Hi guys, in this video we'll talk about a brand new plugin
the STL Tones AmpHub
Here it is the plugin interface
Beautiful GUI
Let me tell you something really cool
it's something that makes me really proud of myself
1. you'll find a complete bank preset made by me in this plugin
2. Some of the cabinets you'll find in the cab section
was captured and sample here at Hologram Studios
Such a great pleasure to have put all myself during this IRs profiling stage
The core is absolutely update-ready
as more amp, fx, pedals will come every month
So there's a PRE effects block
the AMP section
the CAB section
and the POST-FX section
So as said this plugin will be constantly updated
There's a new Ignite's modeling technique called GEMINI
and I'm let you hear how good it is
let's start to have a look at the plugin's functions
Let's start with the first preset I've done
I've also indicated between [ ] the pickup that was used for the preset
In this case "Breakup Start" was made with a PAF pickup, being specific with my '91 Les Paul
GUI makes amplifiers look really great
This is a Fender '59 Bassman
this plugin works both in monthly subscription mode
(having always everything that will come out)
Or buying a "Starting Bundle"-like
manually buying pedals/amps/etc
I have everything unlocked
you may see something greyed with a buy button with the Basic Version
Here you choose the amplifier model
Let's hear this Fender '59 Bassman
Listen how beautiful this sound is
it's an edge-of-breakup tone that I really like
that basically is when a clean-ish tone comes to a first state crunch when hitted hard
I think that the modeling quality speaks for itself
on the left side we find the input knob
the gate knob
there's a tuner too
that can mute (or not) the output
and the frequency selector
let's close the tuner
here there are various block as spoke before
to activate or deactive a block you can click 2 times on it
and you'll se greyed out
it's active when it has full colors and lights
here it is a quick demonstration
in this section you'll find the pre effects available
at this moment you'll have
these pedals
once you chose an effect
you can swap positions through this icon
i'll show you
you can press the "X" to delete the pedal
we've already seen how to choose an amp, from this middle button
then we find the cabinet section
made by a brand new 4D technology
we can choose the distance from the speaker
you can choose the angle of the microphone
and then you can move the microphone in X-Y axis
So here they are: 4 dimensions
this is an extremely precise technology
and as said before i'm so proud to have sampled some of these cabinets here in my studio
in this zone upper zone there's the preset section
by clicking revert you take back the preset at its initial state
in this upper-right zone there's the routing type
mono, mono to stereo (that makes stereo-ready effect stereo), stereo
in this video i'm using the plugin in standalone mode
to give you an extremely honest taste of the sounds
stereo mode is particularly useful in a DAW, where you can send a couple of tracks to a bus, assigning to it a stereo-routed AmpHub
other than this, in the cab section, we find an HP, a LPF and a Resonance control
and we have a 2 engines IR loader
we can choose the mix between the two cabs with this slider
and we can disconnect one of the two, too
we also find volume control, phase inversion
this is a really advanced use of IRs
here the are POST FXs
Let's hear some more
hoping to make you have a clear idea of the plugin
Let's tweak the amp, still with the "Breakup" preset
Listen how good it reacts to dynamics
I disable to compress to let you hear this even better
Beautiful tones
This is a new "era" for LowGain in modern plugin
as most of the software-house came out especially with heavy stuff
Here you'll find your peace of mind :D
Let's hear another preset
This preset was based on a Vox AC30 with single-coil guitar
Let me grab a proper guitar
This is a preset I've created for all those U2-ish kind of guitar melodies
let's have a listen
I think you can hear how "real" and smooth it is
we have both reverb and delay in the POST-FX block
I'm using a 4x12" Orange G12M with an SM57
in the well known position
and a 4x12" Bogner V30 with a Royer R122
we can tweak the cabinet as we want
Dynamics qualities of this plugin still surprise me
Just to say I'm using an Avalon U5 D.I.
I really suggest you to invest on a good quality DI if you often use plugins
let's hear another preset
Let's hear "Modern Blues Approach"
that is just a name to identify certain tones, definitely not a standard blues tone
we have compressor and TS9 in the PRE-FX
Fender '59 Bassman as amp
100% Shure Unidyne III 545D for this preset
EQ, Delay and Reverb in the POST-FX block
Let's add some more delay
making it darker too
the EQ is just there to reinforce to mid-bass part of the spectrum
Listen how the "bell" of every note is clear
and how much in-the-face is
sounds options are really a lot
Let's hear the "Indiependent Finger" preset
Made for that Indie/Ambient world
Amp is Vox AC30
we have an EQ and a Booster in the front
I created it playing with my fingers
As you can hear there's a tremolo too in the POST-FX block
I made this preset thinking to band like Daughters and so on
I think the sound quality is pretty clear
I used EQ both in front and in post mainly to control bass frequencies
that this kind of playing and effect brings so much high
Personally, I love these sounds
Let me swap guitar for the next preset
I called this "Down With Me"
made with my Jackson HT6
tuned CGCFAD
with Bare Knuckle Ragnarok pickups
Amp is Soldano SLO100 Model
TCE boost in front at maximum level
and for some eq-choices
4x12" Bogner V30 with SM57 and M160 mics as cabinet and mics
Beyerdynamic M160 is a little bit angled and with a bit of Resonance
this is the blending
My presets are almost mix-ready
so you'll not find extreme bass
these are thought to straight use in a mix
Have another listen of this sound
Let's choose another preset
Let's load "Back To Roots"
[Guitar Change]
We come back to my Les Paul
This is a Classic Rock tone, based on a Marshall Plexi
Here it is cabinet and mic choices
I think the tone speaks for itself
Let's jump to "Lead To You" preset
that share some of the amp settings
and some different eq/fx choices
for a classic lead tone
let's hear it with a Mono to Stereo to better hear the stereo quality of the delay
Listen of good the harmonic content is
Again and again, the sound quality speks for itself
this new modeling technique is amazing
it's a new plugin concept, really good at our eyes
Made to be updated in the future
the plugin is fully resizible and ready for big/4K resolutions
really thank you to watch this video
Again, I'm really really proud of my contribution to this plugin with presets and cabinet's modeling
