Thank you for the update Giel. As usual a great service from Bremmer Audio :D

Maybe, just a little maybe, in the next version a wider track name window. :mrgreen:

Thanks for your work on the new "Guitar Amp", Giel!

Being able to use our own IR's Rocks! In just 15 minutes of trying it out,
I dialed-in a new, mid to high gain solo sound that will get a lot of use.

Looking forward to spending more time with it!

Man, I don't know - this preset sounds so good, I should keep it as a signature.
But, in the spirit of the season, I guess I can share. :)

First, the way I set it up, it uses 2 paid and 1 free plugin, 1 paid speaker impulse and the "Guitar Amp" effect.
You can probably sub for the paid plugins to a degree, but the speaker impulse has a big effect on the overall tone.

For the High Gain Solo sound, in order...

Waves Renaissance Axx Mono - Tweak 'Sustained' preset to taste (I have Threshold @ -22.4, Attack @ 0.00, Gain @ -12.7)

Ignite Amps TS-999 - Default setting, except 'Fat' and 'Asym' switches ticked on.

MTS Guitar Amp - Start with 'Hot Fuzz' preset, add Ownhammer H-BB-55_T1_Studio-Modern IR and tweak amp settings to taste.

S-Gear 2 - I'm using this only for Delay(464 ms stereo tap) and Reverb(Hall type) presets I have tweaked for my own use for slower songs.
Use whatever Delays and Reverbs you like.

For the Mid Gain Solo sound, just bypass the Renaissance Axx.

Thank you kind Sir.
As I don't have the same gear as you I'll have to improvise a bit, but it gives me something to build on.

I'm sure you can get close or better.

So far, the MTS Guitar Amp has interfaced/worked well with the 3rd party plugs I've tried. I just used plugs/presets/IR that I've become very familiar with and know how they react.

I'll try to set up something similar using only MTS effects in a few days. If it works OK, I'll post back. In the meantime, here's some free character-altering plugs that work well before MTS Guitar Amp...

For a little grunge and sustain on clean settings or more on distorted settings...

DC1A - http://www.klanghelm.com/DC1A.php

Vitamin-C - http://distorqueaudio.com/plugins/vitamin-c.html

For a little bright boost and to tighten up somewhat flabby bass strings(default setting)...

TSE 808 - https://www.tseaudio.com/software/tse808

and of course

Ignite Amps TS-999 - http://www.kvraudio.com/product/ts-999-by-ignite-amps
adds a bit of warm boost.

Hey sinbad - Got a Mid-Hi Gain Chain preset for you to try. It's not the same as the first one I was talking about, but I think it's just as good and uses MTS effects and free plugins/IR's. I should mention this is for PC and Windows 7 64bit is what I'm using. I'm sure you know the drill for this stuff, but I'll take it step-by-step for the benefit of those who may not.

First, you'll need to download a free IR pack from Ownhammer... http://www.ownhammer.com/free/v4-demo/ It's a nice package based on a Celestion Vintage 30.

It contains a bunch of files and folders, but this folder - Ownhammer Mesa V60\OwnHammer\Wav-200ms\44100-Hz\412 MES-ST\V60\Mixes\Mpt - contains what I used. You'll want to put this folder in your MTS IR Directory - mine's at C:\Program Files\MtStudio\IR\

You'll also need the free TS-999 v1.5.2 and TSE 808 v2.0 VST plugins.

Next, here's how the Chain goes. (I'll provide text below to save the preset as a MultiEffect)

TS-999 v1.5.2 - Default, plus switch FAT & ASYM on

into

TSE 808 v2.0 - Default

into

MTS Guitar Amp > MTS Chorus > MTS Stereo Effect > MTS Reverb


Copy and Paste the text below, (between the lines), in Notepad and save as "All Files" with the name - MTS Mid-Hi Gain Guitar Chain.Effect_Multieffect

Save it in your MTS Presets folder. Mine is located at... C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\MtStudio\Presets

Some usage notes...

If your MTS IR location is different than mine, you'll have to select an IR from within the Guitar Amp and re-Save.

I use this preset to play 'live' with the "Monitor" button on. I just setup a MTS Multi Effect in a track and choose the 'MTS Mid-Hi Gain Guitar Chain' preset. As is, it's good for slower solo's, but can be adjusted to suit a variety of needs. You may need to adjust the 'Noise Gate' or Volume/Tone controls for your particular setup.

Use the "Gain" control on the "Booster" section in the MTS Guitar Amp for more or less drive/sustain/distortion.

Try different IRs to best match your guitar/pickups. Usually, the lower the IR #, the brighter the sound and vice versa.

Not certain the TS-999 and TSE 808 presets above will save/import correctly. You may have to import them manually and save again.


I think that about covers it. Any problems/questions, let me know. :)

Thank you Saz. I'll do a shoot out between your presets and the Amplitube I normally use and post it in the music section. It sounds nice a raw with all the string noise compared to the amplitube.
