After not playing guitar for 10yrs and just getting back into it I guess I'm an odd man out. I'm a solo artist, wanting to write/record my own music, live in an apartment, don't think I'll be playing live at all... this suits my needs. I don't know why all the hate. Most tonal differences I think are preference between VST's and tones/EQing that suits you as an individual. With all the "blind" test videos, the difference is so subtle that 95% of your non-musician audience won't care or won't hear it. Get what suits your ears yes, but be practical and get gear for your situation and lifestyle. Most of us will never play arenas.
Pretty much in the same boat here. I got myself a copy of Studio One and was kind of disappointed with the Ampire plugin that comes with it so I picked this up to use for my amps and effects. There are definitely "better" amp sims out there but if you're just a hobbyist putting together tracks by yourself at home you can do a lot with this plugin and it doesn't sound bad by any means.
I don't know why all the hate towards Bias FX 2. I might be pretty deaf from all the years of loud music, but some presets sounded pretty damn great to me. Definitely some mix worthy stuff in there!
Don't Know why, but all the Bias products review from OLA do not give justice to them. I use Bias Fx + Bias Amp 2 and they sound really really good, I use them live (with a RME FIREFACE UC + Line6 FBV usb pedalboard as controller) since some months. I listen the same presets I use in the OLA review and they sounds crap, "pixelate", with no presence, Negative Eq... I try lots of Guitar Plugs (TH-U, Amplitube 4, Mercuriall and so on...) and I I chose and use Bias Fx + Bias Amp 2 as finally Live choice. For me absolute the best in dynamic, sound quality and software UI. I use to play Blues, Pop and light rock John Mayer Style. It Worth the price.
I use Bias everyday and it sounds great but you have to take in mind 2 things: -Stock cabs are completely shit, you can see in the video when Ola uses their own impulses with the satan and it sounds great. So pay for the Celestion expansion or use your own IRs. -Same for the amps, Bias amp necessary to make your own amps. Its a shame that a good software like that comes this way X)
Because you use Bias everyday, Do you have a solution for crackling and high pitch noise while using the mobile app? I have iphone 8 and griffin guitar connect cable, when I connect everything I get terrible crackling sound. I can get the noise go away if I change the output and the input volume, but then all the beautiful tone goes away so the app is basically unusable. Is it my cable? My settings? Even when the volume knob of my guitar is set to zero, I still hear high pitch feedback noise. I don’t know what to do, please give advice if possible, I really want to use this app. If for example I want to use Marty Friedman’s tone, I have the high pitch noise. I lower the output volume and lower a little bit the input volume, high pitch feedback noise goes away but the beautiful marty’s tone is gone and the tone sounds simple and not full and beautiful any longer.
@@88mrriss bro bias fx is getting us in a very very good direction.. just recheck your settings.. what audio interface are you using?? It’s most probably your iPhone mic activated somehow that’s picking up noise. Recheck n revert back..
Some sounds are stereotype. Like this is the way I a Les Paul humbucker should sound. But here's the thing you can bend the signal anyway you want to make it sound what you feel is a Les Paul. I'm with Ola I like it I want one
Such a great bedroom practice tool imo. been using bias fx1 for a couple of years now. I have found heavy sounds can be great but you really need to eq the shit out of your presets and back off the gain to get better note definition. This looks to be similar.
I'm just stoked how easy it must be starting to play guitar now compared to what it was in 1980 for me... I didn't even own an amp for the first two years because all money was spent on the first guitar - an old second hand one, and when I got my first amp it was a really bad one - and since I couldn't afford to buy a distortion pedal I ran the guitar through an old cassette deck to get some cheap ass distortion! When I started buying pedals it was always a gamble because you got what you bought and there was no youtube where you could watch reviews so you ended up with a lot of sucky pedals... Down the line I was able to afford a descent amp and a couple rack effects and was starting to like my sound but the money invested was quite a lot. We learned how to play with what we got though! Today you have access to way better value guitars and the rest is done with a laptop! There are enough demo versions out there of amp & fx software to last you for years and if you want to go the whole distance we're talking max $100 investment for everything there is! You people have it much easier that we had it, trust me on this! I have since long replaced my amps and rack effects with software today and I can do everything with a laptop and I just love the development in this field! I don't have to borrow money from the bank to get that sweet Mark IIC+ & Mark V sound as well as all the other classical hi gain amps - AND it always works! They never break down, blow fuses or having the neighbours complaining because you play too loud since you have the same awesome with just headphones! Amp manufacturers won't be the same in 10 years time and I suspect many of them will go out of business, which is sad, but from a pure sound perspective this is the way forward every day of the week! You don't know how easy you have it today!
Jens Andree agree about 80%. The value in guitars is outstanding now. I dont think the amp makers will go out of business, provided they can roll with the tech.
I've been using various positive grid products for years now, ever since I saw keith merrow's bro 2.0 video. Introduced me to him, and you. I use a tonematched Satan I found on the tone cloud. Love how it sounds.
I've gotten good tones out of Positive Grid software, but not without some serious subtractive EQ to clean up all the gross upper frequency hiss. And now I've gotta pay 199 to upgrade? Yikes. Guess I'm sticking with the UAD Savage 120 for now.
9:10 I thought you would write "double rekt" or "double rectum" x) 10:20 But you are a lead player! :) 10:30 That clean sound is awesome, I guess you could loop something like that on a 8 bar and then suddenly play lead with the other preset over it, that'd be awesome for a ballad!
@@martinkrauser4029 you're not far from truth. You know what differs great and mediocre product? Amount of hassle user experiences while going through menus to get decent results!
@Demondrive exactly! Though i don't think the metal zone is worthy of that quote. I find bias to be a tweakers dream and fun to test ideas in a fast and easy way for a reasonable price. I'll use other products for quality tone though.
@@CreativeMindsAudio that was just way I felt about it's place in the market, few years back everyone were using it and talking about, then appeared new players in ampsims game with better quality products and they lost the race.
@Tristan no, in real life you also have to tweak and find the right cabinet mic angle etc. Here you can load ir files which do that for you. His sounds in that video are not even close to mine, but that is because i have spent more time tweaking it and not only 5min lol
I think I just have a couple problems with BIAS FX 2. 1) there’s a compression effect I thought was really weird, I couldn’t figure it out because I didn’t have any compressors in my chain, but I found out it was coming from the power amp section. Turning it off fixes it, but now I don’t have any power amp (which isn’t very noticeable but I notice it). I guess that’s how a power amp is supposed to work, but it didn’t feel very realistic imo. 2) I don’t think the amp sims take pedals well. Using my MT-2w with any of the high gain amps just sounds screechy and terrible. No other amp sims I’ve used have that effect. I love everything else about it though and the amps work pretty well without my pedal. I’d rather use my pedal tho...
Thank you for the video. I m using FX2 it`s been now like 6 months. It`s really amazing, however when you come to high gain presets you have to EQ everything, as you hear fizz and clips.. I assume that videos on TH-cam don`t show real sounds, most of them are mastered.
No matter what I try I can’t get mine to sound anything even close to this it just sounds warm quiet and tinny and it’s not the guitar I’m using is there something I’m doing wrong I’m following the exact video
Probably a late post but try adding a touch of EQ and compression in your DAW. You’ll soon hear a big difference. I do this in Logic using their stock plugins
Ola! Great playing. I totally appreciate your metal aptitude!! My question: is there any use for BiasFX in any other musical form? Is there a demo anywhere of other tones for blues, pop, country, R&B, Jazz, etc.??
Until you got to killer satan, I thought the software sucked. You redeemed it. Probably just like every other modeler where the installed presets suck but once you get past the learning curve you can make it sound killer.
This video literally is the first video to give me an idea of what the necks on Solar guitars are like. That other angle really gave a good idea of the shape. I wanna buy one of these...trying to sell off a couple other guitars at the moment, but plan on grabbing one of those 7 string explorers.
Ola your a master at being able to dial in your tone on whatever piece of gear is put in front of you. Be it a computer plugin suite, high end tube amp , or absolute shit box, Ola will always get the best out of it 👍
I think the bias fx plugins are good if you want to emg pickups to have a kind of single coilish sound with some presets. The Boss Katana Mini actually sounds single coil like woth my 8 string and I prefer to mic the amp. It seems like the combo of two amps can help create a those kind of single coil ish sounds. If you want more versatility with more old school emgs than I for sure would get Bias FX or Bias FX 2. FYI, Bias FX has amps and fx where as Bias Amp has just amps really. I am greatful there is things to boost versatility with tones for older school emgs now, plus with this there is fewer things to set up aswell.
A lot of long time guitar people seem to be less satisfied with bias, what would be a comparable successor? What’s the ultimate? It’s hard for someone like me who’s a producer but not a full time guitarist
I was a Bias amp fan since maybe his beginning. Then i discovered Mercuriall SS11X plugin. Of course there is less choice but he is so better, for my ears, that i will not use Bias anymore.
Very noob question... does Ola is transmitting the BIASFX sounds from a audio interface and then to monitor speakers? I am new to all this, but want to understand as I want to use this BIASFX software. Does the monitor speakers (if used) affect and/or help to get better sound for the BIASFX?
Yes. I don't love it, but I have it and I do enjoy getting unnatural sounding guitar tones from it. Good for sparking creativity every now and again and making unique sounding bits.
I find with these modellers (and I use TH-U) that their drive pedals sound terrible. The amp modellers do their thing pretty good and cab emulation does a thing, if you mess with them or use good IRs than you're set for a great amp amp sound. If a pedal is digital emulation of a digital pedal, use it. If you have a pedal already that you like, use that if suits being in the front of the chain. I use a Qtron, and either a Metal Muff, or my custom built LovePedal (depending on what I'm playing) on the way in and everything comes alive.
How does it compare to a real tube amp? Or will we find out in a few years like the valve state amps, as everything sounds great until compared to a soaring Marshall?
I’m with you xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x . for every 20 people crapping on bias there is 1 suggesting their own preference without much explanation. So there is no real unity as far as substitutes go, it’s only “booooo bias”. Super unhelpful.
I mostly use bias for it's stomp boxes and FX. the amps/cabs are great for it's own program, but during recording i just use UAD's amps. or, you know, a real amp (i'm in an apartment complex and my neighbors have yet to complain).
Okay all of these videos sound so good. I have a Schecter demon 7, and a Presonus Audio Interface. Why does mine sound like absolute dogshit? It's too quiet, needs a huge gate to get rid of the ridiculous amount of buzz, and literally just sounds like (or worse than) a GarageBand plug in.
need to check that out someday, thanks ola! since i got STL Tonality I kinda don't care for metal amp sims anymore since it got me covered so well. Currently waiting for sales for the Dark Glass Suite by Neural :D
what is a normal latency with VST guitar processors? I got 3/16 ms in my Reaper DAW with BIAS FX, is that ok? I can't feel it, but I am curious what is the value that is considered to be normal?
I have 6.2/6.2ms if I use 128 buffer, 11/11ms if I go 256ms, using focurite 6i6. Cant use 64 or possible can, not sure if I hear little pops. I just did this services change, and just realised that a lot more has changed. So have to go back test it more. I'm not sure whats normal. But I have a pc and need to begin thinking upgrade motherboard, cpu. It was a few years ago high end gaming pc Actually after that black viper windows services clean up, I can know use 256 without hearing delayd punch on string, at list when I tried it now. I have a great tips that I my self did. Get to black viper web page. He has done this for years all the way back in early xp days. You can also get script for him to automate this, and you can get help turning of all does unnecessary background services that runs on a pc. You will have a changed pc after
Question for a noobie to BIAS here. I like to jam along to songs so I want a system that will allow me to download loads of different tones so I can play along and sound like my favorite bands. Is BIAS FX 2 the software for this? Do they have a big data base of user generated tones I can download and use? If so which version of BIAS FX 2 should I buy? I dont want to buy one version and then have to download loads of extras
how do you not get any delay when your playing? I noticed with a lot of virtual pedals there's a slight delay because of the computer or software processing it, is there any way to fix that?
I have a competitor called amplitube and it has a setting called ‘buffer’ and if you make that as high as it can be (2048) it’s unplayable because of the latency (the delay between the time you touch the strings and the time you hear the sound) but if you set it as low as it can go (16) the latency is totally imperceptible (to me)
xPowerShotx Yeah, my bad, I was referring to a distorted guitar sound and just now realised that it is not that obvious. But quite honestly, clean sound is also quite great on the Nameless Suite.
Hey Ola Ebola !!!! Give the TC Electronics Nova System a try for modern metal tone!! The distortion is shit but use in conjunction with your high gain amp distortion and the other effects it’s super clean and has magnificent qualities! All in one pedal!
@@kbuss10 I use Bias FX and honestly it's not as bad as used in the video. If you use custom amps made in Bias Amp 2 then it sounds pretty badass. But I also have tried out Guitar Rig V by Kontact. It's a bit confusing at first, but when you get the hang of it, it can sound pretty decent.

riff name?
@@trak201 it's Cerberus, Ola's song
I find the THU / TH3 much more organic, however, BIAS seems to be better at controlling and concealing sound artifacts
2:26 Positive Grid will use this part for the trailer.
The only thing that would make a BIAS FX 2 better would be a Solar bass playing through it. Just saying.

Wish those E type solars had 24 frets. I would own all of them.
As I make all my music on an iPad, Bias FX is all I use for guitar tones. I guess I’ll be watching for this to hit iOS in the near future.
the placement of the MGS sound was priceless!!!!!
That guitar match option looks sweet
Gotta tell you, that little intro you played at about 3:04 when you first loaded the Bias FX, gave me goosebumps!!
sounded like some Whitesnake or something LOL
I use Bias everyday and it sounds great but you have to take in mind 2 things:
-Stock cabs are completely shit, you can see in the video when Ola uses their own impulses with the satan and it sounds great. So pay for the Celestion expansion or use your own IRs.
-Same for the amps, Bias amp necessary to make your own amps.

single tear.
Very noob question... does Ola is transmitting the BIASFX sounds from a audio interface and then to monitor speakers? I am new to all this, but want to understand as I want to use this BIASFX software. Does the monitor speakers (if used) affect and/or help to get better sound for the BIASFX?
Am I the only person that love bias fx?
Yes. I don't love it, but I have it and I do enjoy getting unnatural sounding guitar tones from it. Good for sparking creativity every now and again and making unique sounding bits.

Sounds pretty bad ass!
will it be plugged into an amplifier with a bad drive of 100w? It will make you feel good? using the clean channel
Buy the most comfortable guitar to play and use guitar match. That's gold 🥇
02:25 great shout man!
I find with these modellers (and I use TH-U) that their drive pedals sound terrible. The amp modellers do their thing pretty good and cab emulation does a thing, if you mess with them or use good IRs than you're set for a great amp amp sound. If a pedal is digital emulation of a digital pedal, use it. If you have a pedal already that you like, use that if suits being in the front of the chain. I use a Qtron, and either a Metal Muff, or my custom built LovePedal (depending on what I'm playing) on the way in and everything comes alive.
First Thanks for the Great video. I Love bias fx. At 9:22 you change the Tune. What is you gear to do that. With bias fx or a hardware Solution?😬
Do I need to purchase FX 2 and AMP 2? or FX 2 is enough?
Fx 2 is enough :) the amp 2 is different and is for designing amps. It’s really cool but different than what you’re seeing here.
How does it compare to a real tube amp? Or will we find out in a few years like the valve state amps, as everything sounds great until compared to a soaring Marshall?
Yesterday it was 12:30 today it's 3:00 a.m.
I have to stay up really late for these videos
Question is: How does it compare to Bias FX 1?
hi . ı got q : why cant ı listen youtube videos ( sound problem ) while ı am using bias fx ( windows pc ) ? thanks
Am I the only one who loves BIAS and thinks this sounds great?
I’m with you xHeavenHelpUsAll7771x . for every 20 people crapping on bias there is 1 suggesting their own preference without much explanation. So there is no real unity as far as substitutes go, it’s only “booooo bias”. Super unhelpful.
I dig it dude!
For a payed vst I don't like the sound. The Ignite Emissary Version 2 is way better sounding in my opinion. But : there are no FX included.
I mostly use bias for it's stomp boxes and FX. the amps/cabs are great for it's own program, but during recording i just use UAD's amps. or, you know, a real amp (i'm in an apartment complex and my neighbors have yet to complain).
Okay all of these videos sound so good. I have a Schecter demon 7, and a Presonus Audio Interface. Why does mine sound like absolute dogshit? It's too quiet, needs a huge gate to get rid of the ridiculous amount of buzz, and literally just sounds like (or worse than) a GarageBand plug in.
Will the type of guitar I use matter if I'm using Bias fx? Eg. humbucker, single coil, sustaniac etc.
Can you make a song where you'd compare different apps, like biasfx fx2 fortin and maybe others? Would be great to see that
need to check that out someday, thanks ola! since i got STL Tonality I kinda don't care for metal amp sims anymore since it got me covered so well. Currently waiting for sales for the Dark Glass Suite by Neural :D
Will this work with Focasrite Scarlet in windows 10
Can confirm this, yes
Version 2 of fortin nameless suite now available:)
what is a normal latency with VST guitar processors? I got 3/16 ms in my Reaper DAW with BIAS FX, is that ok? I can't feel it, but I am curious what is the value that is considered to be normal?
I have 6.2/6.2ms if I use 128 buffer, 11/11ms if I go 256ms, using focurite 6i6. Cant use 64 or possible can, not sure if I hear little pops. I just did this services change, and just realised that a lot more has changed. So have to go back test it more. I'm not sure whats normal. But I have a pc and need to begin thinking upgrade motherboard, cpu. It was a few years ago high end gaming pc
Actually after that black viper windows services clean up, I can know use 256 without hearing delayd punch on string, at list when I tried it now. I have a great tips that I my self did. Get to black viper web page. He has done this for years all the way back in early xp days. You can also get script for him to automate this, and you can get help turning of all does unnecessary background services that runs on a pc. You will have a changed pc after
The new 7 string E type Solar looks pretty awesome.
Question for a noobie to BIAS here. I like to jam along to songs so I want a system that will allow me to download loads of different tones so I can play along and sound like my favorite bands. Is BIAS FX 2 the software for this? Do they have a big data base of user generated tones I can download and use? If so which version of BIAS FX 2 should I buy? I dont want to buy one version and then have to download loads of extras
Yes it is what you looking for.
how do you not get any delay when your playing? I noticed with a lot of virtual pedals there's a slight delay because of the computer or software processing it, is there any way to fix that?
I have a competitor called amplitube and it has a setting called ‘buffer’ and if you make that as high as it can be (2048) it’s unplayable because of the latency (the delay between the time you touch the strings and the time you hear the sound) but if you set it as low as it can go (16) the latency is totally imperceptible (to me)
Nothing beats Fortin Nameless and NTS in terms of sound right now
Stl tonality
Does that not matter what you also play? Dont know if blues and clear sound is so good on fortin, but high gain amp are
xPowerShotx Yeah, my bad, I was referring to a distorted guitar sound and just now realised that it is not that obvious. But quite honestly, clean sound is also quite great on the Nameless Suite.
Swiss Army knife and sonic palette to come up with ideas: Bias FX........Quality: Neural DSP.
Hey Ola Ebola !!!! Give the TC Electronics Nova System a try for modern metal tone!! The distortion is shit but use in conjunction with your high gain amp distortion and the other effects it’s super clean and has magnificent qualities! All in one pedal!
same old bias. no bottom end. too compressed. i was really hoping they jumped up to the big leagues with this one
Which do you recommend?
@@kbuss10 I use Bias FX and honestly it's not as bad as used in the video. If you use custom amps made in Bias Amp 2 then it sounds pretty badass. But I also have tried out Guitar Rig V by Kontact. It's a bit confusing at first, but when you get the hang of it, it can sound pretty decent.
Haven't got to the end of the video yet, so forgive me if you do, but put a slight delay on one of the two amps when using dual amps.
