I was just reading that while doing some research on this. Did you happen find one where they talk a bit about what are the new ways they emulate the amps in Paradise compared to the older amp sims? I am guessing Paradise is new technique and algorithms compared to Lion , Ruby e.t.c?

I put the UA Lion against Paradise and they sounded pretty much identical. I don't think there's any real difference between them. Paradise is just more versatile because you get more cab options and whatnot.

I think the modelling is identical between their pedals and all plugin versions. The recto and dumble have a lot more parameters exposed to the user than the earlier models but I don’t think the tech has evolved much between them. The only one where that might be their case is the old DSP only Fender plugin they released that got “remastered” as Woodrow (I don’t think it’s a ground up re-write).

Well paradise is those, as in Woodrow, Dream, Ruby, Lion, Enigmatic and the showman.
 
What’s funny about the boomer plugin thing is @2112 and Troy were talking about it the opposite way in their podcast, that most of the gear in the plugin is stuff younger people would be using. Most young rock bands I hear are either indie rock with some jangly guitar or grunge/shoegaze inspired fuzzy guitar.

Metal bands seem more older millennials. But I could see bands like sleep token and Spiritbox inspiring some younger kids to get into metal. Honestly middle aged bearded dudes screaming aren’t going to be drawing a lot of teen girls and where the girls go the boys will follow lol.

I know that metal had a big surge when I was in high school in the mid 00s, but the scene (in my area at least) definitely didn't revolve around girls, it was the riffs lol

The girls liked that emo pop punk shit way more than they ever like metal

This is the real truth. The current generation of kids are massively into the kinds of bands I grew up with so I'm all for it, honestly. Plus the goths are thriving.

That unfortunately doesn't take away from the fact that its still a boomer plugin though.

That's true, I was in both kinds of bands for a bit in the mid 2000's. I can fully attest that the pop punk band brought in WAY more girls than the metalcore band. Still I think they ended up crossing over a lot, and in the 2010's the pop punk bands got a lot heavier in their breakdowns while still keeping the poppy sing along choruses.

I’m just happy kids are still into instruments and music, all for whatever they want to listen to and play through.

I know right? I was at GC last week and these parents came in to buy their kid a guitar and amp for Christmas. They took him to see Paul McCartney over the summer and then he got obsessed with the Beatles and wanted to learn guitar. Made me super happy.

My middle kid is big into playing instruments but doesn't like rock or pop music at all (strictly classical). Younger kid is really interested but she mostly likes pop music. We'll see...

And there’s a reason for it. Since Rock Guitar was gonna go the way of the Bebop horn.

The Guitar Hero Video franchise renewed interest in guitar irl.
