It's not Lead Rhythm, it's Lead Randall for Randall Satan and Lead Fortin for Fortin Natas. For me the plugin it's pretty cool. I'm waiting for the new update with new technology and new chorus en the Rack FX.
I tried the original version of this and didn't really care for it, this seems like an improvement and at least you got a pretty much useable sound out of it in the mix. This is definitely a good idea for a series
I don't like the initial channel Hellbeast comes up on, try using the Natas channel. It's thicker and doesn't have that glassy djent kitty sound quality as much. It's a lot more well rounded. Ironically I have the same problem with the mid character with the Neural Fortin nameless. It's got this stringy top end and the mids are nasally and pushed. But nobody talks bad about Neural so it's not mentioned lol. Much prefer the Cali or NTS suites from them. It's all just preference I guess. I think this is a great update over v1. And that mic position feature is a nice touch. :) cheers Scott. Looking forward to more in this series.
Nice Nile riffs dude. I feel like many amps sims lack harmonic overtone content. Like when you do a pinch harmonic, it should really sing. That's always the first thing I check with new plugins.
Yes indeed. With most of the AA line they don't have heavy, complex harmonic overtones when squealing or really hitting a power chord hard. Bulldog is way, way closer, sounds like they've figured it out. But things like Sigma and Hellbeast still have these overly shiny harmonics. They're not crunchy as I think they should be. And this is a cool series. :)
I would say especially after these EX updates they've been putting out, it's too soon for hellbeast EX in this list as it's not out yet. 1. Sigma EX. 2. AHM5050 v3. 3. Bulldog. 4. RVXX. 5. Reamp Studio r1. By far the least convincing though it's still got some goodies worth checking out. Ironically I still mess around with Grindmachine v1. With some external IR's it's perfect for a cold and rubbery death metal tone. Sounds like an old 90s guitar multi fx unit and that's kinda cool. Klank for bass is ok but theres a bug when recalling a preset or project that uses the compressor. Hope they fix that shit. Cheers
@@cmd_f5 Awesome bro. Thanks for the feedback I bought the AHM because i thought it was punchier but i find the Sigma might be slightly better for some things in natural tones. I did buy the bulldog and it hasn't disappointed you just need to tweak the settings a bit more but nonetheless really worth it.

holy moly ... i must say i like it ! and iam not easily impressed with vsts. It is a bit clanky but idk sometimes in the mix that totally sounds killer
I agree completely, I feel like Audio Assault has improved quite a bit from the early days but they concentrate far too much on delivering product after product on a quick turnout. I like the RVXX V2 quite a lot but yeah this one I haven’t gelled with too too much. Great video Scott.
It’s cool but nowadays I don’t even use an amp sim, I plug my guitar pedals straight into my interface with a high quality IR blend and start ripping ass
I thought it actually sounded pretty decent in the mix. But I could hear where some low-mid needed to be carved. ToneLib GFX is pretty cool to play with.
AA don't suck with their emulations much, it's just about their IR quality. Almost fuck all with good finders without buying a pack. Thankfully that died off with (yet again) these updates. AA is nothing if not hard working. We should remember that
Great video man, I got a question, why do you test the amp in stereo with the left and right channels being the same guitar signal instead of trying it in mono with one signal?
@@ChernobylAudio666 cool vid man. Just wanted to say,I hope you and your family are doing good in the Ukraine. I know it has to be scary times,with the Russians stacking troops at the border. Be safe out there man.
Saw you over on Spectre sounds instant sub. I dont even like metal but there is soooo much good info within both your guys videos that you can transfer over to any genre/mix. Cheers!
It's not Lead Rhythm, it's Lead Randall for Randall Satan and Lead Fortin for Fortin Natas. For me the plugin it's pretty cool. I'm waiting for the new update with new technology and new chorus en the Rack FX.
So have you checked out the new update? Crushes
This plugin is my favorite so far from Audio Assault! Just bought it and I´ve tested all. Love it!
I tried the original version of this and didn't really care for it, this seems like an improvement and at least you got a pretty much useable sound out of it in the mix. This is definitely a good idea for a series
Dude Audio Assaul is great ! It's a real beast ! I love their plugins !
Sounded great to me 💁♂ And I've already bought this from sale, ha! But not yet tested myself...

Agreed with you, Cali all the way

That's a good point, I'll start doing that as well

Bulldog is way, way closer, sounds like they've figured it out. But things like Sigma and Hellbeast still have these overly shiny harmonics. They're not crunchy as I think they should be.
And this is a cool series. :)
I tend to prefer Sigma or RVXX myself, but the new Bulldog is also cool. Haven't messed with that toooo much tho. Nice video bro.
I agree. Even for $5 I dont think I will bother with this. I am happy with the Sigma.
@@yoyoz333 - feel you. Sometimes too many opinions is bad too lol. Especially since you know you like SIgma. Cheers bro
Agree with you here Scott. It's not a bad plugin for the price, but I prefer some of their other offerings, like the RXVV and the Bulldog.
Great idea. Could you check out Vadim Taranov's amp sims? He has a suite of them. They seem legit.
Sounds like something perfect for a 8 second grindcore track
If you were to rate AA series, what order would you go in from best to least usable. Sigma to AHM, Bulldog, RVXX? etc
I would say especially after these EX updates they've been putting out, it's too soon for hellbeast EX in this list as it's not out yet.
1. Sigma EX.
2. AHM5050 v3.
3. Bulldog.
4. RVXX.
5. Reamp Studio r1. By far the least convincing though it's still got some goodies worth checking out.

Yeah I agree. I watched another video reviewing this sim and I got ear fatigue very fast...
Are you gona try the berry Amp from berried alive
I love that glassy sound

Great video Scott.
Great video Scott!!! What is in your opinion the amp sim with less digital noise or artifacts?? The most real nowadays
Thanks!!!
Haven't played an actual SSX-11B, so I can't really compare, but the SS11-X from Mercuriall is pretty damn awesome
It’s cool but nowadays I don’t even use an amp sim, I plug my guitar pedals straight into my interface with a high quality IR blend and start ripping ass
What about to check their AHM sim?
I thought it actually sounded pretty decent in the mix. But I could hear where some low-mid needed to be carved. ToneLib GFX is pretty cool to play with.

Great video man, I got a question, why do you test the amp in stereo with the left and right channels being the same guitar signal instead of trying it in mono with one signal?
For me it's easier to understand the potential of the amp as it's going to get double-tracked anyway
@@ChernobylAudio666 great, I’ll try it next time I try an amp dim, thanks for the answer, your videos are awesome!🤘🏼
@@ChernobylAudio666 cool vid man. Just wanted to say,I hope you and your family are doing good in the Ukraine. I know it has to be scary times,with the Russians stacking troops at the border. Be safe out there man.
@@jerryfick8547 look
Great series. Please do Bias FX 2 next.
Oh god lol
Saw you over on Spectre sounds instant sub.
I dont even like metal but there is soooo much good info within both your guys videos that you can transfer over to any genre/mix.
Cheers!
Thank you man, I appreciate that !
Greetings Scott!
Howdy! :)
I'm with the other people, their rvxx is better. Keep this series going.
The original is great for black metal. The natas channel on v2 kills for mid-2000s metal
Sounds like "swedish" style
