He has a knack, don't he?

A Laney Ironheart was my first real amp back when I was a teenager, but I slowly swapped over to a strictly helix live rig. Love the Ironheart. Very usable clean channel, and the boost can make it really tight.

oh man that for the fallen dreams riff takes me back

Bro sick riff! Your killing it man.

Cool music fact: When Jerry Cantrell from AIC was tracking DIRT he used Laney and Friedman amps and Evh Music Man guitars that Eddy gifted Jerry at the end Van Halen tour summer 1991 I think that's why DIRT sounded more Doomy and metal than grung Just a thought 🤔

That FTFD riff though🔥🔥 throwback

Very spot on with your Laney sound assessment. I just sat front row directly in front of Vernon Reid at a show last week and he had not one but two Ironhearts as part of his current rig. Sounds exactly like you said, very sludgy, a dated sound and sonically a bit dull. But it works for him I suppose. Great analysis!

Lol Mr. Notremolo out here with the sickest Floyd use in a while. Your random 180 on trems has not only been fun to watch but wonderful to hear.

Man, your chops. So good!

@@xanderraymondcharles your welcome bro. I'm curious how u came up with the riff, where you messing around one day figured it out or just got inspired by another artist?

I love your videos man, you seem like such a genuine dude

Hey thanks so much!

Love Laney and I love the plugin. Been jamming with it all day today. Feels so good. Cranked it loud af.

Man that's a very cool plugin! Very interesting Riff in the intro! The Harmonics sound great!

Hey, thanks!

Having had this sim since the Saturday after it was released, it is a break for me from the usual batch of amp sims, I have used in on a video that I found to be satisfying my need for the sonic mudslide that "Citrus" amp sims don't deliver, I do agree with you it's not for everyone.

The ultra luxe is really becoming truly your own dude!

those poor knife edges lol

I've got a Laney Ironheart 60 and I used it live for a while. Its a great Amp in a band situation, Really cuts through the drums and the bass, I have no idea why but it just works.

The amp sim is perfect for me. Alive in the fingers more than any other plugin. The boost also seems so different than tha previous amp I used to own. Looking forward to check one of the new batch and if i that good I will get one!

Aurora DSP's stuff is super underrated. I HIGHLY reccomend the Rhino plugin. Feels like a plugin you'd really like.

Great video mate ! Love the way you are reviewing gear :)

I was keen on picking this up. Not so sure now - bit too sludgy - as you said.

@xanderraymondcharles Honestly, I'm struggling to shift away from the Archetype Gojira. I really found my sweet spot with it, which makes it tough to transition to something else! 😆

love the Rush riff

The gain on this thing is more like a rottweiler growl compared to a 5150 being more like a wolf snarling at something

From an OG: that riff is one of the best I've heard in like 20 years 🤘

haha im literally sittin next to the amp version this second. It was my old coworkers head, and he let me use it for a slam band I was in. Its a pretty nifty head.

I own an ironheart 15 head and the studio i frequent has the 60w heads. That amp sim sounds like an ironheart alright.

Have you tried running a boost from an actual pedal into the plug in? Maybe a hotter inital signal would tighten it up better than any of the built in boost... Personally i like the sludgy tone but I'm not a metalcore guy haha

Can I ask a question? When you record your plugin demos do you have to record separate tracks each time you change the tone? Or are you recording on 1 track and able to change the tone from there?

Nu Metal tones from the early 90’s? I can kinda hear it. Also, how is it on CPU usage?

The real amp definitely sounds tighter than the plugin, at least the way I have I dialed I’d have to try the plugin to compare.

Off topic bro, what string gauge do you recommend for drop C? Im trying to play some 7dust

@xanderraymondcharles

12-60 would be my recommendation

It didn't live up to my expectations. Not bad at all, but compared to some other guitar plugins I couldn't get the texture I wanted even after a few minutes of setup.

We need more of that intro riff. It's too fun not to be a real song. 😁

Rush

Spirit of radio

Im pretty sure Killswitch used this amp for there live sound for awhile. They also used Alex LIfeson's Hughes and Kettner signature amp back in the day too. You playing a Rush riff reminded me of these random useless facts!

how do you buy this?

You're starting to build the same level of articulation you have with pinch harmonics with the whammy bar(sic). 🤘🤘🤘
