Hey mate........how you checked out Strum Session from Applied Acoustics Systems?

Incredible how some free options are so close in quality as the paid one's, good to have a place like this to know about them, appreciate u mate!!!

I just bought my first sample based guitar plugin, Hellrazer from Amplesound (on sale). It did not dissapoint.

Always fun and interesting to watch your videos! 😀💛

I have the shreddage abyss and hydra.. theres no reason to look any further than those, theyre perfect!!!

The great plugin collections just keep comin'...can hardly keep up with
all of these splendid sounding choices...keep up the fine work Mr. Dixon

Great vid - Title should read something like ( for keyboards ) but I'm familiar with these and they are indeed great .... for keyboards not guitars

Great video! Love the way Ample Guitar sounds, but Im experiencing a slight delay when I play. Anyone else have this problem? (No delay when using any other plugins and I changed the start mode to 0 but still a very small delay)

MIDI is not a “luxury,” it’s essential. Without midi it’s not a VST, just a collection of samples
