The best amp modeling plugin?

[itsjustmeee123]

For you guitarists out there, I'm curious of your opinions on which amp modeling plugin is the best/most useful. I've been through many over the years and have my own thoughts but I'd like to see what others think here.

I mainly use AmpliTube 5 and Eleven MKII personally. I've tried GTR3 and Guitar Rig, but I'm not a big fan of the GUI with them, they feel older than AmpliTube 3.

I personally like anything from Plugin Alliance first and foremost.

Nembrini Audio is good.

Positive Grid BIAS is good.

Audio Assault has some good stuff that's pretty cheap.

Another vote for the Plugin Alliance stuff - got most stuff except for the Fuchs's, Orange and RockRack. I think Nembrini does some of the PLugin Alliance amps.


Have Amplitube 3 and 4 and the only good stuff is the Fender Collection 1. Guitar Rig is okay but not great.

Positive Grid Bias is good.

But for me, I still think Eleven II is fantastic.

But nowadays I'm often reach for my Axe-FX FM3.

For rock and metal, STL Tones is the best I have heard. The Rectifier and Diezel Herbert packs are monsters. They have a lot of different options and is very much geared towards the modern metal sounds, though have a lot of other options and many amp captures from "big" producers.

I’ve been pretty impressed with AmpliTube 5 so far. I’ve only had it a couple of days but I really like it’s versatility. I especially like how the amp and room mics work together. I do have a Line 6 Helix laying around but the software isn’t nearly as user friendly so I tend to just go for something else.

Amplitude 4 & 5 get a lot of use here. Also, the offerings from Plugin Alliance. Eleven MkII is still being used. I also use NI Guitar Rig 5 which is good, though the upgrade to 6 looks more than welcome! Also on occasion sims from Waves, the PRS ones are well worth trying.

I used AT4 for a while and am now using AT5 for pretty much all my guitar tracks. I have the Max version, which covers just about any sound I could want.

Helix Native is useful too, but overall I like the sounds I get from AT5 better.

Eleven MKII has been my go-to for Marshall sounds for years.
AT5 may take over now. It's good.
