Even the built in effects in most DAWs works well as a guitar plugin, I've had success using the compressor especially that came with my DAW. If you keep your eye open, you get free pedal or even amps. And there aren't a lot of effects, and certainly not a lot of modulation effects. They only give you 4 amps max, the Omega is only one amp. Although they might be too gainey for your purposes, those are probably the best ones I have ever heard (apart from my Helix). I've demoed the Nolly, Plini and Omega amp sims. Someone else mentioned the Neural DSP stuff.

Also, something about the quality of the modelling I don't know how to describe it, but you get "bored" of the sound of these plugins after a while. It's good to have the option of a hundred amps and effects, but you'll usually default to a couple of those options that sound good to you.

I also used Bias Amp and Bias FX 2 till very recently.Īlthough these are good options, they usually go for quantity over quality. My first guitar software was the Amplitube 2, upgraded to 3. Any suggestions advice or anything would be much appreciated. I want something where I can load my own IR’s in and the Bias Celestion pack looks pretty neat but again I have no idea where to start as this realm is all completely new to me.

You can set bias about 10 below the suggested settings to extend tube useful. Always follow these ‘suggestions’ treat it as ‘orders’, not ‘suggestions’ if you want your amp run at optimal condition and sound the best. Effects are important as well I like playing with different drives, reverbs, delays and sometimes some modulation (been using a line 6 HX Effects for everything except drive lately so whatever simulator is closest sounding to that unit would be neat) you can adjust bias settings based on amp manufacturer’s suggestions.

Marshall DSL40 and a full pedalboard with everything I need there, but I can’t play at night due to having a child now so I’m looking for something that gets me as close as possible to a real tube amp tone with good dynamic range as I play a lot of blues and classic rock and am venturing into slide guitar.

Here’s a rundown of my equipment / budget/ what I’m looking for. Hey guys, I’m looking into some amp / fx sim software for late night jamming and to get better tones than what garage band has to offer me.
