Project BIAS-X

Really? I've never used their stuff, but I stumbled upon this chick's videos back before I landed on an Axe Fx, and seriously considered buying whatever Bias product she's using, because all her tones sounded great.

Here's 2:

I have Bias FX2, Bias Amp 2, and a Spark on loan. I just think it sucks compared to other stuff.

I’ve got Helix Native, Amplitube 5, S-Gear, Genome, ToneX, NAM stuff, etc. I find it hard to believe I can get great tones out of all that stuff, but somehow Positive Grid eludes me. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Who knows.

It's definitely a bit of a ''pissing in the wind'' moment for them, by not having a trial version.

Well I figured she knew a LOT more about gear than I did, since she was removing tracks from original recordings and making her own stems of several of the covers she played, plus I couldn't find much support online for dialing in tones, like there was for the Fractal stuff (Leon & Cooper, for example; in fact Cooper's vids pushed me over the top on Fractal), which I knew I'd need. So I'm glad I didn't choose Bias.

Back then (2018-ish) I knew nothing about all this modeling tech! The only other thing I knew was that I didn't want anything from Line 6, since I'd heard that Spider amp they made back in the day, whom a buddy of mine thought sounded awesome, but really sounded like dog shit. So, right or wrong, I ruled them out. Funny how older experiences with brands can shape your opinions of them..., forever.

And crazy as it may seem, the Bias stuff seemed priced too low for it to be high enough quality, in my opinion, again, right or wrong. That was 6 years ago; today I know that's not a factor.

Make it happen on my Spark 2 - or at least in a slimmed down variant and I'll throw my money at you PG.

Most likely because it would cost them some money when people use the AI features.
