my benchmark is mercuriall Spark amp-sim. i think it has the best marshall tone and has that Marshall crunch/kerrang tone. I tried ML GNR yesterday, it seems that this is a bit smoother, more compressed but has less crunch/kerrang tone (hope that make some sense). so my conclusion is: for vintage marshall tone (to JCM800) i'd use Mercuriall Spark. ML GNR is a bit modern sounding, smoother. just my personal opinion.
Great tones! I’ve got an 87’ 2555 with a sl mod in the pre amp and a few cap changes that will even get me into the modded Plexi territory! This is my favorite Marshall and takes pedals well!
Like a real amp, the true quality of a plugin is how it reacts to your guitar's volume and tome controls. Bad plugins just sound bad when the guitar knobs are turned down. ML SL nailed the perfect AMPED bundle!
ML Sound Lab is still the only company that has released a cab IR of the Mesa 4x12 using Greenback speakers instead of V30s. This is in my opinion one of the best cab configs I've ever used in real life, and ML Sound Lab nailed it with their MegaGreen IR release too.
@@raven-lj4mo it's all through a PC, so it's not powered, and will come out of your PC speakers or headphones. You can also turn off the cab section and run the output of your audio interface into the power section of an amp into a cab, but that sort of defeats the purpose of plugins, which is the ease of use for recording and playing directly through a computer.
@@SilentScreamsStudios I'll second both. Softube has made the best Marshall plugins to me and Mercurialls Spark is the only thing I can think of that rivals them.
@@fromthebedroomtothestudio4094 it is not a real amp and in a full mix you will not be able to tell real amp from amp sim. This has been beaten to death already. Thanks
All opinions are my own.....its great....every freakin time...from every influencer lol. Wouldn't it be funny if one of them got paid lots of money and turned around and say...its OK there's better out there...
Well, GNR music is mixed well, so the sound is massive. But if u listen to the isolated guitar tracks, they're really not that fat sounding. BUT the most important thing is that it works brilliantly in the mix.
The most overrated album in history from the most overrated band in history with the most overrated guitarist in history. And they weren't even together long enough for most people to even see them Live in the 80s or 90s. The first "80s" guitar tone that comes to mind when thinking about the 80s is Van Halen Van Halen Van Halen! Thats what most 80s references get wrong or miss these days. Van Halen was huge. Slash plays a Les Paul that somehow sounds like anything but a Les Paul. Thin and trebly and harsh which would seem hard to do
Call me whatever you want…. In my opinion nothing beats a QUALITY tube amp with QUALITY speakers and a pedal board…. However, I understand the movement toward digital and computer generated sounds…. Much more efficient…. These days you can travel with a guitar and a computer, plug into a house sound system and leave the bulky amps and pedalboards at home and sound in the ballpark of good…. Understandable
@@RiffsAndBeards of course I can run another instance but it is nice to run the DI tracks into a bus if you know you will run the same settings on the amp for left and right. Yes, of course, if there are to be different amp setting then ya you need multiple instances which is cool to do at times. I just wish they had a stereo option.
You are aware that A- fluff reviews gear, and that B- he has his own signature amp sim from ML soundlab right? So idk how this is outside his wheelhouse
Lol, dude has a sig guitar, sig amp sim, sells merch that thousands buy, make music that thousands download and content that millions watch. Idiot with keyboard : so you are going thru tough times eh 😂😂😂
I'll reply to everyone, not a comment on his ability as a musician, or sound engineer. Slash amps? Who, in 2022 is saying, "wow I wish I could sound like slash". This is the most tone deaf release, and obviously fluff did it because they have his sig amp, not because he would ever have a use for this.
I think of Ratt, Van Halen, scorpion etc when I think 80s. Plug in Definitely has a lot of classic vibes.
Big ups and kudos on the freakin' Bad Religion reference dude.
Soo rad.

Which audio interface were you using? And do you use macbook or Windows pc?
Just got it myself I'm happy with ml sound labs, I have your amped package as well the gnr and bass rig
Really hard question...this vs flagship, what do you prefer????
thx for being u. its bliss to be able to push all the buttons
Great tones! I’ve got an 87’ 2555 with a sl mod in the pre amp and a few cap changes that will even get me into the modded Plexi territory! This is my favorite Marshall and takes pedals well!
When I think 80's tones, I think like, Metallica, Scorpions, and Ozzy, but yeah, I guess GnR belongs in there too.
Edit: Oh, and gnarly demo, bro
I miss my 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee 2550 so much right now lol.
I thought it was 2555?
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Curious how it stacks up against the slash amplitube series?
This Vs the Softube Silver Jubliee???
Very cool sounds at a fair price. Are these compatible with Logic or GarageBand? Or are they for other modelers/ profilers? Great demo Fluff🎸🎸
Compatible with both Logic and GarageBand, as well as most other popular DAWs! 💪
Very impressive tones

Can we buy these without doing the trial first? Instead of downloading and then using the code?
Nope...gotta get the trial
In theory, this + amped Dual should = instant Pennybridge era Millencolin. . . Right?
Also, Rob Ramos from Strung Out! He toured with a Dual Rec and JCM 800.
@@troyfrink oh nice!
Pretty sure thats correct.
Hey guys I hate to ask because I’m old school but how do I try this sim do I use a computer? And how do I hook my guitar up to it?
You need recording software for the plugin and an audio interface for your guitar.
You don't need the software.its standalone.
Just download the sim and hook your guitar to a audio interface which is hooked to your comp.
Hi Fluff what’s the black thing you got in the headstock of your junior and what’s used for? Thank you!
Stops the ringning of the strings.
It's called a Jimmy clip
Going to have to give this a try
Do I need a computer for this or can I use my phone
You need a computer

I like their Bogner IR pack
Not correct. Ownhammer released the California Duo IR pack in 2016 which has the mesa 4x12 with greenbacks in it.
@@jescowhite6047 you are correct, my friend, even though the ml one IS THE best
@@jescowhite6047 Nice! I'll have to check this one out as well, I was unaware it existed.
Tone at 4:58 is gnarly, love it!
Fluff I am new to the digital world are you using a Kemper? Sorry for not knowing. Thanks Robert
It’s a vst, it’s essentially a computer program amp you use in a daw or a standalone app
This is an audio plugin inside my DAW🙂
@@RiffsAndBeards powered or unpowered. I have a marshal 50., suhr 15i and a PRS MT15 so I have a bunch of amps. Please let me know
Thanks,
Robert
ok I am a noob thanks for the help

Rise Against. Very sizzly, but that’s how they roll with punk rock.
Idk man, it sound ok but not even remotely as good as the Silver Jubilee plugin by Softube
Exactly or mercuriall spark and Amplitube Slash pack
@@SilentScreamsStudios I'll second both. Softube has made the best Marshall plugins to me and Mercurialls Spark is the only thing I can think of that rivals them.
I think the silver jubilee is pretty mehhhh after hearing it for a bit in person, the real amp.
@@fromthebedroomtothestudio4094 it is not a real amp and in a full mix you will not be able to tell real amp from amp sim. This has been beaten to death already. Thanks
@@fromthebedroomtothestudio4094 no shit sherlock :')
who would have ever guess the real amp sounds better
Idk. I would probably just play the sweet child of mine riff until I got evicted
Good, maybe I can finally own a Silver Jubilee
Softube has an amazing emulation too, and think amplitube or thu too but can't remember.
As soon as i heard American Jesus i went and bought it... I was sold.. My Punk album now has That PUNK GOODNESS hahaaha
I was using Ampd Dual & ML-5 And now i had to go back and remix all the guitars with GNR. That is how amazing this plugin sounds to me...
...the flagship amped is very punk too.
All opinions are my own.....its great....every freakin time...from every influencer lol. Wouldn't it be funny if one of them got paid lots of money and turned around and say...its OK there's better out there...
Ehh I simply don’t do the video if I don’t like it. If you are looking for someone to review stuff you should look elesewhere. I demo stuff.
One of the best shows that I saw was on 7/16/1992. Helmet opened for Bad Religion in Toronto. Both bands were great.
Sounds thin and fizzy to me. Not what I think of when I think of GNR.
Well, GNR music is mixed well, so the sound is massive. But if u listen to the isolated guitar tracks, they're really not that fat sounding. BUT the most important thing is that it works brilliantly in the mix.
sounds like that because he's using a lot of gain
That’s because Slash cranked the amp with the gain fairly low. It’s almost clean. Similar to Ac/Dc.
@@Burnt_Gerbil yes, most of the gain is coming from the power amp, and sounds smooth, full of mids
It sounds cool but can we have someone who can actually play good guitar to test these plug ins and not these dudes with their may I help you riffs
May I help you riifs??
I smell a lawsuit with a name like that
Gnr can mean anything.
I still don't get why people rave so much about the guitar tone on AFD. It's super thin, harsh and fizzy. Now Use Your Illusion, that's another story.
I think the afd tone is the juiciest sounding. It sounds wet- mainly with wah but I still haven’t heard that replicates
@@corbindallas345 hey, to each its own!
Luca Moqi
Absolutely agree
razzy jazzy rasputins be disput`N nair be mut'N. I deal with mutiny well ! watch
When I think 80's..I think Of My Long Hair..
My opinion is that GnR killed hair metal…. Not nirvana
talks about goosing the input.... doesnt goose the input. come one man

@@RiffsAndBeards LOL
Buddy…. Why you hurt? Appetite was a killer cover to cover…
Ppl always compare shit to the shit we have now.

for me it’s nice to jam in my apartment with tones that are better than any actual amp i can use in my setting
Sounds ok but I am not a huge fan of ML amp sims. No stereo option so you can't run left and right guitars into a bus. No stereo, no buy
Your computer cant run another instance of the plugin?
@@RiffsAndBeards of course I can run another instance but it is nice to run the DI tracks into a bus if you know you will run the same settings on the amp for left and right.
