Too bad because this does limit the tonal versatility. The cabs are fixed so you're not allowed to choose your own IR's. The only drawback for me is that those amps don't let you turn off the cabinets. Having said that, some amps still sound pretty good.Īn example of good sounding amps were the metal expansion amps by Ola, Keith Merrow and Jeff Loomis. I know, some people feel like those amp are too 'loose' or fizzy, but not ear-piercing harsh. They definitely don't sound harsh by default in those areas. I'm a huge fan of Mesa Boogie rectifier amps so I know how they should sound. Sometimes the eq settings also helped with this of course, but sometimes the eq tonestack was helpless.Ī good example of amps that exhibited this problem were the Rectifier amp models.
Usually the solution was to just pick another amp or dial it out by using another IR. There seem to be some harsh frequencies going on in the 1 to 4k area and they can be hard to tame.
In most cases this had to do with a kind of s***** harshness that some of the amps seem to have. However, it took quite some effort in some cases and this happened too often for my taste. So there are definitely ways to make this platform sound good. In the end I was able to get some pretty good an convincing sounds as you'll hear in the video below. I'm going to be completely honest here because I don't think I'll be of much use if I don't. Many effects can be added and of course you can customize the order of the effects etc.įeature-wise Bias FX has most things you'd probably want out of an all in one amp modeling/fx platform.īut now let's talk about the most important thing. Of course they need to make money so I guess that's the main reason.īias FX allows for a dual amp setup and cool routing options. It does leave me wondering why they just couldn't do all of this in one plugin. That's why it's handy that you can import the edited amps. There are plenty of options in this program that lets you customize your amp tones.Īfter you 'made' your own amp you can also use it in Bias FX which I think is cool.Īs you may already know, Bias amp doesn't feature any effects, only the amps.īias FX on the other hand features many effects but it doesn't allow you to edit the amps. It's not unique but Bias amp seems to have it's own approach, or at least, it looks a little different. The whole concept of editing or designing your amps is a cool. I also picked up the metal pack for Bias FX since I love high gain tones so much.
HOW TO MAKE AN IR WITH BIAS AMP PRO FULL
I decided to get Bias amp pro and Bias FX pro to get the full experience. I had never tried any of the Positive Grid amp modelers so I felt it was time to see what the fuss was all about.
Up until a while ago I tried and owned many guitar amp modeling platforms including the Axe FX, Helix, Kemper and many more. Time to talk about Positive Grid's Bias amp and FX plugins.
