Guitar amps and cabinets are expensive and take up space. They’re worthwhile, but guitar amp VSTs are a viable solution for many guitar players.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forget about saving up for a guitar amplifier and cabinet – digital audio<\/a><\/strong><\/span> lets you play with an abundance of amp & cab emulations on your computer<\/a><\/strong><\/span>! After all, not many of us have the funds or contacts with access to vintage or otherwise premium equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s talk about what we think are the best guitar amp VSTs that let you build a signal chain<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and control the tone of your sound. Some of these guitar plugins give you more technical controls than others, but not everyone wants that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Amplitube 5 has been around for 20 years, so it’s no surprise that IK Multimedia know what they’re doing with amp emulations<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and effects software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While the software does feature popular amps from major brands, Amplitube 5 also includes amps from smaller makers too. In fact, a number of the amps from the likes of Orange, Fender, and Mesa are officially licensed. Therefore the amp emulations in Amplitube 5 should be the best on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You’ll find amp emulations of equipment such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. PRS Archon<\/strong><\/li>
    2. Friedman Pink Taco<\/strong><\/li>
    3. Bogner XTC <\/strong><\/li>
    4. Diezel VH4 <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Furthermore, you can run more than one cabinet at once and build complex, nearly ‘impossible’ rigs. The drag-and-drop signal chain interface lets you build a powerful sound by combining amps and stompboxes into one chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Amplitube 5 also gives you a lot of creative control while creating your tone. For example, you can utilize its precise virtual microphone placement to shape your sound before inserting any amps into your signal chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Amplitube software includes a wealth of not only amplifiers but effects too. Both the amp and effect modules are the main selling points, but Amplitube also features writing and performance tools too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are a number of payment tiers available, but the Max version isn’t cheap. But there is a free tier that features 41 models for you to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
