I’m curious if anybody tried ToneJunkie’s “SLO 100 Crunch” capture yet. I tried and compared it with several captures and built-in amps, but nothing beats it so far. Actually the difference for me is by far. This very capture sounds so realistic, has feeling, with dynamics etc. on stage. Even with different gain settings. Therefore I’m using 3 scenes of it. Low, mid and hi gain.
I know it differs player to player, and the best is what you tried and liked. I’m happy with what I have. I’m just curious on what makes this capture great for me. As far as I know the best scenario of using a capture is to use it as it is, not changing the gain or eq settings. Because it doesn’t behave like the real amp, it’s just a capture of a specific setting.
This is maybe my ignorance, maybe I will find out similar nice ones too. Please just let me know your experiences. And if you didn’t tried it yet, go ahead I think I have the chance to thank ToneJunkie for this one
P.S. I also bought the SLO-100 X plugin and can’t wait for the compatibility for QC. Really wonder how it’s gonna be comparing with this capture (can’t check on computer currently). So here is a serious Soldano lover
I agree. I love the SLO Plug from DSP and cant wait to get them on QC.
The captures of them that exists arent so good as the Plug. So I captured some of my favs from the Plugin (without modulations or something se) and it comes very close.
Legend! Thank you so much! I’ll give them a whirl tomorrow when I can crank the amp a bit!
Oh, just thought, do these have a cab included or are they direct? I play through a marshall 2x12, so I can’t really use captures that have the cab sim bundled in…
Yeah fair enough. Far be it from me to give you homework, but if you were to re-make those captures without the cab block, it would give you much more flexibility going forward to swap out the cab as you see fit - which arguably is one of the most important aspects of TOAN.
It also opens up the possibility of running the QC into a real guitar cab,
It would help you. It would be beneficial for you. It would be more flexible for you. Maybe it might be something others might like, but it would mostly be bestest for you.
Going back to topic, I recently tried the Plini X plugin either. I was actually really excited about it, as the demos were awesome. I wrote my new presets with it, tried at the soundcheck and all was fine. But on the stage it wasn’t quite right. So I got back to basics, to my old SLO capture that I mention initially here.
My I only have one chance left, waiting for the SLO-100 X Pcom Maybe I loved the Slo tone and nothing compares to it, we will see. The only thing bothers me with this capture I’m using is it’s a head+cab capture and I can’t seperate them (just in case). Otherwise the tone of it is great for me.
Maybe it would goes to eleven! Great Idea.
IRs make a huge difference. I will do the homework tomorrow. At the moment I’m experimenting a lot with captures and constellations anyway. I usually use a Marshall 1960A with an SM57 microphone as IR. I bought an IR pack and don’t regret it. The sustain, listen to it.
as versatile as a DI capture can be (makes sense to have available for stage rigs) sometimes a full-capture grabs that magical combination of interaction in your entire signal chain that just can’t be duplicated otherwise. I can see the practicality of making both versions to have on hand but it can lead to some tough choices
