- STL ToneHub in 2023
I take STL ToneHub for a spin and compare it against STL AmpHub as well as see how it holds up in 2023.
I think ToneHub is perfect for someone mixing guitars and who just wants high quality unique guitar tones that will sit well in a mix
Whereas I think AmpHub can ALSO be used for album tones, but as well as for general riffing and practice. It's more of a guitarists toy chest as opposed to just getting a finished tone and calling it a day.

I've always thought STL ToneHub was a kemper inside your DAW. Now we have things like ToneX, NAM, Aida etc etc but ToneHub still has something the rest dont.... and thats the fact that these tones are curated by the likes of Will Putney, Sam Pura, Andrew Wade, Mark Lewis, Brian Hood, Beau Burchell etc etc... Pro Mix Engineers and high tier guitarists... not just a random pit of profiles, these are high quality stuff!
If you have any gear or software demos you want me to take a look at just comment or email and I can chuck it on my list.
Thanks for watching!

Excellent Channel! Keep ‘em coming man!
What do you use for drums, love it
It’s the prog foundry kit from superior drum 3
How does this work? I am new to this. Do i run a special adaptor from my pc to my amp? Where do i plug my guitar please?
You need an “audio interface”. They plug into your computer via usb and you plug your guitar into the interface with a guitar cable
I’ve just started making UA-cam guitar covers and I’m very new to presets etc I was wondering what you’d recommend for me to purchase to get specific tones for my guitar ? For individual songs etc
I wish I could answer that question simply but it really depends how much time and effort you’re willing to spend obsessing about the tone…. Or do you just want a ballpark? Are you doing mixes from scratch or just playing on top of existing mixes?
I think amphub is still a better subscription than tonehub. Tonehub to me is mix ready tones but geared towards people making mixes looking for unique mix ready tones crafted by pros. It’s kind of a specific subset of people. At least with amphub you’ve got a lot of amps fx and cabs to craft your own, kind of like a fractal unit or helix. None of this really matters towards getting specific tones, I’m just talking generally on tonehub vs amphub.
If you join the discord it might be easier to ask questions and figure out a good approach without blowing a ton of $$$. Also I’m working on a video on how to clone your own tones so impressive timing someone would be asking this now 👌
@@ampspedalspickups first off thank you for taking the time to reply so fast 😅 I’m currently just using GarageBand as my DAW and using already mixed drums vocals bass etc from UA-cam converter and then playing along to it and uploading to my UA-cam channel. Just looking into what’s best to go for on STL tones for just getting the tone for the guitar which I’ll be playing so it matches the same guitar parts on songs I’m covering.
@Jake.Andrewsmusic Gotcha! The traditional approach would be to have a bunch of amps available, use your ears and experience to choose the best ones and then dial in the tones... with enough experience (years) this can definitely yield results.
The method I'm going to do a video about is basically taking an EQ snapshot of the original guitar stems and then making your guitar/amp sound exactly like those. This way there's no guessing its 95-99% done. The best part about this method is that you can use any amp sim free or paid because the matching does the lifting.
If you want to get started checkout ML Roots and Ignite Emissary, they're both free rock/metal amps. If you want to dip your toes into tonematched IRs then checkout JZIR, he is basically doing my cloning method as well and he also has videos doing it his way
I know this is a lot of info but to recap... if you just want to clone an amp then free amp --> clone IR and you're done for the "amp sound".
Where something like a STL Amphub subscription comes in handy is even if I clone a Nirvana tone I still need a chorus pedal... RATM song needs wah pedals etc etc and AmpHub has tons of pedals. Also if you're using a free rock/metal amp and trying to clone a john mayer tone you might want to use an amp that suits it a bit more, and having 40 amps to choose from is better than just one or two free ones etc. You don't "need" Amphub but the options are good.
If you're literally just going to cover a bunch of slipknot, foo fighters, deftones etc then the free amps will do the trick with the matching stuff.
But yeah its a big topic and ironically I'll do a video on this in the next week or two, too much to type haha
@@ampspedalspickups thank you very much man really appreciate your time. I’ll possibly try out the amphub route for now and possibly just try the other methods you’re suggesting also.
Were the riff experiments in drop C#?
The red SG in the examples is in c# but the white guitar for the vid is in drop D
@@ampspedalspickups Ah ok! Sounds killer though
if i could pitch in a recommendation, could you make a video on Milkman Creamer by Mixwave?
Man that amp looks awesome I watched a video or two. I won’t do it any justice playing punk and hardcore through it 🤣
@@ampspedalspickups ha ha, as a hardcore player myself who doesn't even own a single coil, I'd be more than happy to own a clean amp sim, if it sounds as good as advertised. I have a feeling you could do justice to it whenever you get to try it out 😉
When I buy this plug-in, I get presets for every artist on the label, right?
If you do the subscription you get everything. If you buy it outright you need to buy the player and individual packs
Would you say these tones are mix ready??
They’re more mix ready than amp faithful imo. They can sound a bit wonky playing in solo but sound better in a mix
Didn't use Jason Suecof presets at all, smh....
Gotta leave the people wanting more 😆
What a dunce move, his pack is one of the best, rip.
Eh buddy wats the difference between this and amp hub? Wat do u like better
Tonehub is packs and packs of captures
Amphub is fully modelled amps
I prefer amphub, more like using amps and a lot more latitude…. Tonehub would be better if you wanted an ultra specific sound that someone else has dialled in
@@ampspedalspickupsthanx man gonna try it out , still chasing tone git the fm3 still can’t nail the tone I’m looking for
Eh buddy just a quick question if u do the subscription thing monthly do you get every artist pack? Or do u still have to buy some?
@@billhinsperger8120 you get it all on the subs... its annoying but the best way to do it unfortunately. They generally do a couple sales a year for annual. I think I got mine for $80-$90 if I remember right.
promo sm 😉
