I found that the input level to be the biggest factor for me. The guitar pickup type (single coil vs humbucker) matters which is to be expected. It is even worse if you use a real stomp for the recording! Generally I have the impression that factory presets for amps are not worth a lot, because the gain and response of each guitar is quite unique. Especially given the price point and small footprint compared to other amp suites on the market.Ĭurious what price point the Melda Turbo amp will come in at that has been in beta for about a year now. I think this thing would get more attention if there were more non-metal demos showcasing what you can do with it. It is nice they found a niche with a genre (metal) but they are capable of more and calling it ReAmp feels less pigeonholed even if the primary focus is high gain monsters. Once setup can run a number of guitars through and get something usable without touching much of anything.Īudio Assault was wise to rebrand it from the Grind Machine name. ![]() I never seem to use them, where a real amp (a great one anyway). I haven't figured out why but so many modeler presets fail to provide a good impression. Sometimes just using another guitar sim, synth, or whatever leads to something else coming out musically, so for the creativity boost alone it's worth it □ It's pretty great for the sale price and just as another option. You can get really nice cleans and things in between, but you can tell that's the area they focus more on. I would also agree that they do tend to suit heavier styles more in general. I wouldn't rate all of the amps and options in there, but there are definitely some nice ones that to me made it worth it. I'd say almost entirely avoid the presets and things are better, so it does take a bit more experimenting and exploring the options. You can get some really nice tones out of ReAmp and I'm glad to have it as an option. Great to hear Brian and I was meaning to jump in and comment on your earlier post about that. No way I'd pay retail on this one, but at $16 for all the options it does have and low CPU usage - I'm going to suggest it was worth it. And don't be afraid to try some brands you might have zero interest in the real e your ears and do a lot of tweaking and you might find something rather usable. This is one of those that you need to demo to see if the "good amps" are the ones you are interested in. The very low CPU usage pushed me to the purchase. There are some surprisingly decent options in such a cheap package, including some low or mid gain options. I don't remember if I demoed GMII or ReAmp Studio when it came out.īut ran the demo (again) and though many of the amps are just throw aways that I'd never use. Re-amp studio has lots of amps, but most say they are below the quality of the stand alone amps they offer (my comparison above is in reference to the stand alone offerings) I passed on re-amp. The interface is nice and with tweaking and outboard effects I got some usable things out of them - fun to mess around and compare for the price. I'm not a metal player (since my teenage years) so most of these amps are not really targeted to my style. But this will all depend on how sensitive you are to such things. I find their amp sims don't have the best dynamic touch response, seem a little flat - non-3D, and are compressed with some fizzy top end. (and I did grab a large percentage of their IRs for use with both their amp sims and others). ![]() The price of course is considerably less. I don't think they are on the level of those personally but they do offer some variety and different sounds. How those compared to Amplitube, Softube amps, PA amps, etc.?
