Guitarix.VST3 Test
I knocked out a quick jam test using Guitarix.VST3 on bass and three guitars using the presets I programmed in the stand alone version. Bass is through an Ampeg SVT model. Rhythm guitars are through Mesa Boogie clean and crunch presets, and the solo is through a Boogie lead preset.
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14557389 It's titled "Shorts" because it was played on my short scale Gretsch Jet bass, and short scale Ibanez GIO guitar. Also, it's very short. The drums are Superior Drummer 2 played from my V-Drums. No other FX were used on the three guitars and bass. |

Nicely done, sounds great in my headphones, and seems perfectly mixed.
Don't take the weekend off!

I broke all the rules on this test. Besides playing all the guitars and bass, monitoring through REAPER, I also used my wireless radio system on all of them while recording. I figgered, "it's just a test", but latency didn't become a problem. Guitarix.VST3 is way easier to use than creating a virtual amp using the individual Guitarix LV2 plugins. Only wish I could build virtual amps in the VST3, but setting them up in the standalone version is easy enough, and they can be tweaked in the VST, just not created. |

I like the jam! I thought I heard Hendrix does Dylan influences in there. Kind of All Along the Watchtower vibe on there toward the end. 😎👍🏼

The solo patch worked pretty well at channeling the Hendrix thing. I kind of wanted to see how Guitarix.VST3 would react to something like that, and I'm happy to say it did a respectable job. |

Unfortunately, I can't hear it. Care to upload it elsewhere e.g. SoundCloud?

I'm abandoning. I think single thread jsfx is not going to be good for these amps which seem to be generating convolution on the fly much like airwindows BussColors4 which had ridiculous CPU needs. Oh well. Better to discover this while coding the first of the six

Ah well, I've messed with a couple jsfx amp sims, and while they were pretty cool, neither of them were plugins I'd likely use, where Guitarix.VST3 is actually one I might use. I have a real tube preamp/pedalboard, low watt tube amp head, and miked speaker cab that I use in most cases.

Here is a short clip with Guitarix first, then Tukan's jsfx Guitar Amp, both going through Tukan's AC-Trem jfsx plug (with only reverb, trem turned off) and an OwnHammer AC-30 cab IR loaded into Reaverb. For each I play a little bit of a chord progression and then some lead noodling. I tried to get them as close as possible. Guitarix has the treble turned up quite a bit. The tone controls on Guitar Amp are flat. To me Guitar Amp still sounds brighter and twangier, a little more lively. https://soundcloud.com/guitarsophist...guitaramp-test

I dunno if this will translate, but here's a zipped up track template using Guitarix.VST3 and the Guitarix LV2 plugin tuner. https://forum.cockos.com/attachment....1&d=1678133706 This is what was used on the clean guitar panned hard right in my test project in the first post. Also, if this makes some difference, I played that on my 3/4 scale Ibanez GIO with the pickup selector set for single coil neck and single coil bridge.

On my short demo, it's not that Guitarix sounds bad. It's just that the Tukan stuff sounds a little better and is less work to get a good sound out of. I'll see if I can figure out what to do with the zip file. Thanks!

I've just been jamming a lot through the standalone version of Guitarix, so when the VST3 version became available, I thought I'd try recording something with it. Quote:

https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst With a button (online) to download a lot of presets. A lot of them are for clean sounds too, and specifically for certain guitar styles. Should check it out! I just downloaded all the presets, still need to test it. Did a test with the previous version last weekend, with couple of other presets and it sounded fantastic. Much much better than the Line6 Pocket Pod I once had years ago (which sounded like plastic) |
