As an ‘analog delay’, I would definitely reach for something else first. I don’t see how it’s particularly analog sounding other than the saturation sound and the ‘warping’ sound you can get when you change the speed.Īs a delay plugin, its useful. Most of the time I am ok using Ampire to cut a track and then I would rather switch out to another amp sim for mixdown. Ampire does do some passable heavy and grindy sounds, but I would definitely reach for something else first. I primarily use crunchy guitar tones, and clean tones. The included ‘stomps’ are not exactly fantastic, but they are useable. You can use your own cab IRs, and the amp models are quite usable.

So here’s how I feel about all of the built in effects in Studio One ContentsĪmpire is probably the best guitar sim overall I’ve used yet in a DAW. There’s something better regardless of your platform that is cheap or free.Ĥ-6: This is probably replaceable by something relatively expensive or it is marginally useful because of some unique feature or integration.ħ-9: I would use this at any reasonable opportunity. I won’t be covering the presets, samples or loops, since I never use those.Īs the scale you see indicates, this is what the ratings mean:ġ-3: I would never use this in a project.

In this post I’m going to evaluate all of the included effects and instruments in Studio One.
