I'm going to be completely honest here because I don't think I'll be of much use if I don't. Many effects can be added and of course you can customize the order of the effects etc.įeature-wise Bias FX has most things you'd probably want out of an all in one amp modeling/fx platform.īut now let's talk about the most important thing.
Of course they need to make money so I guess that's the main reason.īias FX allows for a dual amp setup and cool routing options. It does leave me wondering why they just couldn't do all of this in one plugin. That's why it's handy that you can import the edited amps. There are plenty of options in this program that lets you customize your amp tones.Īfter you 'made' your own amp you can also use it in Bias FX which I think is cool.Īs you may already know, Bias amp doesn't feature any effects, only the amps.īias FX on the other hand features many effects but it doesn't allow you to edit the amps. It's not unique but Bias amp seems to have it's own approach, or at least, it looks a little different. The whole concept of editing or designing your amps is a cool. I also picked up the metal pack for Bias FX since I love high gain tones so much. I decided to get Bias amp pro and Bias FX pro to get the full experience. I had never tried any of the Positive Grid amp modelers so I felt it was time to see what the fuss was all about. Up until a while ago I tried and owned many guitar amp modeling platforms including the Axe FX, Helix, Kemper and many more.

Or plug into your smartphone and capture inspiration on the move. Add tracks to full productions in a computer DAW. Via the IR-2’s USB-C connector, send the sound of your complete rig directly to music recording software.
And if you need more than one amp sound while performing, you can toggle between two IR-2 amp/cab setups with the pedal switch or an external footswitch. Sending a feed from the IR-2’s outputs to a house PA system provides a studio-quality signal that’s not affected by the performance environment.
Take the guesswork out of great stage sound and perform with consistent tones in every venue. Audio playback from a computer or mobile device is supported via USB-C, allowing you to jam with songs from your music library and follow along with lessons from YouTube and other sources. And prepare for upcoming shows with the same pedalboard setup you’ll use on stage. Adding the IR-2 to your pedalboard greatly expands its versatility, giving you a complete guitar sound solution everywhere you play.Ĭonnect headphones and enjoy top-quality guitar tones in every practice session, whether playing at home or traveling on the road.
