The amp sims in Amplitube don't have enough gain and need an EQ pedal in front of them to sound good. Even then they have total lack of top end beyond 10khz. I don't have any of these problems with Helix Native.

I've always been fun of Amplitube! I love Engl and Orange simulations sooo much :)

Damn man that section from 11:43 onwards is beautiful metal stuff. That plays with the rhythm so nicely and the transition is super on point.

Love your work John always. you consitently show everyone that tone is in how the person dials it not really the equipment all the time.

I really like Amplitube, the Orange amp models sound awesome. Thanks for the vid!

Love it! Great work! Thank you.🇨🇦

The best part is its built in speaker sim IMO. They used a robot rig to capture thousands upon thousands of mic positions that can be infinitely moved and blended. I've been using it with my real amps/load boxes and even before tweaking I'm happier with the results than the standalone commercial IR's I've tried.

Love the hard riff with the boogie sim

Great review, awesome tones and playing!

The SVX-VR from the SVX 2 expansion is really cool. It's a bass amp, but if you run your guitar through it and dime most of the knobs, it provides a unique distortion that makes the amp sound like it's breaking. In a good way.

Finally! Amplitude 5 is awesome. Thanks!

I have been using A5 Max for more than a year and I love it. The factory presets are amazing more than 4000 and once you start tweaking them like you sky is the limit.

Wow 😳 you're one of the rare I have seen using York audio pulses....I have the mesa and Friedman ones and really like them

when you play the isolated guitar parts, is that the stereo guitar tracks or just 1 track mono?

cant wait to listen to your comparison between amplitube mark V and a real mark V.

Can’t wait to see the blind test between this and the real amp (would be cool to throw in the THU plugin for a comparison on this one as well!)

was really hoping for an Orange walkthrough since you have so many and know the tone! Considering getting this for the Orange amps!

Always great tones not matter what gear you use.

good video my friend!

I use Amplitube 5 all the time for practicing at home. Much better than hauling my gear to and from practice. I agree though that some of the amps have different gain than their real life counterparts. Other than that, I love Amplitube. Been using it since Amplitube 2 and Amplitube Metal!

best vst. the fact you can emulate PEAVEY 1:1 makes this pluging 10/10

You could plug into the shelf behind you and make it sound awesome, of course it would have to go through a YA impulse too.

I really like the effects and racks in the software. The amps are ok... I have better amp sims for what I like. But I don't like the cab section. I always use external IRs with this software. You got some really nice tones here.

Hey! I bought that ESP Phoenix too.

Nice vid! I love when elitists mock Amplitube, so I am glad you showed it just isn't true. These people can't tell me that Amplitube 5 wasn't a huge improvement for Amplitube and certainly (to my ears) sounds the best out of the mainstream "all the tones" bundles. Sure, Neural's stuff sounds just a hair better to me, but it's also $100+ for one amp and a few effects for each plugin. That being said, I would rather have one fantastic tone than a ton of half baked ones.

It has been nice for quite a few years. The problem it has it keeps its older models around, without upgrading the sound / tech of it. So you have the exact same modeling in Amplitube5 on most of the basic models, but the named models or the MESA pack for instance use way newer modeling approaches / tech. And yes , that can make quite a different. So I always have said that Amplitube didn't deserve the mocking, and great sounds can be had from it (but that's also true for older bean-pods ...). Comparing the roar of AmpCraft's 5150-style amp to Amplitube's quite recent SJ50 did make Amplitube sound quite a bit off, though. A low-mid growl that is there in the Helix Panama, Revalver 4's 6505 or AmpCraft, but not in the SJ50. Doesn't mean anything for the older models, and still does not make the model sound bad at all... For a 5150 style amp, I just prefer different models I noticed.

Sounds super awesome, great playing as usual. What kind of audio interface do you use? They sound so clean and crisp. I suppose you use some type of power conditioner as well to get rid of hum from mains? It shows you don’t need $3k modelling set up to get pro results.

Sounds amazing man! What interface are you using ?

I have an AxeFx III Turbo...FM3....a Mesa Mark IV.....Friedman WW20....Strymon pedals..."quality" reactive load boxes, etc. and before all this owned a TON of amps from Lazy Js to Tone Kings, Fargens, Splawns...to me, I can make all of it sound great and sound aweful. I'm having a lot of fun with Ampltube 5 Max. Using the AxeIO and a pair of Adam A7X. In a mix (and frankly, even isolated), I don't think my most high end is ORDERS of magnitude better. For the price (and perhaps regardless), I'm considering selling off a bunch of stuff for my home use needs.....

The dry humor is great

Perfect tone in the Mark II, i have the same but sounds too bad. The Amplitube version is free and i can't put IR, but works in the same way if turn off the cabinet and load IR with Nadir? Please share the tips.

Sorry to put it in such a confusing way, for me it was from amplitube deluxe reverb to the real thing, and the character of the amp was there, but it sounded much more full and alive. Not that the amplitube sounded dead, not even close, but the real thing was just better.

Looking into Amplitube and other softwares. I always used amps, but looking to get into home recording. what is a good, effective laptop for home recording? don’t want to break the bank. is the apple mac air good? or a windows laptop? thanks for the help!

ALL these presets you showed sounded great but I have a question...everything you did was in stereo....di you double track or run the presets in stereo and if that...how did you go about that? Thanks

I'm not exactly a metalhead but the Mesa Boogie sounds phenomenal. This is the first time I've seen a review using the Impulse Response. I was not aware that this feature exists. What exactly is it used for and how do you access it / load it? Thanks.

What about the IRs that come along with software?? Are they any good??

Nice how do get that stereo sound on the guitars

Were the heavier tones double tracked? Copy or by playing twice?

I liked TH-U overloud program better. Couldn't dial (click) away the lag tho, especially compared to a real instantaneous amp.

How good is the latency compared to a real amp? How much CPU does it take?

I don’t think people should sleep on Amplitube anymore… their Mark IIC+ is one of the best Mark sims I’ve ever tried, next to Reaxis (agreed that the gain is a little too low though and needs a little input boost). It’s killer and so satisfying to play. The Mark V is pretty spot on too, though smoother and less saturated which is actually pretty faithful to the real amp, which I’ve owned for years. IK hit a home run with Mesa Boogie 2.

Intriguing to hear. I am a recovered Mark amp addict feeling the itch for them again. Out of curiosity, can you comment on if the Mark IV and III sims live in the same realm of praise as your comments on the V and IIC+. I have owned the latter options over the years but deduced I would have preferred the former ones in hindsight. However, the IIC+ and V come from the newer package release and seemingly updated technology while the IV and III are older and not as updated.

@@Tiger1016. I don't really use the III, but the IV is really good too - they're all similar but just have different voicings (as with the real amps). IIC+ & V are definitely the best two though. As I mentioned one frustration with the newer models is they seem a little low on the gain, you have to turn up the input gain in Amplitube by about 6 to 10db in order to get the taper of the gain knob correct to the real amps. The IV doesn't have that.

That being said, they are leaps and bounds better than they used to be. What I would like to see, are amps that aren't based on a real model. Then a real amp company tries to copy that. That day will come.

The best sims I've tried are the Neural DSP stuff but even then, I find playing through are real amp a lot more enjoyable and inspiring.

My only problem with Amplitube is its so slow to load. Same with Helix Native. And Bias Amp. It's one of the main reasons I haven't gone away from TH-U and various single Amp VSTs.

If you want to be able to benefit from the cabinet section in Amplitube, you want an FRFR speaker, like what you would connect to a modeler like the AxeFX or Kemper. Like other people have suggested though, you can also disable the cabinet section and go directly into a power amp/cabinet combination, like plugging into the FX return of a regular amp or by using a dedicated power amp like a Seymour Duncan PowerStage.

4 was definitely hamstrung by not having an IR loader, though you could always work around it by disabling the cabinet section and using a standalone IR loader in your plugin chain. Still, annoying to have to do that, and not as efficient. That said, there were some great sounds to be had in 4, I really liked the Vintage Metal Lead tone (basically a Marshall JMP100) in particular.

I wish they would start making modeling amps like positive grid. As great as the software is there's always latency no matter what I set the buffer to.
