Yup, it has all sorts of options like that and some fancy extra stuff you can do. You can have two heads and on each head have two channels on each head with different amps (so four heads actually) then send and blend to two different cabinets with the splitter and mixer. It's really crazy. Also when blending the channels on a single head it's not like traditional blending. It's some kind of weird fusing of the tones as opposed to just a volume blend. I'm not sure exactly what that means but it's in the manual and it does sound pretty cool.

Damnit!!!!


I had a couple hours thorough play with the TH2 Sonar version and.... I think I really like it!! The sounds sounded massive! Tried to compare it a little with GR4 (full version) and well... they are two completely different beasts. But I was surprised of how well the TH2 could treat the lower frequencies - they were extremely present and extermely tihgt! I started with Beepster's recipe for good sound a couple pages back and I had made a bunch of presets with variations a couple hours later. I found it really easy to get not only good, but great results. It actually sounded good when just pluging in my guitar and not do much to the plugin. 

So I want to spend $99 on the upgrade. If I will allow my self... Hmmm... I've spent a lot of cash on gear and other stuff lately but this one is hard to pass on. 

I also saw on the Overloud website that you can crossgrade from TH2 to Mark Studio II for $97, which is a bass amp sim I'm really keen on. I love the Mark amps. Combined they seem like a great bargain!

So what to do? 

I used my Viper-50  tuned to B and an old heap of an Ephiphone tuned to standard E. Both sounded great. Even my Ukulele got some decent sounds when miced up through the TH2. 

GR4 have some pretty far fetched effects so I can't stop using it, but a combination of these two amp sims would be cool. 

I got to see the lady at the bank...


BTW - the DeEsser trick was quite cool. 

  Oh boy, I had no idea how many more models and FX there were. Gosh, I can already feel the 99 bucks draining from my PP account........

Well, until someone posts an awesome guitar-laden track that sounds awesome with TH2, I am calling ultra-mega-bull-sheet on it. Sorry.  PROVE me wrong!

Yeesh, I'm working on it dude. I screwed up the timing on my "drum" track so getting everything tight has been a chore. Besides I'm taking my time on this one because I want to get it right production wise so I can move on to a different genre of music (I'm setting up templates for my albums). But that's beside the point, if you don't like TH2 you don't like it. We're not lying when we say we do. Sound is very subjective. I like the realism of it. Perhaps you enjoy more of a modern processed tone which GR provides. I like GR5 and I'll still use it for certain things but it was kind of a bear to work with and I spent more time tweaking than I did playing. Now not to get heavy here but I do not like being called a liar. In my opinion it is a very very nice program and I'm pleased as punch it was included with X2. That is fact. Cheers.

Boop.

Wouldn't it be more useful if you see for youself? Download the demo, it either works for you or it doesn't. It really does not matter what someone else can do.

I have, and no it doesn't work for me. What I want to see, especially from Beepster, is what is so awesome about it.


Just want to hear what people are doing with it on the off chance that I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue. Otherwise, I've made my opinion quite clear on the subject.

So, DL'ed the full demo, yeah it's great........blah blah. What is the deal with the recabinet "demos?" I have recabinet, is it somehow integrated? I

Oh, silly me, forgot there is an "impulse" cab loader. There goes fizzy bye-bye :D Now, I just gotta get some more IR's!

There are a bunch of Ir's available on line. I downloaded a few to try. When I upgraded to Sonar X2 I bought the box set with the DVD's. Once I finished testing everything I reformatted my hard drive and installed windows 7.


When it came time to setup Sonar x2 I used the box set. On the first install DVD there is an option to explore disk. I clicked on it and began to look around. I found a whole pile of IR's on the first install DVD.


This is another reason I like to get the backup DVDs. Some are great for Perfect Space and Some are really good for TH2. What a great little hidden feature on that box set.

Just started mapping out my leads. Sorry but I had to fix my drum parts and tighten the rhythm guits and bass back up. Also had to take some time to do self maintenance (laundry ain't gonna do itself... no matter how much I yell at it) and work on another track for a different project. Blah blah excuses excuses I know. However I just wanted to say that the settings I had for my rhythm parts weren't working so well for leads. The gate was cutting out the sweet stuff and it was all kind of crackly and meh so I tweaked things a bit but still kept the general settings. Just playing through it kind of sucked but for some reason listening back to anything I recorded with the new settings was SICK. It'll need some extra tweaking during mixing but I'm still quite happy with how it's all working out rather effortlessly. Might take me a couple days to write and track the leads but it's turning into a very cool sounding tune. Just thought I'd let you guys know that I haven't forgotten or flaked out on it. Cheers.

I did not get the videos when I upgraded from 8.5 to the X1 Suite. So you did get a freebie with your purchase or I got burned.

I think there might have been two different offers regarding the videos and it depends on the time frame of your purchase. I got the videos shortly after they were released. It is good you got them beep, There is a lot of good info in there. The second one is my favorite.

Thanks man. lolz though, because they are the best sounds cab impulsed :) Recabinet is the best though, nothing feels more like a real amp

That's great to hear, thanks so much, guys!

After all the placebo blurp over this and buying it, I'd like to reiterate that TH2 PLUS Recabient is about as good as it gets. I have all the sims (lolz) but there are some things about TH2's heads that are really great (especially the T2, the Lynchbox, and the taxi drive) So, for those thinking about upgrading, it's pretty good, but the THD and T2 included in the "producer" are really good, other stuff can be hit/miss, and you REALLY REALLY should get recabinet regardless :D
