Hi everyone!

I have not found a general thread discussing Mercuriall plugins - hope it is fine to have one here. I am a PR representative in Mercuriall and will update this thread with fresh news, special deals and product reviews.
Feel free to post questions, thoughts and ideas and I will do my best to answer here.

You can check out our free products here: www.mercuriall.com/cms/details_freestuff

The only paid product we currently have is U530, an emulation of ENGL E530: www.mercuriall.com/cms/details_u530

Here are some links for U530 reviews:

My humble take

 

The latest news:

We have released free Mercuriall Tubes Creamer 808 Core for Mac OS X and Windows in AU, VST and AAX plugin formats. It is FREE - no reason to wait, grab it from www.mercuriall.com!
To celebrate this, we are discounting Tube Amp Ultra 530 to $39,99 (save $20) - get it here: www.mercuriall.com/cms/details_u530.

Tubes Creamer 808 Core features:
- The modeling is based on a real circuit of the Ibanez TS-808.
- Mod switch: "808" for a default sound of the Ibanez TS-808 and "Mod" for getting a cleaner sound with slightly more bass when "Drive" is at the minimum.
- Low CPU usage.
- Stereo and Mono modes.
- Low (no oversampling) and High (4x oversampling) Quality switch.

 

Here are some comparison samples between "the real thing" and our emulation. Sounds darn close to my ears! =)

@Barmaleus Hello and Welcome to AudioSex.pro. Glad to have you here! Thanks for the Info on your Products and We appreciate you keeping us up to update on your products here.

 

@ned944 Thanks a lot!

Here are two video reviews of Tubes Creamer - metal and... not metal

 

The Tubes Creamer works great, however, the 64 bit VSTS of the amps crashed my DAWs; Studio One and Reaper.

 

Oh, that's strange =(

Which amps exactly? And what is your OS/specs?

 

The free amps. OS is Windows 7 64, quad core, 4 processors and 8 gigs of RAM.

 

Thank very, very much for the "Tubes Creamer." I had just been wishing that I had one, either for-real or virtual, and the next day, yours appeared. The tube-amp emulations are cool, too – sometimes I just want a good warm, distorted tone and I'm feeling too punk-rock to deal with Guitar Rig.

 

@Tsargoth Hmmm, interesting. I will check with the guys, maybe someone knows what may be wrong. Though, we have not received such complaints recently.

@stevitch You are welcome! Good timing for you :D

 

I tried using jBridge with the 32 bit versions and they worked without crashing my DAWs.
I would much prefer to have the 64 bit versions to work.
Peace.

 

@Tsargoth
Hey man,
Just to double check - did you also copy the folder along with the dll to your VST folder?

 

@Barmaleus, yes of course. I'm a "newbie" on this site but have been recording since the days of analog in the 70's.

 

@Tsargoth Understood! Just double checked =)
I tried to download those free plugins, put the dll and the extra folder into VST folder and Reaper gave error.
I suspect it is JCM800. Other ones are working fine. Could you try to delete the free plugins, rescan your VST folder, then add them again except for the JCM800 (the Hot version should be fine). Please let me know what happens.

 

Jcm800 hot default settings sounds so fucking warm.

 

@Barmaleus I tried that doing them one at a time to see if it was only one of them causing the DAW crashes. No dice.
Love the Tubes Creamer, just wish I could get the 64 bit versions of the amps/preamps to work.

 

@daniel88v8 Glad you liked it! Was it a 64 bit version that you tried?

@Tsargoth Understood. Really no idea at the moment, very strange. We are so busy with the Project Spark right now, hope someone will find time to look into those issues =(

 

@Tsargoth I tried again today and all free plugins worked for me. Here is what I did:

1. Deleted "problematic" free plugins (800, 800 Hot and Harlequin) and their additional folders from the VST folder
2. In Reaper Preferences > Plugins > VST, I did "Clear cache/rescan"
3. Downloaded files from www.mercuriall.com again and added them to the VST folder (dll + extra folders)

After that, all of these plugins worked - no crashes. Perhaps this helps!

 

The Tubes Creamer sounds great (I tried it). Can anyone recommend me a GOOD free clean amp emulating VST to work with the TSC?

 

By the way!
Kind reminder =)
