Guitar Rig has a ton of bass amps O.o

Re: Your favorite guitar/bass amp VST?

Guitar Rig 5 is great for whatever you can think of, ReValver is great for super heavy, gritty dist, Amplitube is great for raw, thrashy stuff but I don't feel it's quite as good as the previous two I mentioned. I've heard Pod Farm produce some great sounds but I've never actually had the chance to try it out myself.

Overloud's TH2 offers lots of customization and is pretty versatile but doesn't provide all that great dist IMO. It's awesome if you want to mess around and make special effects and it can provide some really nice clean sounds, but that kind of goes for the other amp sims as well.

I'd honestly recommend TH2 but it had this super annoying issue for me where it would constantly go haywire and I had to restart the VST for it to fix itself. On the other hand, you really can't go wrong with Guitar Rig 5. As far as versatility goes it crushes everything I've tried aside from TH2 which was annoying to use. ReValver is probably better for metal if that's what you're interested in writing.

edit: you know what? it really doesn't matter. I use mostly GR5 nowadays but I've written stuff using tons of different amp simulators and there's really no dealbreaker involved with any of them.

1/60th second of 50% duty cycle square wave followed by 12.5% duty cycle square wave is the best guitar in existence

gotta agree that Guitar Rig is pretty sick.
