I literally paused the video and just stared into the screen after that.

What I'm digging about this plugin is that they didn't do the usual thing of trying to make it look like an amp. That's pretty refreshing to see. Granted most plugins are good at giving you a visual cue as to what it's supposed to be emulating, but it's nice to see a break from that trope. Sounds great!

I’ve been in hospital since Saturday with Ischemic Bowel Disease and your vids are keeping me going. Thanks as always Glen.

I bought this plugin last week, I love it ! Thanks for the review.

I've been watching your channel for a good while now and i gotta say i love the tips, i wish i wasn't so illiterate when it comes to mixing, i hope to one day find someone who can produce music like you, until then i will continue to work on my writing and craft and keep myself humble to try and make it easy to work with me and saving the money to pay them for their time because forget the money, forget the fame, making the song that its your head happen in reality is priceless, keep up the good work i appreciate and love every one of your vids!

This looks sick, thanks for the demo, Glenn.

I bought this based on the trial and your review. It’s the best breakdown of the Rhino I’ve found Thanks Glenn!

I’ve actually been using this for a month (maybe a little more) and it’s hands down the coolest plug-in I’ve used. Idk if it’s my favorite amp sim, but it’s up there

glenn, i love you and your channel. im 15 and i have been watching your videos for 4 years. you have taught me so much. thank you

this is a sick plug-in. Glen your playing is getting way better. nice job!

Sounds really awesome. Nice demo of it too 👍👍

OMG. I’m so buying this later this weekend

Sounds great dude! I've been using Aurora for bass too! It's awesome!

So pleased I jumped into the pre-order of this!

Thank you Glenn. You are doing good work. The fact that you are an influencer means many people will listen to you and you are telling them that software can get them great guitar tone. That means there is just that much more headroom for broke kids to expand on their hobby or passion. I’m from more of a punk rock background myself and you know that’s good news for me too. I’m all about hearing previously unheard voices. It’s good for people to hear from a working professional that there are high-quality options for people who can’t afford analog gear.

Damn, bought it as soon as I heard it. Can't wait to play after work asap. For that price range and features it's a steal.

Thank you ever so much, Glenn! I bought Rhino following your link in the descriptions (08.10.2021) - It's 47,60$ with taxes; for me, this is 42,49 Euros! That's insane!!!

I love stuff like this, it just helps make things that bit more accessible for us poor people who want to do small projects for ourselves and our friends. I'll definitely be checking it out when I can afford to

I've owned rhino now for maybe about 4 months, and i love it so much that I've switched out my existing projects using the JST toneforge jeff loomis to the aurora dsp rhino.. i am just so happy with this plugin.

Sweet! Picked it up.. Thanks Glenn!

The riff at 6:34 sounds very like the boss theme from FF7. The plugin sounds great. Awesome demo

My favorite amp shit the bed last year and instead of getting a new one and DI'ing my guitar I think I might look into this. Thanks Glenn!

Niiiiiice. Cool for $40 for sure. Great work on the riffs and vid!

I was scrolling your videos list for this one frantically. It wasn't uploaded yet lmao!

Thank you for sharing this plugin. I like this one better than Helix Native and the new Neural DSP plugin I bought... damn. Good job, Aurora DSP. Mammoth next!

thanks for the video, bought it pretty quickly after watching

Match EQ .allows you to analyze and store the average frequency spectrum of an audio file as a template. You can apply this template to another audio signal so that it matches the spectrum of the original file. This is also known as a fingerprint EQ, where one sonic fingerprint is applied to another signal.

Goddamn Glenn that sounds great and has immense functionality for the price. I'm mostly a blues, jazz and rock kind of guy but I like your content and it's inspired me to play, write and record heavier... only problem is the amps I own are suited more for clean tones but at that price it seems certainly worth jumping into for when I want to venture outside my comfort zone! Thanks! Edit: I've also bought amp sims for 3X that price and was severely disappointed *cough* UAD *Cough*

I really love the kick's sound here

Great info, thanks Glenn :)

Both Rhino and Mammoth are fantastic, I've used them on quite some songs now, you won't regret them for the price they are. I like them better then some of the Neural DSP things to be honest. These plugins are so versatile, if you get into plugins/recording, get Rhino and Mammoth and get whatever you lack after that. The only thing I regret is that I got some of the Neural DSP plugins before I got these cause they never get used anymore.

wow. super impressive plugin!

Sounds super versatile just with the various gain options. Question: when you’re demoing these plugins and gear are you generally playing your own riffs or playing songs you know? Either way you’re getting good. I’ve been watching for a long time and it’s nice to see you improve so much.

So nice to see companies creating unique sounds instead of the 2 decades of emulations we've had so far. Embrace digital for the unique things it can do.

The Bulldog is the best sim AA have done yet. Highly recommend it.

The fact that this is only 40 dollars is fucking mind boggling. And the visuals are just amazing. It’s not only there to look pretty but contribute so much to the interface itself. Definitely will be purchasing this.

I started using Mammoth not long after you demoed it. Mammoth allowed me to finally get a killer tone without an amp. I'm going to get Rhino.

Gnarly. I definitely need to check this company out!

The lead sound within the mix at the end was pretty tasty. Like the attack to it. Nice when you have a proper player of course though.

Purchased. FANTASTIC interface and function. Has a built in 4 way IR x/y crossfader which you can import your own irs into, with great shaping capabilities. Has both an algorithmic and convolution engine with a bunch of great reverb IRs. Interface is super HD modern and NOT skeuomorphic (which is not only amazing but takes balls for a developer to do nowadays). It sounds amazing AND is cheap af. These guys areo n my radar now theyre doing something right. I hope they make more stuff.

Sounds great Glen, as always. I personally wanna stick to the old school method of few plugins, good players, good instruments, good mics, and good performances. I have too many damn plugins. But yes, $40 is a great deal for that!

Again, I still remember when plug ins we’re only air fresheners and they stunk compared to this Rhino 🤘🏽

I had never heard of this plugin before this video, but decided for $40, why not try it? And oh man, I'm blown away. I'll let people decide for themselves if it's better or worse than NeuralDSP etc. plugins, but either way, this thing rocks. Crunchy rhythms, soaring leads, modern metal, classic British metal, you name it. I even like the IRs it comes with, at least for plug-and-play usage.

dude it sounds great

this is ridiculous value, ima get this asap thanks for the review Glenn!

There are like too many possible setup ! omg I just cannot stop to try different things

Does it have any settings that will work with ukulele, Polka Style accordion, Or maybe Southern banjo?

Damn that is sweet! JST and neural DSP got some real competition! and yes definitely worth 150 as well! but with most amp sims being $150 then $20-40 on sale i guess they just figured to cut the BS and list it what it would go for on sale?

You need two gates, one on the input (aggressive settings) and one after the amp (less aggressive). That's how you make a really tight and clean sound that will not strangle the tone.

Just bought it! Sold!

Bought this as soon as it came out based on the performance of the mammoth bass vst ( it's the best bass plugin out there btw ) and right now it's the only thing I'm using right now lol

Bought this plug in months ago hell man it’s amazing

Not into metal as such (but I love some of it). This is SO going into my arsenal!

I have a tip for people who want to work with ampsims (if you don't already know). For me, I came up with the result of mixing plugins. For example, I like to use the Marshall 2555x (Slash) and the OverScream from Amplitube, but switch off the rest and use my own Cab IR etc. (excuse my english)

I got this when it first dropped and i love it actually

The song at the end was killer

What would be cool is if you put in your guitar signal chain in with demo in the mix? Amp, pedals, eq, etc

Sounds DAMN good with your guitar, "getcha pull" 🤘👍

Thanks and FU Glenn for a great demo! I heard some surprisingly good tones. I bought the Aurora Rhino plugin from your link, but just had a thought (impressive for a guitarist, I know). You demo'd it using your own IR. Is there any way to get a hold of your IR that you used? I'd be happy to pay for it. Inquiring (lazy) minds wanna know.

Glen your guitar playing has gotten crazy tight props on the progress

This is just magnificent, I mean, it's cheap and it's good

Is their the whole pair the thing with a cab so it works thing (which I can not get to work for some reason)or is it all in one plugin?

Glenn, what amp do you use for recording clean guitar? Do you go through the process of mic'ing up a cab or just use a sim?

i think this sounds better and it is more customizable than Neural Nolly which i planned on buying but this is bang for the buck for me

Sounds great, but i can't find the file to drag into my plugins folder in Reaper. I can only use it stand alone, but with ridiculous latency

Beta testing this on iPad; Mammoth is a beast as well!

Since I bought 'the Mammoth' my bass amp has become obsolete, haha. I can't believe their plugins are so cheap because they are incredible.

I think I know what my next investment is going to be for my home recording kit 🤘

Glenn! What mic are you using for your voice in this video? I noticed it's not an SM7B. 🎤🤓

I have it and it is great.

Insane quality for the price.

I feel that amount of distortion is too much for me. Take ammunition - freedom finder. I consider that the limit... Maybe it's hard to mess things up, since all sounds look alike at this level... I try to keep my songs with minimal drive so little detail is lost in the mix. I think it works for me.

Hey Glen, Would be great to get a back to basics video on all the main bits of equipment and their purpose. From watching videos like yours I've learnt what various terms mean, and what (i think) are all the basic essentials, but thinking you know can be the problem itself. Would be great if you could fill in the blanks for a beginners home recording shopping list. Not suggesting you recommend brands, just a basic list like, PC, DAW, Di, Mic, Cables, Duct Tape, Cable Ties, White Van, Hatchet.... ooops wrong list.

I have a difficult time with software amps. No matter how I eq the signal going in or coming out, I cant seem to get rid of this high end scratch that doesnt sound very natural. I guess I'm kind of spoiled being able to mic a real speaker living out in the woods.

im definitely buying it , I got it bookmarked got an early Christmas gift coming muahahaha

This is completely not related to this amp plugin....but can you do a video on how you actually make these computer walkthrough videos? Like how you screen record and capture the audio that comes through your DAW and syncing it up with your camera footage. Is there a specific way you're routing your audio to be captured for sync? Would love to see your setup

Damn, not bad sounding. I just spent $30 total on the Brainworx ENGL E646VS and Fuchs Overdrive Supreme 50 during their Mega Sale. Here's a video idea. Compare a few cheap amp sims and maybe some free ones?

Aurora DSP said they´ll port this to iOS, it´ll be the best amp sim for iPad!

Out of curiosity did it let you choose what drive to install it on

I guess I'll download the demo but I'm wondering aloud if it can produce tones that are less... I dunno... metal.

EDIT2: Wow..... i just started the trial, its absolutely fantastic. Already the origin sound, that is set when you start the amp for the first time, is amazing. Really great, ill surely buy it. Really fat sound. My concern that it would sound too modern was proven wrong. It has exactly that way of fatness that it makes it great for all power metal stuff. --- Looking good :-) I really prefer those single amp plugins a lot. I own quite a few more expensive tools, like the Helix Native or Guitar Rig. But so far i stuck with Audiority Valvestate Clone. It was 30 Euro but it beats all of the named ones, when it comes to certain sound preferences. I own the real Marshall Valvestate 8080 even but the clone is just as good. Basically unbelievable that a 30 Euro tool sounds nearly like a 1200 Euro Amp (back then). This one looks like another one of those easily affordable beasts. Thanks for showing. Maybe a tad bit too modern for my old school stuff that i usually play (everything from Metallica, over Megadeth to Death (the band)). But the part around 9.50 sounds great enough for that too. 40 Dollar. hmm :-) Im tempted. Edit: oh, there is trial even! Gonna try that right now.

What kind of Mac do you have? What is your latency in reaper? I assume you're latency is super low like one or two ms?

After getting Mammoth a while back I was so in love with it that when they came out with Rhino I bought it without even thinking twice. Honestly? Ehhh I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's feature packed and done very well but the tones just aren't there for me. I love amp sims and I'm not silly enough to expect "true tube warmth" or any of that nonsense but even still Rhino sounds, dare I say fake in some strange way I can't put my finger on. Glen definitely makes it sound alright but even in that I can still hear it. Is it a bad tone? No. I think it's just a preference thing. Even though I don't use Rhino much I still think it was a good purchase since it's a unique sound I might call upon in the future. Either way it's worth the money for 40 bucks.
