Anyone know whetehr Rock Amp Legends figures as a contender? I've heard some good things and only need a few tones, mainly hard rock.

I wonder what sound other people imagine when they think of warm and glassy?

Greg

I did listen to recordings of real tube amps when i was trying to get "the" sound using freeware vst's.

as i dont have a tube amp, i got (downloaded) some sample tracks from companies selling new tube amps on the internet. this sample track to me sounds glassy and warm. i really like it. it gets muddy towards the end. this is from a new amp, i dont know how the old classic tube amps sound metres away, live.

here is the sample track

Which H&K amp is that supposed to be taken from?
Sounds good to me. Should cut through a mix fine as well. And, unlike what you get from others, H&K doesn't seem to be ashamed to post some really raw tones.

Haha, good try. You won't get these files, cause

(a) everybody would flame the poor poster for his guitar playing skills and

(b) it would show how lame most of this fantastic multi thousand dollar vintage tube blahblah sounds in recorded form.

There will be quite a few tube fans now who will hate me, I am sure - but did you ever take into account that listening to an mp3 file on your headphones or through your cheap desktop speakers is a different listening experiences to blowing your ears in front of your 2 meters high Marshall stack? And that the same Marshall stack will sound like blowing wind through a comb when recording it without tons of equipment...?

Sorry, I could not resist. By the way: I own some tube stuff myself (however, just an SPL Gainstation for getting vocals into the computer)... Peace!

Forgeting for a moment what tq said (he's got a point though) I found this old post of mine http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71707

It's not short but if you leave your dial-up working all night you'll have it in the morning. It's not a clip it's kind of song (2 gtrs+bass+drums+drone) and recieved some nice comments

jacksplat: there's not denying that the H&K sample sounded great.

I think you're in the ballpark with sounds like the 'Driven Blues' type demos on the website, though. When you have the sim in your hands, you'll be able to tweak the presence and treble to give it more 'air'.

I'm loving my TonePort UX2, but I have to admit, it's "driven blues" tones aren't as good as I would like. (It's based on PODXT)

FWIW, I'm gonna get GR2 next week. Will post some clips then.

NIce Sascha. I can't wait to hear what you'll play. I really enjoyed the GR2 demo but could not justify the price. I just wish I knew for sure if AT2 has a standalone mode.
