Certainly! There's nothing special about the plug-ins i'm using here, they are just what I use on a regular basis. I do think PolychromeDSP has a slight edge over any other plug-in suite available right now, but I would still say it's in the same tier quality-wise as most of the mainstream plug-ins like NeuralDSP, Positive Grid/BIAS, Audio Assault Amps (like the Berry Amp) and Guitar Rig too. Obviously I haven't tried every single plug-in out there so there could definitely be more that belong in that group. I did try TH-U awhile back and personally didn't find it to be as good quality though. However any plug-ins you already have are worth experimenting with and combining to see if you can get a good sound you like.
I havent run into any phase issues yet running plugins, but I do know if you do the duplicate+nudge trick you can run into phase issues. Personally i've only dealt with phase when using multiple microphones on one real amp, so my knowledge there is a bit limited
i am 100% here for this series
The Polychrome DSP McRocklin 1.5 is so good.
Cool video thank you. One question: are these amp plugins any better than Guitar Rig, TH-U, etc? Would be nice if you could explain it a little.

If the only difference between tracks besides tone is latency, wouldn't that create phase issues?
