I've found the same problem, where the different models were completely identical. The only way I've found to access the different tones was to scroll through the factory presets then alter the settings to taste. I'm running Plug & Mix VSTs through Reaper 64-bit on a Windows 10 PC, if that helps. I must say that all of the Plug & Mix amp models are really enjoyable to my ears, especially the American Tweed, for my two cents.

yeah, same

Hello shake_puig,

Could you do a screenshot of the Analoger settings and send it to me at:

nick@dontcrack.com

Also the details of your system would help, the developers asked about that. Type of PC, OS, DAW, VST, AAX or AU?

Best Regards,

Nick

Hello LejonBrames,

CONTOUR - Switches on extra tone-shaping for added control. ( basically it switches in a different response curve that adds different frequencies )

Your harmonic analyzer shows no harmonic difference between the models, but your ears should tell you a different story. As I said there are subtle differences between the models selected that you can further change with the bass, middle, and treble to get the tone that suits your song.

That harmonic analyzer would show something very similar if you had all the amps at your disposition to test out as the heads and cabinets would show different EQ responses.

OFF means the tonestack is not active, like a bypass, but you can still play with the tone controls. If it distorts maybe the incoming level is too high?

Best Regards,

Nick

Hello LejonBrames,

I appreciate that the difference could be a bit subtle, but if one had the amps in question lined up to play with, I think the differences would be about the same.

The 'Prince tone' and 'AC-30' are quite different to the 'Twin Verb and Bass-man' which model two amps from the same family.

Same thing with the 'JMC-800' and the '2000 lead' who share the same heritage.

You can customise the tones of each by switching the cabinets and adding contour to the sound as well as dealing in as much bass, middle and high end you want.

Best Regards,

Nick

Hello LejonBrames,

We worked with the developers to put together plug-ins that were the best sounding tools for the studio.

Some of the developers have a large collection of 'vintage' gear that have become the reference for mixing as they have proved to be the essential tools for recording and mixing.

The Retro compressor has been modeled on the best sounding of those 'vintage' designs: Urei and DBX to have the 'analog warmth' that all those units are sought out for.

The Electro-Optical is based on those who used the 'optical' method of measuring the input like the Pultec, the Retro Limiter is a blend of the best 'retro' limiters that exist for that 'golden age' of studio effects.

UltraMaxit is a brickwall limiter that like a lot of 'maximizers' goes further than the original ones as software products can add an incredible amount to your average peak level.

Screamer yes is very similar to the 'stomp boxes' out there, but with a few more options.

Retro EQ does have an API 550A sound, but as I said it is a blend of the best sounding 'vintage' EQs.

Liquid Air-Q like Maag and some other high-end EQ who specialize in treating the ultra high-end to give 'air' to a sound.

Retro Filter is modelled on those retro 'vintage' filters that exist in the collection of our developers and they have quite a few in their personal studios.

Best Regards,

Nick
