Great Video, What pickup height ,screw to string did you discover was the best

Any chance Mikko2 can be ported from macOS to iPad? Seems like that’s becoming a more and more viable platform for music making. I’d love to have it there

musicians dealing with an instruments = women and their purses= irrational :)

can you guys do a korn type ir pack?

What are the chances we get a Soldano SLO-100 amp sim?

What's the difference between 'real mic'ed cab' and IR? IR is real mic'ed cab too. Just in wav format. What do I am missing?

Just bought an AXE FX IIXL+ for $600. I have used a Kemper Stage for 2 years and love it but I want to try Fractal. I’m excited to try it out.

I said that I didnt see a reason to buy it, but a bought it hahahaha. Would be nice to see a snare pack recorded in the same room used to record grit, still.

I play an electric green, customized Stratocaster that I bought from the personal collection of a "gearhead" friend of mine. I had begun learning guitar months before, and he allowed me to play it to test out an amp I bought for the cheap Chenault-brand Strat knockoff that I was planning to repair. Long story short, I have since bought said Strat, which is likely the nicest guitar I will ever touch, and I am very grateful for the friend who made it all possible. I just wanted to share the story of that blessing here because it seemed appropriate!

Are we gonna see an update to include the new EL34 version?

Mainly an ESP/LTD "black beauty" (black/gold, full thickness, 22 frets) with Evertune. Great neck, and I know it's in tune when I pick it up for a quick recording session after the kids have fallen asleep. I could never play a signature guitar; I "hate" them especially if they have band logos and what not. I also own many other high-end guitars (Music Man, Fender, Gibson, high-end Ibanez, high-end Yamaha, and Strandberg) but rarely play them anymore because of the Evertune.

squier bullet hss, drop b tuning. It does the job for me!🤘

I like the speaker more, seems to really have that Orange-bite even though being a Zilla...?

I do raise the polepieces on the bridge side coil of the bridge humbucker just to get more output from this coil. this way both coils produce the exact same volume(I’ve got both coils splitable so I could measure it) and I find it helps to balance out the pickup overall, brings out more of that treble and mid overtones that the bridge coil picks up. just a way to get that characteristic more present

isn't ibanez guitars the most comfy?

this is just my idea, I have been using a lot of ml sound lab products for more than a year. That sounds so good. is it possible in the future, ml sound lab make free simple powerful IR loader, that has unique tools? blend, analyze, align, shape, saturate, multiband IR between frequency spectrum, and export IR (wave format). I really hope that idea happens, and created. *peace ✌😎 just sharing my own thoughts.

Vorna??

Both are awesome but yet i'd say that the real one have a bit throaty nature while the mikko2 is more aggressive but a bit boxy to my ear.maybe due to differents peakers. .but in real live or in mixes none would understand or care but will enjoy the music.

Real speaker for sure. Way less mid hump

Great sounding ir's.👍😎🎵🎶🎸

12:33 It's the Jordan Valeriote plugin :o

Real cab but better miced

Digital will never top pushing air through a real cab, plugin sounds dead, they are awsome, own several myself, but they can't compete with a real tube amp

I tried mikko 3d and compared to two notes sound very fizzy and like a static ir, i dont jnow if in doing sonething wrong or its just this the quality

I agree..both sound good but I think I like the Mikko2 more😀🤙

Two very different sounds. A blend of both would be good. IR for rhythm, Real for lead

Hello. I have a question about your company's CAB IR products. I'm curious about the difference between the general BOGNER IR and BOGNER UBER models, and the difference between MEGA OVERVERSIZE and MEGA TRA models. The characteristics of the sound

I use a machinist ruler to set my pickup height. If I change string height in any way, I adjust my pickup height.

Hello ML , i cant seen to figure out why i cant map and track response of both of my toms 1 and 2 to the software .... it is not responding to the input is there a way i can ?

I salute you for the work you ve done in drums! The sets are plug n play, and all of the adjustments are useful and right on. As a producer and player, the only thing I miss is something to adjust the velocity curve and a seperate level for the side stick sound, because sometimes it sound way lower than the snare. Is it possoble for it to be fixed in some future updates? Thanks!!!

I purchased the MOFO pack. These IRs have a distinctive character and bite, and I definitely recommend them. When I first heard the quiet guitars in the demo on the ML Sound Lab site, I thought it was some djent fashion that I just wasn't cool enough to understand 😭, but now I see that this was just to demo how well they cut through a mix.

Interesting video. I would point out a few things: *1) These are more or less comparisons across PAF style pickups. Even from the 1950s-1970s there was a great variation in PAF winds. So there is no "authentic" PAF.* Just the one the player likes. *If you try an overwound Alnico V PAF style pickup against a high output ceramic pickup vs. a low output Alnico II pickup, there will be differences.* *2) My favorite "PAF" I have tried in series is Gibson's 498t.* The 500t is brighter and thinner, and the Dirty Fingers is even more so. I tend to use hotter and brighter pickups for solos and melodies, while moderate output Alnico V pickups get rhythm tracks because there is more clarity and less high end on 4-6 rhythm tracks to cause ear fatigue. I often put low output Alnico IIs in the neck for warm clean tones and more expressive bends. Low wind, bright, ceramic magnet pickups might be in the neck if I want a bright clean tone like from a Roland JC120. *Pickups with a notable midrange scoop like the Seymour Duncan Custom 5 will be used for a more modern Mesa Boogie rock/metal tone, while a pickup with pronounced upper mids like the Gibson 498t will be used for a more vintage Marshall tone. These are both "PAF-inspired" pickups.* *3) Pickups sound different depending upon if they are wired in series/parallel/coil split/out of phase.* In my experience, Gibson pickups do not change in character very much when using different coil configurations. Using Seymour Duncan's Triple Shot pickup mounting rings with their Custom line, there is much more variation in tones. I have a Custom/Custom 5 BC Rich Mockingbird and I can get many sounds from that guitar. My Gibsons are really only useful in series. Different pickup combinations will sound different when out of phase due to varying comb filtering of frequencies, with some pairs having a more dramatic out of phase tone than others. *Again, results will depend upon each individual pickup manufacturer/model.* *4) Magnet strength, string gauge, and bridge type will determine ideal pickup height.* I normally use Floyd Rose bridges with active pickups. EMGs especially have a very low magnetic pull compared to something like a Gibson 500t, which is difficult to even solder a Triple Shot to because the strong 500t magnet will pull the soldering iron to the pickup. Floyd Rose bridges need room to move, so you have to make sure the strings are low but have full range of motion. Lower magnetic pull will permit closer action without killing sustain. Thicker strings will permit a fuller sound and can be adjusted slightly higher than thinner strings to get the same tone. String material also affects tone. *5) Ideal tone will depend upon musical genre.* Heavy metal prefers a tight low end, scooped lower mids, a pronounced upper midrange, and somewhat bright highs. *I agree that low to moderate output pickups retain clarity and dynamics and are best boosted by the amp. High output pickups are more compressed and darker without ceramic magnets but also cut through the mix. Generally, it is easier to boost a low output, bright pickup than to clean up a hot, dark pickup.* For this reason, I tend to avoid some pickups like Seymour Duncan Invaders, which to me are very hot and dark. *6) I would advise players to experiment with well known pickup models on the used market and go from there. These include the EMG 60/81, Seymour Duncan JB/Distortion/Jazz/59/Custom line, and DiMarzio Super Distortion/PAF Pro. As for Gibsons, I like the 498t/Classic 57 Plus, but the 500t/496r and Dirty Fingers/496r are common.* The market has become saturated with expensive custom shop pickup models from boutique winders over the past 10-15 years, often with only marginal improvements in sound quality. Pickups at or over $200 are ridiculous. *If you are unhappy with EMGs in 9 volts, try the 24 Volt Mod before moving on to more expensive and harder to find active pickups like Seymour Duncan Blackouts or Fishman Fluence pickups.* *7) Keep in mind that most Gibson factory pickups will be 2 conductor only with ground or shielded braid. Their aftermarket pickups are 4 conductor plus ground, with more modern pickups having a ground wire instead of a braided shield. Aftermarket Gibson pickups are also more expensive and more difficult to find on the used market than similar pickups by EMG, Seymour Duncan, and DiMarzio. To their credit, Gibson, like EMG's passive HZ line, has some modular plug and play pickups to make installation easier.* *If you want the basic EMG tone but with 4 conductor plus ground wiring possibilities, try the EMG HZ line. They are underrated. The active versions require special models or accessories for coil split/parallel/out of phase sounds. EMG accessories can only be run at 18 volts instead of 24.* *8) As the video pointed out, pickups are more about feel, which will affect how you play and dial in your sound and thus affect your tone.* I have 50-60 guitars and basses that I use for different things depending upon pickups. Because I play metal and need a brighter distorted tone, tone wood is really not an issue for me. Most guitars in this genre are black and so do not need expensive woods for intricate top finishes. Metal guitars are often made out of lighter and cheaper woods like alder, poplar, and basswood. Tone wood purists will say Floyd Rose bridges detract from the tone, but many licensed bridges use a light, cheap, iron/zinc sustain block instead of heavier brass like an Original Floyd Rose, Gotoh 1996t, or Schaller bridge. That said, for the genre, pickups/amp/boost pedal in front of the amp are very important. The way distortion saturates while maintaining clarity is key. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the demo and thoughts

Big thanks from a luthier that just stumbled upon this question after placing my bridge pickups TOO far back and getting a really tinny, too-bright-for-most sound

i dont

Which do yiu think is best in a FOH mix for cut and depth?

I play a Friedman cab on stage and now using the Captor X. Can i load this pack into the Captor and able to use the Captor mic placements or i have to choose from one of the mic placements in the pack? Thx!

I would love a reflex version of the Angr cab pack

Just bought the Mick77 to try with my Friedman IR-D. Pumped to explore!

Hi ,Thanks for the plugin for free trial but I could not run the program I installed it and made the related settings input&output are as audio interface voice test is working but the sound is uncabinet woul you please assist how can I run it

I don't understand the stigma around signature models. The way I see it you're basically getting someone elses custom guitar for a fraction of the cost of an actual custom model. I don't own one now but if one came along that had the right specs I'd definitely jump on it regardless of whose it was. Most pickups start off as signature models. I have two guitars loaded with Dimarzio Titans and one loaded with a Dimarzio illuminator, both signature pickups. I like the way they sound. Simple as that. Also the petrucci Jaz IIIs are the best picks ever made. I'm not even a huge DT fan either.

I got Epiphone SG VE, coz I love humbuckers and I picked the cherry finish. I play Metalcore, NU Metal and all sorts Metal things and sometimes, punk.

Yamaha pacifica and a few epiphones

I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.

I only play PRS SE Mark Holcomb guitars because in mid price range full fill every thing I need from a guitar. Amazing playability, top sound and they are the most inspiring guitars I had... I sold all other guitars Gibson standard (scale way too short), Ibanez sz320 (also too short scale), PRS SE Mark Tremonti (way too heavy and after many years I realized i just like les paul looks, not the playability and hardly reachable higher frets), PRS SE Custom 24 (also too short)

Played many guitars over the years, currently sticking to my newly bought Les Paul and an old Whale (kinda looks like a PRS double cut). Heavy guitars, nice necks (surprisingly slim ones, not huge "baseball bats") and tones that I love. Lately I wanted to have a Telecaster for the looks and tones, but hated the neck of the Player serie that I tried and they didn't have any higher end models so I didn't buy a Telecaster. (for now) So, for me : neck feel > tones > tuning stability > general look

Wait, isnt the truss rod supposed to be as long as the center line of the neck?

1993 Ibanez RG-320... 1998 Ibanez RG7421 7-String (neck and Tone)... Schecter Banshee Mach-7 FR S (amazing Guitar, Pickups, Sustainer, Neck)... Schecter C7 MS SLS Elite Multi Scale (Amazing Guitar, Pickups, Neck, fan frets) Ibanez RG9PB 9-String ( because i'm crazy like that)... also i will never own a Guitar with someone else's name on it. don't care who the artist is or how much i love them i just will not do it..

I love SGs but refuse to own a red or black one because I subconsciously worry that people are thinking "who does this guy think he is, Angus / Iommi?" 😅
