Yes and the whole ploy, including with Overloud, is to get us all hooked over to desktop. You can tell by everyone’s marketing materials, promos, and schemes. Can’t blame them, meanwhile we are beneficiaries of great iOS products at a fraction of the cost.
Just started using the free clean amp and holy wowza that thing is 100x better than tonestack which I've been using for years lol
I'm using a semi hollow and a lot of emulators really sound like distorted farts or super same-y but this sounds fresh and crisp like a real amp.
Then I plugged my vox AC30 nutube amp into the signal chain and it is such a killer chime booster too. Can't wait to try out some of the others.
I'll still probably get the nembrini bass amp. I'm finding the THU takes the nembr effects very well so I believe in it.
Damn! wim’s logic wins again! 😊
The Overloud bass amps are quite good, I find the bass cabs to be a bit too bassy, so I use their Tweed ‘59 4x12 which is a guitar and bass cab, they actually use it in their bass world preset bank. Then their Bass Rigs Vol. 1 collection is excellent, those are based on actual real world amp captures (Darkglass, Trace, etc..), like Kemper profiles. However, for a single Bass amp the Nembrini Blackice is probably the very best iOS Bass amp, by a long shot. It really sounds amazing, analog-like, and versatile.
Frontloading your interface with overdrives or other effects/pres and sending to Overloud gets great results. Currently my chain is guitar - mythical overdrive - volume pedal - interface - Overloud/Nembrini - Thafknar.
This allows me to lower the overall signal going into the interface with the volume pedal so the input isn’t too hot, but because the volume pedal is after my overdrive pedal it doesn’t affect the overdrive amount, only the volume of it.
The demo video was really impressive. I have Choptones Bassman and 67 Plexi rigs. They are great.
"Follow the money" is always my base assumption.
Thankfully indie iOS developers are always an amazing exception to that rule.
This is what I do as well, I use MixBox and Tonestack Pro effects before AND after THU/Nembrini into Thafknar and OH IR’s and save as AUM presets copied to iCloud so can sync them between devices.
Wow!! What a wide range of sounds. All great. $12.99 price tag didn't hurt either. I also bought the ADA MP1 rig. 80's tones for days.
I see Overloud has released a new preamp:
BHS GODDESS is the TH-U expansion library, signed by Big Hairy Sounds, seeking to recreate the 90’s and 2000’s tones of Stone Temple Pilots*, Bonnie Raitt*, School of Fish*, and others, based on Demeter* amplifiers. 45 rigs are captured.
Anybody have any thoughts or experiences with Big Hairy Sounds releases? How do they compare to the Choptones offering?
Big hairy sounds rigs are really among the best available in over loud.
Their soldano rig is truly amazing!
Thanks, Flo! Good to know.
I’m not familiar with Demeter products. Guessing that’s what Bonnie Raitt uses to get that gritty slide tone of hers.
BHS releases are fantastic. As @flo26 says the BHS Sold rig is one of Overloud’s very best. I also have the ACE and the MetlX, they’re great. With BHS there’s a lot of thickness in the lower mids, lots of rich texture, but it stays warm across the spectrum and doesn’t get harsh. Something to keep in mind though, the BHS rigs are quite niche in the sense that they’re perfect for 80s sounds. If you peruse all the BHS rigs, you’ll notice it’s all 80s guitar god rigs or metal rigs or 80s studio type rigs. Lots of warm high gain, blazing leads, and those 80s cleans. Choptones have the Fenders, Marshalls, boutique blues amps, etc… so BHS is really filling that 80s void in Overloud’s offerings. The BHS preset banks are also really extensive, if you’re into presets. Choptones banks only offer like 10 presets per rig, BHS offers 50 or more. I might get the BHS River rig also, though it’s not like I’m trying to play any Skid Row.
Regarding BHS Goddess, I like the original Demeter preamp, but the demo sounds really fizzy, just STP type riffs. Haven’t tried this rig though, hope it’s good. I personally don’t need that preampy distortion sound in my arsenal. It is a very studio direct type sound with a digital feel. Some people love that direct console sound. I prefer a roomier vintage amp or holy grail amp sounds with cabinet IRs.
From the Demeter web site on the most recent amp design which refers to the "legendary" TGA-3.
From Vintage Guitar magazine:
Wow, thanks for the instant PhD on BHS and Demeter, guys! It’s the encyclopedic knowledge base of the forum that never ceases to amaze me…
Some of those Demeter amps sound truly impressive, McD. It was also very cool I just happening to be listening to Sonny Landreth while reading about their products. That TGA-2 sounds like a real diverse monster.
So I played well into the morning with the Dang Custom and was totally loving the amazing variety of tones I was able to get from it. However, after sleeping on it, I’m still hungry for a collection with really awesome single coil clean tones.
I was listening to the Bassman rig examples and thought that might be worth investing-in, but was wondering if there were others I should consider before making another rig purchase before the Overloud sale ends…
Tone impera might be a good choice.
Good clean,crunch and lead tones.
Fender amps inspired.
Awesome, I’ll check the demos on that one. Thanks, Flo!
I dug deep in this thread to find @JoyceRoadStudios’ Fenderish rig rundown, and it seems at the time he was a Bassman fan, but I didn’t see any mention of the Impera on that post.
Hope this doesn’t cause him to go out and purchase it if he doesn’t already own it! 😅
Dang and Bassman are very similar tonally so I think you’re covered there…. in the real world Bassman circuit inspired Dumble…
100% tone impera is great with single coils. It has the perfect glassy clank for it. I found the Suhr rig much better with single coils than humbuckers, especially if you’re a Pete Thorn crunchy lead tones fan. Many of the choptones fenders and Marshalls are also well suited…
Yeah, so I went to Overloud and checked the video on the Impera. Only humbuckers were used there.
Then I searched on YouTube for Impera demos and here’s this video by some French guy named Florent Roux…
Yup, Flo26 has this awesome demo of the Tone Impera:
Geez, Flo! You go through all the effort to make these outstanding videos, yet are too shy to promote them!
So glad I found it, and yes, with the additional blessing of Sir Joyce Road Studios, it is a total no-brainer.
Tone Impera it is!
Thank you both so much for your input! 😊
My pleasure.
Enjoy!
Okay, so you guys have GOT to watch this one!
Earlier-on I searched YouTube for Impera demo videos — which were great.
Today I did a deeper dive and found yet another Impera video by Flo, but this one has him actually playing!
Truly awesome stuff, and if you watch very carefully, Flo even reveals his “Guitar Face!”
As usual, incredibly tasty playing by Flo. Thanks yet again for the Impera recommendations, guys!
Please subscribe if you have not😉.
I don't see it in the store yet, do you have the desktop version?
It is in the iOS store.
When you get to the Choptones rigs, they are listed in alphabetical order.
looks like i needed to update the app.... it's there now, thanks
Enjoy! 😊
Im not sure if the rig sale is still on. But im looking to buy 1-2 rigs. One is for metal and looking from @JoyceRoadStudios posts, it looks like either the Randall Sanat or LRS Serenity Gain.
I also want one for clean tone. Looking for something that will exaggerate the twang of my coil split pickup, and is touch sensitive. I’m hoping to find a tone somewhere close to Mateus Asato’s Time https://youtube.com/watch?v=r-9fiNDU-Iw, so something that will work well with reverb and an overdrive pedal like Nembrini’s Clon Minotaur. Any suggestions.
Looks like the Overloud sale is still on.
The Dang and Impera rigs are great for my single-coils, but perhaps @JoyceRoadStudios and the rest of the crew have suggestions for ideal matches for split humbuckers…
