I don’t have any connection with UA and haven’t gotten any discounts…
Now that that’s out of the way…the fact that I just got these for $30 apiece is just…freaking awesome and pretty damn fair.

I bet everyone, thinks the tube amp sounds better, but the plugs are very good convenient tools, and during current sale , cheaper then retubing an amp: once. As Quint says though, I like real knobs: there’s a dream for sale locally used, but asking price is over $400, bought all 3 plugs for like $125 cdn. Yes, the UA amp sims are OK. $125 sounds like a good price until you test what is currently available. They are worse than Tonex. I don't think that's debatable. Tonex is free... The plugins have considerably worse speaker cab sims than what Universal Audio released almost 10 years ago with OX... |

Tone isn’t really free as unless, I didn’t get the same demo but don’t recall a good fender, Vox and Marshall options
I guess we all hear what we want to hear. I’m very happy with the ua amp sims.

Better talk to your recording spiritual evangelist, but skip the lemonade.

Coincidentally, I just spent about an hour and a half today comparing these to Tonex today…I think the Amalgam captures are by far the best out there…and man, I couldn’t disagree with your assessment more. Some of the Amalgam ones are better than others…there’s a Matchless Laurel Canyon that’s really good. I’ll use that for sure. But man, I really hear a sameness to these. And I really thought they were much more digital sounding. Tons of top end info. The new effects were cool in Tonex… Also played around with different for the UA stuff - Ownhammer and York. Don’t know if they were better - they were definitely different. |
