They literally said “here’s, like, every amp ever.” Even if you only have a dozen ‘daily driver’ tones, knowing that your Dual Rectifier could become a VOX AC30 in two or three clicks of a mouse is a pretty compelling sales pitch. With their guitar amp modeling, STL Tones weren’t fixated on the perfect Marshall JCM or Diezel VH4. And by now, every console from a Neve 8048 to the Mackie 8Bus (my god, I wish I were joking) have been clinically analyzed and put right in your VST hole.
Heck, maybe you’re like me and just use the one that’s already in your DAW’s mixer. I know what you’re thinking: You already have several channel strips. INTRODUCING CONTROL HUBĬontrolHub ($199 USD, VST3, AAX, AU) aims to do to your DAW’s workflow what their proprietary tracing technology has done for recording guitars. Having more-than-conquered the world of guitar, they’re making a bid to take over your entire DAW. So imagine my girly little squeal when I opened the electronic press kit for STL Tones’ newest innovation.
In the three or four years since ToneHub dropped, the folks at STL Tones have been steadily producing additional models and presets – from guitarists and producers like Rob Caggiano and Kurt Ballou to amp and speaker cabinet emulations including the PRS Archeon and the Soldano SLO100. Not just for ‘let’s use a plug-in’-type situations, either. As somebody who records a lot of guitars – not just for clients but my own projects – their ToneHub guitar amp modeling plug-in is the de facto choice.
It’s always a good day here at EverythingRecording when we hear from our friends over at STL Tones.
