@@GarrettJPeters it's too bad they don't have bias fx 2 app for android users. I'm still confused as to how you output the sound? Can you only connect headphones to a computer or to a mobile phone? What if you want to play along with your favorite songs and want the sound to fill a medium size room? Also, do you know if the tonecloud in the spark app is the same tonecloud that's in the bias fx 2? Thanks
Finally! A demo of this thing by a real player who has chops but doesn't just djent djent djent djent endlessly. The whole 'heavier than thou' thing is getting so old. Great to hear this played by a metal player who plays in the style that I love. Thanks man!
@@GarrettJPeters No problem dude. You're a killer player. And I appreciate all your demos...very in depth and thorough. I would like to see you try the amp match feature in Bias Amp. Not sure if Bias FX can do that.
Thanks a lot for uploading this. For someone who didn't know anything about this program, this was very informative and to the point. I'm so stoked I have this program. No joke, its making me fall in love with the guitar all over again. I haven't soloed for 10 min. straight in years haha. Gives me so much confidence and inspiration to start writing and recording again. Cheers!

After having this program for a few weeks now I realize it's by far the best amp sim on the market. I was beta testing it back in January but didn't realize what it was capable of back then. Considering using for my live rig with pod HD as an interface and midi controller now.
@@GarrettJPeters thinking about doing some reviews since I have the STL Putney and Fortin amp sims. Wanted to ask you what do you think the best route is for recording screen and guitars at the same time. Do you use QuickTime and then record the audio into the DAW at the same time?
@@shaynestilllife That's awesome dude! I'm not quite sure what's the best route though. I use my OBS streamlabs to record it (don't ask me why :P) It seems to do the trick. I then record my audio in my daw and sync it later (which might be unnecessary). One tip though, It's important to make sure your screen capture is in the same sample rate as your daw. I made that mistake once :P
Hey, I don't play metal or listen to it, but I enjoyed your review very much. You have a great presentation personality. You touched on the cool feature of the looper that most people don't mention - that you can record a loop and tweak your rig against it - with no guitar. It's actually recorded completely clean, so you can apply any effect or profile against it without even picking up your guitar again.
Pretty good video! thank you for taking the time! i didn't know this. i am one of the old fellas that still uses analogue pedals!! i will give it a try! thanks again!
So glad I found this video,every other review was exactly the same as the one before but yours showed me what I needed to see...that harmonizer sold me on it and will be buying it this weekend...BTW you are an Amazing guitarist...
I'm only just 'discovering' you-fantastic presentation. Personality and content. Nice job. I'm subscribing, even though i don't think our musical tastes are in total sync. That's how good this video is.
FYI you have to buy the "Metal Pack" in order to get his preset($79). Even if I already have the elite version of the Bias Fx2 it is locked until you buy that "pack"
Exactly! I have elite and ran into that too. Garrett, can you upload a preset to Tonecloud that doesn't require the "metal pack", which BTW isn't even in the Positive Grid store.
This is the best and most detailed video breaking down the Bias FX 2, on the internet. Thanks a lot for this, Garrett! Learnt a whole bunch. Liked and subbed!
@@13Hard then you’re gonna like this short demo too of probably my all time favorite metal song, Vitalism Pagan, done with BIAS FX 2: ua-cam.com/video/YbS4HTIDn5U/v-deo.html
At first I didn't hear a difference from bias fx 2 and bias fx because I had the bias amp 2 inside bias fx already. Because of this video I started messing with bias fx 2 again and have to say it's really great. I used some Celestion IRs different from the one you can buy from positive grid and they really were the game changer for me. Getting tones as good as Fortin Neural DSP now but more versatility that the one trick pony Fortin is for djent.
Much appreciated for the full demo! I just picked up bias fx and am trying to figure it out. I was running amplitube but, wanted a change of scenery and sounds.
Thank you very much. Your review made my mind. Purchased BIAS FX2 elite and it sounds exaclty as on your demo. NOTE!!! You will need BIAS FX Elite + Metal pack to be able to sound as Garrett!!!!!
So much power, but so easy. Thanks, Garrett, for this excellent video! I haven't played electric in years, but this could be enough to convince me to get back into it!
I'm 67 & have played off & on as a hobbyist, or bedroom player for many years. I got back into playing again about six months ago and for some reason, I've really been getting into. I've been exploring my options other than traditional guitar/amp setup & this has pretty much convinced me to try it. I hope you do get back into it as it can be such a rewarding experience, mentally & emotionally speaking.
Great video brotha! Learned some more things about this program to try. Very informative and straight to the point of things I wanted to know. Thank you for taking the time to make this video to share with all of us!
have my shure 57 setup, scarlett red solo, and the same settings. not getting the same tone at all, let me know if you'd have an idea what's wrong. thanks
This is with out doubt the best and most instructive video I have seen on FX2 Absolutely brilliant I have been struggling to navigate Fx2 First plug-in program I have ever used and only had a few days. This has been absolutely invaluable to me. Thanks for sharing 👍💯😎
Hey Gerrett Great video. You made this so simple. I was looking at getting into a pc amp simulator, and trying to figure out which one to purchase that wasn't to difficult to navigate through that had a bunch of options and was half way decent. I'm sold. Thanks again for taking the time to make this exceptional video for us nubies!
@@GarrettJPeters What are good output speakers to run this amp sim? Studio monitors would not work well I would think. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
How are you doing Gerrett? I bought the Bias fx2 ultimate package, had a few issues getting it to run smoothly. Also picked up a couple headrush frfr sounds amazing. My question to you is I loose my touch screen with the desktop and was wondering what differences between the ios ipad top version (I forgot the package name) with amps and effects would I lose? I seen you had the ios iphone version on another video you did. I don't know if that's the same. Any info I would appreciate? Thanks and keep shredding!
Definitely the BEST bias video on youtube. Super chill dude too that can actually play. Someone please answer a question for me. I'm wanting to try this out and also in a live setting. Other than a laptop , audio interface , bias fx and my amplifier , what else do I need ? And any advice on the signal chain to get it all hooked up? Thanks , u apologize , I'm new to this.
Holy shit, thanks for the video man, I just got it on sale during Christmas and I was a bit overwhelmed with all the shit it had. Thanks for breaking down some of the stuff :)
Garrett, I just got the Bias FX 2 mobile version, and, after seeing your video on that, and then this one, you gained a new subscriber. Like a comment before said, I’m happy to see a guitarist who seems to be more of a melodic player and less of, like, a djent guy, even if I’m more of a thrash and glam metal guy (sue me if you want, I don’t care. I love bands like Warrant and Poison as much as I love Metallica) and not, y’know, power metal, which was the vibe I got from your playing. 😂😂

Looking forward to more vids from you !!! Totally awesomeness
I used a Roland keyboard amp for guitar, apparently keyboard amps are Full range, they have a bass and tweeter to be able to play all the notes on an 88 key, it does sound very cool.
Geez, nicely done, even though this one's old. So, this was the standalone app. I always wondered how the latency wa s on apps like this. Seemed like it was responding to your input quickly, love to know how the feel was though.
your hair is long and your heart is pure and your shred is gnar

Are you using monitor speakers to play or amp and cabs?
@@ShutupnonsenseHave you figured it out yet?

Hey garret do you have to let the bias fx know what key your in for it to create a harmony or will it automatically track it
Best bias fx2 demo. Keep it up!
The intro with silent revelation 🤘🤘🤘🤘
A very great demo of the possibility, thank you very much for this video

This seems absolutely amazing to me. Thanks for the demo.
You rock Garrett!
The in-built presets can be a little underwhelming. But the ground-up customisation of sounds is incredible.
Still use BFX2 with Bias Pedal, and the metal pack and I absolutely love it. Even though it crashes Ableton occasionally lol. So much diversity

Bias fx 2 has a lot of problems setting up with PC. I get thyis feedback whistle. Check the internet. A lot report the whistle?
