First thing I thought when testing out ReAxis was: "I want a TriAxis".

I think Mercuriall is at the top of Amp Modelling at the moment, but I hate to reconfigure every damn pedal, cab and such if I want to change an amp because they refuse to launch a proper guitar suite. This kills the creative workflow for me... So I tend to use their plugins only when mixing as final tracks, but rarely for jamming.

For jamming I still think S-Gear is the best, and it also has a more immediate picking response which makes it feel more like a real rig. I think that S-Gear 3.0 could dethrone Mercuriall... When it gets released in 2037 or something

I think the ultimate goal for us is to have a proper suite. It will take time, though.

By the way!
Just a kind reminder for those who wanted to get Spark with a discount - it's -33% off at the moment at www.mercuriall.com =)

 

Hi folks!

Small teaser =) I am testing an early version of our new product here.
Raw sound with no post-processing, as recorded by the phone camera. No boosts used in front of the plugin.

The modelling bar will be raised yet again! Stay tuned!

 

how about special discount for audiosex members ? :D

 

Hey!

This question has been raised here before - we do not have plans to offer special discounts to any specific forums/communities/groups. I am sure there will be a special release price. And if you have any of our other plugins, I am sure there will be a special price for existing customers as well =)

 

No offense intended, but If that's a hint as to what the modeling bar sounds like raised you must be listening to the wrong ones!

 

No worries =)
This clip is not supposed to represent the final product or final sound. It's a teaser video recorded through phone just to give a glimpse of what's going on.

We plan to publish a video with interesting hardware/software comparison to showcase the technical advancements we made.

But in the end, it's the community who decides what's good. We believe in our products and hope people will love it! =)

 

Hi everyone!

Awesome news - we've just announced a new product! SS-11X tube preamp emulation. Official emulation of AMT SS-11 tube preamps!





Mercuriall Audio, the pioneer of powering amp-sims with neural networks, is proud to present the newest product SS-11X, based on a tube preamp AMT SS-11 (versions A and B). Wonderful Fender®-style clean sound and powerful, roaring crunch and lead channels won’t leave you indifferent! The project is officially approved and supported by AMT Electronics, who supplied us with electric circuits, hardware prototypes and production 3D models. This gave us a possibility to model the SS-11X in extreme detail, making it virtually impossible to distinguish the sound difference between hardware or software. A live comparison video is on its way.


One of the aims of this project was to create a very simple and affordable software with friendly and attractive user interface, as well as lower system requirements.

Even though the main objective was modeling the preamp, we included some other important features. The SS-11X has a noise gate, a collection of overdrive pedals, cabinet IR loader, reverb IR loader and an option to choose the preamp tubes. This lets anyone create a solid guitar sound quickly and effortlessly within one simple window.


SS-11X opens a new chapter in the history of Mercuriall Audio - it is the first product where we use our brand new, cutting edge technology named Neural Hybrid Engine. It is a much more precise, flexible and faster method for modeling electric circuits. As the pioneers of integrating neural networks in amp sims, it took us 5 years of research and development to create the Neural Hybrid Engine and successfully build SS-11X using it. We also applied our tube curve tracer machine to make sure each tube model is unique, just as in real life.

• Autumn 2018

Guys and gals, prepare you ears: SS-11X and SS-11B live comparison video!
In this technical video we wanted to show what our Neural Hybrid Engine can do.

On the left you can see the real SS-11B preamp and SS-11X.
On the right you can see the level meter, spectrograph and oscilloscope. Green color is hardware and red is software. Green and red are always displayed, even though just one sample is played at a time. You can see how close the live signals are to each other (hardware/software).

Can you spot any difference in sound on your system? Let us know what you hear!

 

Hi....
New here. I've been trying mercuriall plugins and i'm very impressed. I see a very serious name on plugin modeling, and i believe we can expect great things from you. I heard a few comparisons on the SS-11x and the original pedal and the results are excellent. Kudos to you!.

As for a bit of background, i'm a musician with about 20 years playing, software developer and a good pair of ears.
Been a digitech user for many years, and saw a company that had great products, great name and prestige, drop the ball completely... the users they turned their back upon were right all along... they screwed up bigtime.

On what's going on today, let me explain some points that are still unresolved:
- Lack of full midi support for bank and program changes: a few programs have program change support. Amplitube and bias do. Yours is behind on that.
- True stereo sound: bias and amplitube are great for recording one guitar at a time and create a sound on studio. But for live situations stereo sound is thin and proper stereo imaging is seriously lacking. Reaxis, with chorus on full mix and zero chorus effect, can open up the sound and make it really usable live.
- Spillover: haven't seen any plug in that deals with spillover yet. When changing programs is a must to be able to hear delays and reverb (hardware modelers can do it)

Put that on the same package with your preamps, effects, power amps and speaker models (and ir loader), simple to configure, with the points explained above and midi controllable (think on a "nektar pacer" kind of controller). That's the basic idea of what everyone is expecting , and no one so far has done properly.

Well, that's my 2 cents and wish you the best so we can keep enjoying you products. Hopefully we'll see a soldano, a rocktron piranha or a ADA MP1 model some day.

Hi all!

We've got a giveaway going! Join if you'd like =)
https://gleam.io/REIb1/mercuriall-audio-plugin-giveaway

 

So the odds right now are 1 in 2600 with 8 days to go?

 

While the giveaway in itself is appreciated i never bother with these, you're supposed to do many things just to increase an improbable chance to begin with, and there is no clear way how the winners are picked or chosen... these are mainly designed to boost the company's name (something i don't have a problem with) but's it's all sketchy and not worth the almost no time it takes to do it. Random names picked on an instagram post or facebook post is way more appealing.

 

Not really. The total entries you see is the number of total "points" people have registered so far. By "points" I mean the amount of points people receive for doing this or that actions. For example, installing our iOS app gives 5 points. And so on.

Which means the amount of people registered is a lot less (than the total amount of points you see).

 

Once the entry windows closes, Gleam simply chooses random people based on their participation activity. It does not mean that the person who does more actions wins automatically.

Participation is not mandatory =) To some, it's a simple fun way to try their luck.
