Genome 2.0 vs Real Amp Paul Bradshaw 2026-06-18 | Here's Two Notes GENOME 2.0's new AmpNet multi-parametric capture technology I put the PARADEX component to a test, doing a direct, side-by-side shootout between a real tube amp and its fully parametric digital twin inside GENOME 2.0. Most digital profile and capture platforms (like standard NAM or ToneX) only give you a "static snapshot" of an amp at one specific setting. If you turn the gain or EQ knobs, the underlying model doesn't actually change how the circuit responds. But with Two Notes Capture Studio and AmpNet, GENOME 2.0 claims to map how the amplifier channel actually responds across its entire control range—including gain structure, tone stack interaction, and power amp behavior. Let me know in the comments: Can you hear the difference? Which one sounded better to your ears?#TwoNotes #AmpCapture #TubeAmpVsDigital -- -- -- Support me by using any of these links:►Thomann Affiliate🔊: https://www.thomann.de/de/index.html?offid=1&affid=3523►Gear I Use 🔊: thmn.to/thocf/fi5qa1i74l►GVM Lights : shop.gvmled.com/?sca_ref=7456514.KSJxOK7Ztb-- -- -- ►All my Fractal audio presets 🎸: ko-fi.com/s/5a6542f393►NAM + TONEX packs ☕: ko-fi.com/paulbradshawguitar-- -- -- ►All my links 🎧: https://linktr.ee/paulbradshawguitar-- -- --►Guitar Youtube Collective on DISCORD : discord.gg/YBrYTvJmGr-- -- --follow me on IG here : instagram.com/paulbradshawguitarTIMESTAMPS00:00 Two Notes Parametric Amp Capture00:18 Amp capture with Two Notes Capture Studio01:07 Real Amp vs Genome 2.0 Parametric capture01:57 Initial thoughts02:16 Enhancer post fx to get the capture closer to the amp03:46 Thoughts on the enhancer / tweaks04:21 Amp & SD-1 vs Genome & Ultra drive05:24 Final thoughts07:04 Bad Cat Lynx ampnet capture

Solar A1.7D LTD 7 String Guitar Demo Paul Bradshaw 2026-05-19 | #solarguitars Here's a newer version of this guitar with Fishman Fluence pickups:thmn.to/thoprod/538114?offid=1&affid=3523short Ola clip taken from Dickie Radd's compilation video:youtu.be/7n11_Gecjbg?si=pXJuXTrWsgkZpUXGthanks again to Jan at GTR-Customs for setting this up : facebook.com/gtrcustoms2010Guitar Description:The defining characteristic of the A1.7D LTD is its rustic, battle-hardened appearance. It features an Aged Natural Matte finish over an alder body, meaning the natural grain, unique wood streaks, and minor color variations are intentionally visible. To match the body, Solar outfitted this limited run with distressed/aged hardware, giving the entire instrument a raw, custom-shop look right out of the box. The centerpiece of the guitar's hardware is the fully mechanical Evertune constant-tension bridge. Once you tune and lock it in, it physically compensates for changes in temperature, humidity, and hard hand pressure, ensuring the guitar never goes out of tune—even during extreme low-tuned riffing or heavy studio tracking. It comes loaded with a pair of custom-voiced Duncan Solar humbuckers. Controlled by a 5-way blade switch, these pickups offer a massive tonal range—yielding crisp, organic cleans all the way to tight, heavy distortion with maximum note definition across all seven strings. The neck features Luminlay "glow-in-the-dark" side dots, allowing you to easily find your place on dark stages, alongside high-ratio Solar 18:1 locking tuners for quick restringing. -- -- -- ►All my Fractal audio presets 🎸: ko-fi.com/s/5a6542f393-- -- -- Support me by using any of these links:►Thomann Affiliate🔊: https://www.thomann.de/de/index.html?offid=1&affid=3523►Gear I Use 🔊: thmn.to/thocf/fi5qa1i74l-- -- -- ►NAM + TONEX packs ☕: ko-fi.com/paulbradshawguitar-- -- -- ►All my links 🎧: https://linktr.ee/paulbradshawguitar-- -- --►Guitar Youtube Collective on DISCORD : discord.gg/YBrYTvJmGr-- -- --follow me on IG here : instagram.com/paulbradshawguitarTIMESTAMPS00:00 Track00:51 Overview 01:20 Can I fit an 80 gauge string?02:06 TONES03:05 Clean TONES03:47 Splitting the humbuckers05:36 A word on this tuning
