I hope it's OK to post this content here in this thread  ....
 
A little while back I had ran a little experiment .
I took the Showcase CA -Amp Template from the older version before this new update and started a little song project ..
(my screen shot shows what amps I used )
At the time I was interested in trying out all the amp sims Craig had came up with .
I wound up playing my guitars out of most of the amps ...I think I missed 3 or 4 total ...
 
Anyway today I redeemed the new CA-X Amp sims . I figured the new content would update and replace the older content which it did ...
I had some time today to revisit my old project and use the new amp sims
Basically what I have here is my SONAR test project with many of the updated AMP Sims replacing the older amp sims ...
The project itself is very loose and primitive ...
I used all the dry sounds of the amps with out extra verbs or any of my typical sends or effects ...
 
A screen shot of the project .

I wound up bouncing everything to stems ...screen shot

Then I took this bounce / export and ran it through the SONAR Just a little louder template ...(no screen shot )
 
Be forewarned the tune itself is very primitive w lots flaws ...
I happen to like the way the guitars sound .... the guitars are Gibson Les Paul, An SG , a 7 string , a Strat and a Tele ...
 
 
The Genre of my clip is along the lines of Loud Hard Rock ...

30 new Amp Sim FX Chains that are now part of the 2017.08 update. 

G'day,
Will these work with out actually running Sonar 2017.08 core update, i.e., just downloading/installing amps in CCC.
 

I'm putting myself out on a limb . Anyway I hope someone enjoys the tones .

 
I did! Thanks Kenny, I'm going to have to have a play with these myself.

Oh man - this is exactly why I did these sims!!!! I wanted people to be able to just drag them in and wail. Wow, how very, very gratifying. I'm glad you're finding them rock-friendly, quite a few of them are.
 
You might also want to check out some of the clean ones. The Classic is kind of "twinnish," Sparkle and Clean make sounds I could never get out of "real" amps. I use these a lot with rhythm guitar parts.
 
Thank you so much for sharing the sounds you got. Really makes me feel like I can check off one of the goals of the CA-X amps, which is for other people to enjoy them. THANK YOU!!!

Great tones Kenny, sounds wonderful to my ears!

Thank you Craig for doing these cool presets.  It is going to be a fun few weeks pecking my way thru the set.
 
I am so glad to have you as part of the Sonar community and giving so much to Sonar users! 
 
Cheers.

Any recommendations (among your presets) for that "Santana, long sustained sound"? 

That would be sweet, and save a lot of signal processing time. Aside from having a loud Mesa Boogie amp, and being master of feedback control, and/or perhaps some kinda of looping sustain pedal, LOL, if your talking about processing recorded notes, I sometimes drag out a note in Melodyne to try and get longer sustain sound, not for a minute though, it gets a bit too distorted near end if too long (using a real guitar amp signal), I have also done multiple cut and pastes of notes in Melodyne, or even just in track, being careful to blend levels well at cross over points. But Id think if simulated in a VI anyway, you could just drag a note as long as you wanted? Or try real guitar sound with reasonable sustain, and continue note sustain with VI sound, Ive done this to simulate long feedback as well.
 
Otherwise Id like to ask, amongst the presets, is there one that best simulate's Boston's (Tom Scholz's) guitar sound?
 
Cheers

Hi Craig ,
Oh man , your new amps Sound Fantastic  .
Yes, I Love being able to see whats under the hood also . For me it is very educational to be able to see the individual components and effects w the settings you used to create each amp sim .  
I'm looking forward to playing out of The Classic and a number of the amps I haven't tried yet .
 
Regarding the tones I used on my clip , 
I found your amp sims to very responsive in a few very important areas .
I felt the sound was there for sure .The amps I used have Very warm sounds with lot's of Raw Power &  Ball's . 
Also ,while playing through your amp sims , I was able to feel the very elusive quality that even some of the top amp sims seem to lack . Your amp sims have that all important "Feel Factor " I need to feel when I'm playing ...
 
Thank You for Creating these highly custom amp sims and offering them to The SONAR Community
 
I'm certainly gonna use them for sure .
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
