but now that they've recently released their 100 'Official PG' Amp Match presets on the cloud, the majority of those presets are just click and go!.and probably the best presets I've ever heard from any software options available today. I used to say that if your a "preset" person who hates tweaking, bias isn't for you. I've owned bias for years now so that helps me, but for anyone just getting into it, be patient! The good part is (besides its sound capabilities), is that once you fully grasp what it takes to get the most out of it, it's clear sailing after that. With my purchase of bias amp 2 elite, I'm getting tones that were not previously obtainable in version 1, and though their still working the bugs out for all the platforms it's supported on, I consider it to be the most powerful set of tools offered in a plugin format.but it does take a bit more patience. Besides my issue with tightness, s-gear is still a killer plugin.and if bias amp wasn't available to me I'd surely use s-gear. Even when running drive pedal plugins before the two amp plugins in the chain to tighten things up, Bias Amp for me takes the gold and I've got it to sound so good (especially with Bias Amp2) that I often forget I'm playing software. With s-gear, I find it difficult to get the same solidity to the notes that I can with Bias Amp. I'll explain but please keep in mind that this is strictly my opinionįor me, I like a tight defined bottom end and when palm muting notes, whether for rhythm 'chug' or lead 'thud', I like it to sound solid, and that's for both clean or higher gain. But there are certain characteristics to the sound that bug me, and it's not the glorious cutting midrange for leads, or the warm, spanky clean tones it can 's the bottom end that I take issue with.
We have opened a discussion thread in the Pub section discussing this. We will include a very detailed password checklist.Ĭlick to expand.Don't get me wrong, as I like s-gear a lot and I think it's a great piece of software with a very intuitive UI.and it doesn't take long to get good tones.
We want to highly recommend that members turn on and use TGP's two-factor authentication option. We highly recommend every member reading this change their passwords as a precaution. We have forced email revalidation for all members that have not signed on for a while. None of the accounts compromised were using two-factor authentication. Talking to one member as I am working through getting his account back in order, he informed me that his Apple password manager had been compromised and made available on the dark web. In today's world, that is false confidence you can no longer afford.Įvery account that I've restored so far to the original owner was using compromised passwords. It is heartbreaking to see that the lure of saving some money will still fool people into using those methods to save a few dollars. Unfortunately, we cannot control how members do deals. However, the best way to prevent this is for members to exercise proper password hygiene (which I'll detail below), turn on two-factor authentication, and - I implore every single person here - only use payment methods that have buyer protection. We've made security changes that I don't want to detail here to stop them. They have scammed members in the Emporiums by creating ads with stolen photos and requesting Paypal F&F or Venmo exclusively for payment.
Some fraudsters have compromised TGP accounts have in the past few days.
