SERIOUSLY. What is the vert best Guitar modellng software?
I have used Amplitude 3, Guitar Rig 5, and a product I purchased from Waves which I forgot name.
I realize this is subjective, but one VST must stand out as being the very best, most realistic sounding, without being overly complicated. I had a Yahama THX-10 5 watt modeling amp that had a USB output which unfortunately broke. But when I used the output from that little amp, it blew the doors off the software plugins available at the time.
I have Komplete Ultimate 10 which comes with Guitar Rig 5. I can't say I love this VST even though it has decent sounds.
Guitar is my main instrument so getting the best possible guitar sound it very important to me. I live in an apt so I am not going to be micing an amp.
The only option I was thinking about because it would be used live as well as in the studio, is possibly the Line 6 Helix. I know the tones that can be produced with that external until are amazing.
For now, I just want the very best possible modelng software and if you tell me Guitar Rig 5 is the best, my search is over.
I have not been paying attention to this niche area so I do not know which guitar software is considered the top in 2016.
Thanks

I prefer Scuffham S-Gear.

Never even heard of it. Must be crazy boutique. Have to google it now. Any soundcloud uploads?

Ive always heard good things about Scuffham S Gear. One day I'll actually try it. Perhaps today!
Its quite cheap.

Re: SERIOUSLY. What is the vert best Guitar modellng software?
i recently was checking out what guitar stuff is now available. i demoed the Scuffham thing but the fiddly old interface put me off.
in addition to the Scuffham stuff, also worth considering are:
https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/prod ... ck_v3.html
http://kazrog.com/products/thermionik/
note that Thermionik/Recabinet now consists of a whole bunch of individual plugins, so if you are after an all-in-one interface that will drive you nuts.
some people really like the Bias stuff too:

for iPad my current fave is ToneStack:

I liked Amplitube before I got a valve amp to mic up instead! I could get some quite nice boxy bluesy tones out of the AC30 models.

One recommendation I heard is investing in a good Tape Saturation plugin as it helps smooth out the high end in a lot of harsh Amp emulations.EasyWorkflow wrote:I have used Amplitude 3, Guitar Rig 5, and a product I purchased from Waves which I forgot name.

I hear good stuff about the Poulin freeware plugins as well.
