a subscription available given how against it many are. They definitely make it seem like the lesser option on the site, and for $10 a month, the access and features don’t feel overpriced at all. I just wonder if more companies will follow suit as their amp catalogs grow. Developing plug-ins seems costly enough, and without a guarantee of success with any individual release, those who might pay monthly for access to stuff already developed could fund new products ahead of time. I would pay for a neural DSP subscription probably 😂 although they might not be able to keep it at $10 a month.
@@BaritoneGoatStudio it's a great price and plugin. Did a video on it when it was pretty thin on the ground with options. Now it seems to be very well rounded. Definitely up there with neural in quality. Vtaramps are still my go to though man. If u have a pc they're well worth a try. Megafuzzie MK4 is amazing!
You can still buy each amp individually as well so there’s an option for whatever works for you. I bought a few STL amps as I don’t see my self using more than a couple so the subscription seemed like a waste
@@joshrexben that is definitely what I had initially been wrestling with. Too many things I might not use. But the cab selection as well is super loaded. I could see myself using those more than certain amps. I may ended up grabbing the individual Framus Amps if I don’t fee like the subscription is worth it. With buying amp hub outright, do you get any of the models other than the Emissary? It had said on the site that the Amp Hub lite was still $99 and every model on top of that would be $49.
@@BaritoneGoatStudio oh nice I might need to check it out just for the IRs. If I remember correctly, I got it during a discount sale and it came with one amp for free so I think I got the amphub for $50 then I chose JCM 800 to go with it. I bought the Mesa Dual Rec and maybe the 5150 later on. I haven’t used it in a while because I was having some technical issues on my system with it but I really need to mess with it again. You got some nasty tones (in a good way) that is moving me in that direction. I should also add that as an IT dude I’m not really against the subscription model as it has its benefits for sure but like you mentioned, I feel like I’ll spend a lot of time messing with everything just to go back to the tried and true that I’ll use consistently lol
@@derrickm5013 I have a UA volt. But I am running an active DI box in front of it to control my input level and impedance. The Volts hi-Z input is too hot with little to no headroom at zero so the DI gives me some space to work.
@ I am using an IK multimedia Z-tone DI. It has an impedance control I leave fully up at 1Mohm and the option to engage a JFET preamp, which I typically leave off.
So i had tonehub, my dumbself decided to update and now its asking for a license. I tried to take the access code from my ILOK and it doesnt take it ( even though i bought it outright years bacck) its no longer taking the code> is there a way to download a previous version or revert back or is there a way around this
@@takesteadyaim88 they just switched from ilok to their own verification system. I have yet to make the switch with my Tonality Josh Middleton plug-in yet. The email I got said new codes were emailed to customers last year, I have yet to check that out. I would check your account email for stuff from STL and see what they sent out. Otherwise, reach out to their customer support.
@@sheharyarkhan2384 so one of the nice things about the STL stuff is that if you decided to end your subscription, you keep the player, and can then pay outright for individual amps that you might want. Each are about $49 a piece. I am going to see how robust the updates are each month and go from there.
@@tyrannosaurusriffs me too really, never even considers a subscription until I tried this. If the updates are good and consistent, I may hold on to it.
@@adamstein9333 I am not a fan of Amplitube software overall. The Tonex capture stuff is decent, but the UI is bloated and clunky. For just having access to modeled amps, the STL platform is much better. They don’t have the licensed names of any of the amps, but they are clear enough to know what they are.
@@petergedd9330 yep. Not sure how this will pan out long term. Buying outright models are expensive, but I would need to use at least 3 of the amps consistently to make it worth it. The October update was promising for getting well done IRs, but I will need to see what the next amp they model will be before I decide to extend my access.
STL is quality for sure. Have they taken away the pay outright feature?

what interface are you using? I've tried amp hub with fractal fm3, helix, ua volt and rme babyface and I still cant get it to cut like that

I just can't get behind the subscription model, but this is way too tempting if I'm honest.

I dislike subscriptions. I definitely prefer the buy once cry once method 🤣
