  • I seem to have lost all the default presets on the plugin, any idea on what may have happened or I've done wrong. Only thing I did was to re-log into the plug in after not touching it for months.

  • This plugin has been the core of my bands sound, me and my band went to try out different ampsims for our live sound and man this one really is dead simple and ready to rumble, my buddy uses the 5150 and i use the tripleX with our own IR's. I recommend anyone that want a good crushing live sound to use this ampsim. It really it the top of the line, from his real amps.

  • This is by far and without question my favorite of ALL metal plugins man. I own every Neural DSP and STL Tones plugins (among many others) and I tend to go back and forth between this plugin and the Will Putney plugin. The Will Putney plugin can give you option paralysis and you may find yourself tweeking your presets into the twilight hours to get that "perfect sound" your looking for, which is awesome, but dude…. You can get the best rhythm metal tones imaginable in 5-15 minutes between the block letter and recto using Josh's plugin. STL did a damn good job with this one, and it's been my goto for my rhythm tones since I bought it. As an aside, I'm not bashing Neural DSP by any means, they make awesome plugins that I love too, but this damn plugin functions just as you'd expect a physical block letter or older rectifier to, and that makes dialing it in soooooo much easier if you're buying these plugins to save thousands of $$$ like I am. Awesome demo Josh, and bring your a$$ to Denver, CO so I can catch a show bro!!!!!

  • That was really really interesting. Maybe I missed that info but which channel are you using on the 5150 here ?

  • I hate it that you sometimes have to watch out for not triggering the forum crowd when you speak of scooping mids. Everybody these days is like Y00 N33D MIDZ BR0, when they know nothing of mixing guitars.

  • This is awesome, thank you. I have some examples of great tones from stl on my channel! Additional mixing tips go a long way with the vsts ????

  • i bought this awesome plugin but ive also got a trial going right now of stl's amphub plugin. funny enough the 5150 here and the 6505 model there sound kinda different. almost the same but to my ears at least all other things including the IR being equal the 5150 does sound a bit darker and with maybe more gain. cant go wrong either way tho

  • Hi,
    Awesome video.
    The intro riffs, are they part of a song? If so, please point me in the right direction.
    Thank you.

  • Saw you guys the other night at Wembley arena supporting Lamb of God. A friend gave me the ticket. I prefer more melodic stuff than them. It was honestly inaudible for me. Sylosis was the best band by a mile. Loved every song. I’d actually never heard of you before. We all agreed you guys are awesome. You have 3 more fans

  • Im trying the tone right now and I like it. But even if I'm doing everything your doing, I'm still very far from your sound. what audio interface are you using? I'm having a really hard time with all the amp sim.. but I don't know why. ( even when I use my Gibson and Schecter I have the same problem)

  • I have watched you for years and have always loved your tones. I remember watching several of your videos where you were using Marshall amps. Is there a reason why there isn't a Marshall included in here? Have you gravitated away from those amps?

  • The XXX was the first actual head I bought when I was jamming in my first band. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen one in sim form haha. I used to run a Zoom processor through it, but obviously the amp still shaped my tone. My cabs were 4x12s loaded with Celestine g12ts. I don’t know which g12 you used (exactly) for your ir here, but it probably sounds close. I already have way too many amp sims, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to end up with another one for nostalgia’s sake haha. I think the tone from this XXX sim is extremely unique as well and is something I’ve been missing anyway. Now if I can only get STL to refund me for the Tonehub I just bought on accident, I’ll spend the extra $20 to grab this Tonality instead ????????????‍♂️.

  • Out of all the commercial guitar tone releases out there, your stuff always ranks at or near the top for me. The tightness, aggressiveness, and overall thrashy vibe you naturally go for is exactly what I love in a guitar tone.

  • Oh guuuUUuys!!! I'm trying to put other IR's like: Bogren Digital Rhythm Downtuned & Kohle Signature Rainbows and Chainsaws and…
    IT'S AMAZING, THIS SOUND is striking in its aggressiveness and clarity, i really hope that they will be added as additional content with mic movement.
    Although it is unlikely, but in any case those IR's awesome.

  • A cool thing I like about the 5150 in this plugin is how it reacts to an HM-2/Swollen Pickle in front of the green channel exactly like my real 5150. I've had issues with other 5150 sims not really taking external pedals as well but this works like a charm!

  • Bro I have this plugin and ohhh my God it sounds like Godziller blowing his shnoz. ???? (in a good way)
