Working hard on content for the @audioassault_mx Duality Bass Studio plugin with the NEW and FREE @audioritysound L12X Solid State Amp Sim supplying the other half of the equation. What a great combination, I really like both of these plugins. Look for a four-pack of videos this week on our YouTube. I'll be using this Fender MIM Tele with an @emgpickups 81X for two of the tracks. Oh the fun of modding MIMs!! www.honestampsimreviews.com #honestampsimreviews #themodestguitarist #Audiority #audiorityl12x #audioassault #dualitybassstudio #ampsim #bassampsimulator #valvestate8100 #marshalllead12 #punkguitar #metalguitarist #homerecordingmetal #homerecordingstudio #fendertelecaster #fendermim #emgartist #emg81x #emgpickups #emgactivepickups #cockosreaper #guitarlife #homestudio #modifiedtelecaster #modifiedguitars #diypickupinstall
NEW FREEWARE ALERT!! Folks this is the Audiority L12X and after a ton of testing, I have to say, it's the most versatile freeware amp sim on the market. It's modeled from a vet unlikely subject in the Marshall Lead 12 but in plugin form it sounds monstrous. It really reminds me of the old valvestate series. The plugin involves a stock version and a custom designed "boost mod" for those that want more gain. It's armed with a single 412 IR blend from @seacowcabs that can be very handy but it does have a clear and easy bypass when needed. I have tried this plugin with every pedal plugin imaginable to create everything from crushing high gain to crystal clean and effect driven atmospheres. If this is a sign of things to come from @audioritysound, count me in as extremely interested. What say you @leon_ragdoll ? www.honestampsimreviews.com #honestampsimreviews #Audiority #audiorityl12x #l12x #Marshallplugin #marshallamps #Marshallsoftware #Marshallvst #Marshalltone #marshallvalvestate #valvestate8100 #marshalllead12 #ampsimulation #ampsim #guitarvst #guitarlife #guitargeartalk #gearybusey #freeware #freewareampsim #homerecordingmetal #homerecordingstudio #homerecording
REPOST From @espguitars. The new @nergal69 signature model is so sick! Not what I would have guessed but wow this thing is RAD!!

REPOST: Hot Damn... How I wish my guitar wall looked like this and I also wish I could be there. So much awesomeness I display at the Ormsby Guitars booth! If you're at NAMM, please do head over to their digs at booth 2842 to try out one of these awe-inspiring instruments. So proud to be an Ormsby artist, knock em dead Ormsbros!!! www.honestampsimreviews.com #honestampsimreviews #guitarlife #guitarporn #guitaroftheday #guitarsofinstagram #guitarist #guitargeartalk #guitargear #guitaristsunite #guitaristofinstagram #guitarstagram #ormsbyartist #ormsbygtr #ormsbyguitars #ormsbynamm #namm2020 #namm @ormsbyguitars
The GAS is so very real. I am very proud to call myself an Ormsby artist. The craftsmanship, design, artist relations and more has all been so impressive. Wish I could be at winter NAMM but it's not in the cards this year. Doing a much better job in my stead will be @bvanhoosen @simonmedz and @evilkell. I can't wait to see what else @ormsbyguitars has is store and I really can't wait to check out the GTX line. www.honestampsimreviews.com #honestampsimreviews #ormsby #ormsbyartist #ormsbyguitars #ormsbyfam #Ormsby #namm2020 #winternamm #guitarlife #guitarporn #guitarsofinstagram #instagramguitar #guitaroftheday
