    I own 3 Friedman heads. The Smallbox, DS40 and BE-100 Deluxe. I’ll say the plugin is good but is way noisier (somehow) and generally more fizzier than my actual BE-100. It’s also much darker with the same settings but maybe that’s just my monitors? I think for the price it’s not bad compared to a real Friedman but I don’t really think you can compare them.

    As a Plugin Alliance costumer I have to say that they fallen behind some of the other offerings in the market. I like their amp sims and they are very CPU efficient but they don't sound as good as Neural DSP or Mercuriall. Nembrini plugins are better than the older PA plugs he did. I hope they can improve the sound and feel of their offerings in the future if they want to remain relevant. Neural DSP is killing it in the VST world.

      You are correct what you say about alliance and neural dsp or mercuriall.
      But the funny thing is that Ignite Amps emissary 2.0 if you know how to use it in the right way, it's better than neural and mercuriall, and it's "FREE".
      You can easily do the test, simply use the Nadir, load the same IR with a guitar DI track, then use neural dsp and mercuriall with settings to 12 o'clock.
      In the emissary use the input gain knob from the bottom left and leave it 2x or all to the right, then use the resample mode at 4x, activate the switch of the amp that says shape and bright leaving the rest at 12 o'clock.
      I assure you that after doing this test they will all sound so similar, that in the end it will not be worth spending 100 USD on any plugin of neural or mercuriall.
      The tone is 80% IR so with ignite amp you can get the one you want, without spending thousands of dollars on a kemper or Ax FX lll.

      Buy a power soak with matching impendence to the cab output of your head and roughly 200% your amp's power output (although the same amout of watts is ok most of the times, just don't overdue with the master knob). Hook it up to the amp using a power cable. Connect the output of the power soak to your interface and set its preamp to line mode. Gain stage the preamp and you're good to go

    Glenn, I think you should always bring a 6 string guitar as well to your demos, maybe tuned to D standard and riff it out. Also, I think that in this demo there's a tad too much top end cut and we're not getting the complete brightness of the amp's sound in this video.

      You are correct about what you say of neural dsp.
      But the funny thing is that Ignite Amps emissary 2.0 if you know how to use it in the right way, it's better than neural and mercuriall, and it's FREE. "
      You can easily do the test, simply use the Nadir, load the same IR with a guitar DI track, then use neural dsp with settings to 12 o'clock.
      In the emissary use the input gain knob from the bottom left and leave it 2x or all to the right, then use the resample mode at 4x, activate the switch of the amp that says shape and bright leaving the rest at 12 o'clock.
      I assure you that after doing this test they will all sound so similar, that in the end it will not be worth spending 100 USD on any plugin of neural.
      The tone is 80% IR so with ignite amp you can get the one you want, without spending thousands of dollars on a kemper or Ax FX lll.
