Amp sim for alternative rock... S-Gear or Amplitube ?

[TIMT]

Thats what I am interested in figuring out. How does exactly TH-U's Mesa Boogie based Bogie MKV differ from the way IKM make their Mesa Boogie collection?

I assume you mean this one:

vs the Bogner XTC modeled a la TH-3.

As far as I understand it, the amp, cabinet, speakers, mics etc are 'profiled' similar to what the kempler does.

Is that real amp playing a different take to what the plugin does after it?cause if not the plugin has completely washed over/ignored some of the more picky attacks and dynamic passages

I think all are the plugin. The real things audio is no where on the video afaik.

The free Auditory sim is going to give you a lot of what you are looking for - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=538191

Huh..there's a comparison from 39 seconds.one is definitely a real amp,i was just wondering if the take that was done with the plugin after it was a different take because its practically ignoring most of the dynamics.

Since you quoted me I assume it was a video in my link.
Are we talking about this video?

The Kuassa Marshall is great and the free Cypress from Black Rooster is one of my favorite amp sims ever for dirty grit.

I tried to work with that Black Rooster sim. No go. What am I missing. There is no stnad along and it won't load as a VST. What sort of file extension do they make? Do you need some other application to run this?

Def A4, Kuassa or Bias before any others w 3rd party IRs and ext fx

I have it. It's a common vst (no standalone), load it on a track and done. It actually sounds really good. Make sure you have the dll in the correct folder and that your DAW recognizes it. Along with some Ignite amps, they're among the best sounding amp sims (compared even with non-free ones).

I have Amplitube 4 but have never used it in an actual project. I use to use SGear very often..... until TH-U and the whole Rig Player thing. For me game over, I have used nothing else since, bought quite a few Rig Player packs. To me this is a whole new level of realism.
You should at least try it.

I have bought into this hype last Black Friday and purchased TH-U and some rig model packs.
I'd say I am not THAT impressed (but I also never was particularly impressed with S-Gear either). While it's definitely better than most other amp sims, I still prefer Mercuriall Reaxis for high gain (but TH-U rig player libs have more enjoyable hard rock crunch sounds). One thing that's off-putting is that stock cabinet IRs are really bad, so at first I was even mad that I bought this pile of crap. But using 3rd party IRs definitely demonstrated rig player potential much better.

I have TH-U American Classics and Choptones Bogie MKV, and I would definitely prefer Mercuriall Reaxis over those. And I would not consider Amplitube Boogie Collection at all as a contender for those.

i find it funny how any thread about amp sims quickly turns into everyone just pimping out their favorite one while optionally trashing the rest. hint: there's a reason why others like what they like. they have different tastes than you. in the end, it really boils down to "try them all, see what you like". there's no point in saying this or that amp sim is "the best".
