PG has also included new Cabinet/Mic combinations, with some Celestion IRs included as. Sounds like a nice feature that gives us players plenty of added choices. Positive Grid says it now ships with 100 new amp model designs that use their new Dynamic Amp Engine. This gives you even more control over your tone, letting get even closer to legendary amp sounds with less effort. If it is as great as they claim, it could make the BIAS FX experience a lot better. BIAS Amp 2 Elite's cabinet module has also been given a refresh, with new Open- and Closed-back cabinet emulations that allow you to authentically re-create the low and low-mid frequency response typical of each enclosure type. Combining a dynamic mic pointed at the speaker dust cap (which captures tons of crispy treble and deep bass) with a condenser aimed in between the dust cap and the surround (less highs and more mids) gives you a tone that's fuller and rounder than either of those mics used alone. Positive Grid added this functionality to BIAS Amp 2 so you can use multiple mics on the same cabinet and mix them together. Recording engineers, more often then not, multi-mic guitar amps, and many legendary guitar sounds were recorded this way. Still, it would be nice if Bias Amp 2 did include some effects, even if-like the amps in Bias FX-they were just preset (front-panel controls only) models.

There is a level of integration between Bias FX and Bias Amp 2-you can load Bias FX’s amps into Bias Amp 2 for customization, and then bring them back into FX to play, using them in a full amp->fx chain there.

So FX is more of a player’s tool, while Amp is a tweaker’s toy.

Bias FX also includes preset amp models (front-panels only), but lacks the extra circuit tweakability of Bias Amp 2. Positive Grid does offer options for those who may want to include modeled fx in their sound, but it’s a separate product called, appropriately, Bias FX, which emulates all manner of stompbox fx, from choruses to fuzzboxes, all modeled as meticulously as the amps in Bias Amp 2, with similar circuit-level tweakability. Other than the Reverb and the utilitarian Gate, there are no effects at all-no pedal, stompbox, or rack effects included, just amps.
