The guitar match feature is poor, and overall the guitar just sounds fizzy and distant with this app. Not a fan of Bias, doesn’t sound good to me. Pedal captures are only gain based, I would look at MixBox for actual fx. There are onboard effects like a great plate reverb, but my point is you can’t capture modulation pedals yet. Tonex has great amp captures no doubt, but for fx it’s only gain based stuff like od/distortion. But the selection is limited, in the sense that you just get some onboard compression, reverb, limiting, etc… it’s more than enough but my point is it’s not a large suite of fx emulations or stomp boxes, more like good generic onboard fx. Rhino is also great and has onboard fx available both pre and post gain. But a few Nembrini amps and their fx (free and paid) are also about as good as it gets. I don’t think Nembrini’s own host app is up to the task yet. Nembrini amps and fx are mostly great, but you have to arrange them all in an AU host like AUM or in a Daw. But if you get 1-2 real amp Rigs (not the sims) and the fx bundles, it’s about as good as it gets quality wise. The biggest con with Overloud is the UI (which I happen to like) and confusing terminology. But if you just want effects those bundles are a great deal at $23 each.Įvery app has its pros and cons. For $120 (or $80 on sale) you get all the guitar amps and cabs. In Overloud you can buy just the all FX Pack or the all Distortion pack, they’re $22.99. That’s a 80$ difference, but Bias has its cons. When I had looked at Bias Fx 2 store I saw that the biggest and most expensive elite package is 40$, while Overlouds biggest package is 120$. And IFX Rack are good fx’s, that with Overloud you’ll get even more of the same thing. That’s what got me more interested in Overloud was that Gospel Musicians fx’s come from them. I'm not a fan of Tonex (I'm in the minority here but I really dislike the sound of the app), and BIAS is unusable being IAA, how do you record it into Logic? Releasing an IAA-only app at this point in time is suicidal in terms of sales. Nembrini amp sims come second for me, and their UI is good, much more enjoyable to use than Overloud. The rigs in particular sound very very good, but again using them is a mediocre experience, the UI is just not pleasant to use. Overloud THU is the best-sounding amp and fx sim by far IMO, but I really hate the UI. Most of the current offer can fool most listeners especially in a fully mixed track said: Good to have plenty of choice to find the right amp for a specific track. It is even possible to get very good results with the stocks amps in Logic Pro. One would have a hard time comparing let's say different AC30 (my favourite amp) Sims in a blind test. Overall, the thing I realized lately is that tone is highly subjective and we reached a point where amp sims or captures sounds very good and behave more and more like the real deal, regardless of the developer. Those sound, play and feel great but can be costly. But, imo, the best part of THU is the impressive choice of rigs. The effects inside THU are great, you cannot go wrong (I prefer these over Tonestack effects). But it might just be the usual appeal for new tools □ Lately I am impressed by Tonex amps in terms of tone and playability. I'm sure it sounds ok just like Bias Amp does, but I eventually gave up on Positive Grid especially because they didn't implement AUV3, which is like shooting your own feet in the iOS world.įor amps, I think THU does a great job and their amps can sound as good as Nembrini. I really like using IAAs, but being that Bias FX seems it’s an old app and have all those amazing amps and fx’s that it’s a waste for them not to make auv3. Being that it’s not auv3 is kinda a waste of a good app. So it seems the Bias app is working right. I’m not knocking Thu, I just like Positive Grids stuff more When you but the Elite bundle you get everything in the professional and standard bundle too. The guitar match feature is nice and the fact that you can load ir’s in Bias amps gives it the edge imo, I came up with an insane tone just yesterday using my Strat to sound like a Les Paul and using a Celestion speaker ir. I wish it was an auv3 but aside from that I use it a lot more that Thu and I also use Bias Amps 2 a lot just with a hardware pedalboard. I own both, I think both are great but I don’t own a whole lot of iap’s for Thu and I bought the Elite bundle for Bias fx 2 a while ago and it’s actually on sale right now and would be a great time to pull the trigger.
