Alex Skolnick!! I admired his playing so much as a teenager!

This man got some killer chops. Love his jazz trio band. Plugin sound amazing too.

amazing sound! love it!

impressive. glad that waves is stepping up their the guitar plugin game esp. with the PRS collab

Gotta buy this for sure!

The best $49 I have ever spent. The Archon model with Rosen Digitals prs stealth cab is awesome.

I concur with Mr Skolnick on the sound. Many modellers give you a "produced" guitar sound. By that I mean a sound that you might hear on a record release. These PRS models sound to me like real amps heard from up close. While I don't have the hardware amps in question I've worked with countless ones over my 40 odd years playing, (some of them Very Odd) and the thing that struck me upon firing up these plugins was that they sounded like up close valve amps (OK tubes) warts and all. Scratchy tones, awkward breakup if the gain structure is set wrong. Gorgeous response when it's set right. When you get a new amp you usually have to wrestle with it for a bit to see if you can get all that you want from it. These PRS models feel the same to me. Real.

@Salvatore Luis yup, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself =)

the heavy tones are decent. the clean tones are really impressive .

I've used the Archon clean sound for one song (with a very hot pickup). It sounded great in the mix. Still fiddling with the lead channel, haven't found a sound I like just yet but I've only used it for maybe two sessions.

Best I ever seen him Noodle

Are these comparible with the Waves GTR models ''Scorch'' (High-gain amp), ''Supernatural'' (High-gain amp) and ''Scream'' (Overdrive) and are all of these (re)modeled after the same amplifier?

New to virtual amps, will this work with studio one 3, artist?

Are you able to add effects plugins? Waves or otherwise? Like if I wanted to use these and add, say, reverb and delay etc?

Where are the Fx coming from? are they built in the presets?

How does waves plugins work?, Im a noob. Does it work only through computers? Or ipads? And then what else do you need?

most Underrated String slinger out there Alex Skolnick I bow to you Sir!

Whats the signal starting from guitar?

I prefer the Metal Skolnick way before Jazz Skolnick...is way more fun and admirable

The mid-gain stuff is the most interesting. Full-gain Archon to me sounds like a Metal Zone.

Superb, ofc, but why isn't he playing a Custom 24 at least?

Should contain riffs from "The Preacher"...

It's like a race to the bottom to deliver a high quality, reasonably priced amp sim. It makes me balk at the Helix & wonder why I would want one, aside from its visual appeal.

Does it come in a wood cabinet?

Cool to see Alex playing his "cheap" signature guitar!.... (I have one, they're near-perfect...)

biggest difference between cheap and expensive is asians feed the machines in asia for the cheap ones and mexicans at the lowest wage possible feed the same machines in america for the "premium" guitars

That being said, guitars have been built in Asia for decades, it's not like they don't know how to make good product. The labour exploitation in some of those countries is troubling though....

@@MetalBeastShred Yes in case of esp it's japanese instead of minimum wage americans. My point was asia built guitar are indeed good. The machines are the same, the processes are the same, with higher end having extra steps and QC. And better grade materials like hardware and prettier wood. Labor exploitation well, it's the world we live in. we in first wolrd countries thrive on the modern slavery of the poor(er). But it's so far away, and so convenient we look away. Kinda like the thing with the tree falling in the forest that doesn't happen if you're not there.

Just got these plugins, I can’t get anywhere close to these tones, can’t even to get them going through the interface, not transferring through to GarageBand or anything that these are supposed to do. Can I please get some suggestions to help setup correctly

No importa que bestia de procesador se tenga. Consume demasiada cpu para el sonido que logra. Quiza mejorar los algoritmos.

The tech 21 blonde pedals are the closest true di sound I've heard. Own the blonde and put it through a great river pre :)

Tried it, not so great for me, GTR Amps & stomps are better

there better be a fucking mark holcomb demo of it! that’ll be where i’ll see the rest of the range of what it can do with his style. the clean tones sound killer!

The archon tones sound nothing like my archon. Hmmmmm

The clean tones are OK. The heavy tones are piercing. I was really disappointed with GTR and only paid $30 for it. I’d say it’s worth around $12.

Are you sure it's not the amp right behind him? lol

It sounds ok to me, I like Waves plugins. But I would've liked to have heard the actual tone of the amps and not just see this cat playing as fast as he could for 5 mins. Do the amps sims actually have a tube amp growl and harmonics or is it just for shredding on. Have the demonstrators slow down so we can actually focus on the tone and not the shredder. Just my opinion. I will probably download the trial if there is one.

The Good Guy no I watched the whole thing. You can still shred clean. My point is this, “ let’s hear the quality of the amp sim and not receive the mindless noodling of some speedy player.” I am a guitar teacher and I teach my students the importance of more than just speed. Whether he is shredding clean or distorted we can’t hear the quality of the product they are supposed to be selling us. That makes me think it’s less than desirable.

Alex is a professional player who is “test driving” this software and giving an opinion from his perspective. This is not exactly a demo where they show features and explore a whole slew of tone options. As you say, perhaps you should download a trial version and see how it works for your own needs.

stfu guitar teacher nobody, Alex Skolnick will fry you like a chicken and eat you for breakfast on any stage. you're not to teach him anything. "mindless noodling of some speedy player". how arrogant! you are a clueless idiot. go listen to Alex's records first before you trash talk.

So many comments, no answers from Waves. Wasted opportunities.

The V9 sounds horrible. Actually, they all sound pretty horrible. I tried the demo and I think I'll stick with Scuffham S-Gear for now. The Wayfarer in S-Gear is the closest thing I've found to my Mark IV. I'd still rather record with the Boogie, but for everyday playing without blasting the neighbors, S-Gear is still the best amp sim I've tried.

So you are showing off tone but refusing to bang out some chords. I am only left to assume that the tone sounds crappy like all the other simulated garbage on the market. Good job not selling me the product, I can get a good lead tone out of anything.

God, his playing is insufferable.
