While it does not have some of the newer bells and whistles, the algorithms under the hood are rock solid (as CLA would say) and perform with no problems whatsoever. Who Is It For?: Waves GTR3 has been around for quite some time, and for older DAW users, it still remains a solid choice for all their guitar needs. There are 5 main sliders to control various parameters such as dynamics and bite and a few of CLAs choicest cabinet IRs are included for re-amping. The IR section of GTR3 is unlike most modern plugins and you can’t finetune the mic placement on the GUI, but the included IRs are of super high quality.ĬLA guitars, on the other hand, is a barebones plugin, mainly for big rock guitar sounds, but the reamping sounds are so good, that it takes an average guitar tone and supercharges it into LA rock goodness within a minute. All the major amp models and pedals are included. The signal chain allows you to have up to 2 amps in stereo, with 6 stomp slots per amp and the ability to customize amp and cab settings to your heart’s content. The amp modeling, however, is the usual Waves quality and performs adequately. Interface and Usability: There’s no doubt that GTR3s interface is quite dated. There are 5 parameters to dial in the sound to your taste. Despite being an older plugin, the GTR3 boasts of 30 amp models, multiple stompboxes, and mics and cabinets.ĬLA guitars, on the other hand, has limited functionality, but for rock guitar players, the reamplify function unlocks CLAs radio-ready rock sounds heard on multiple platinum winning records, all the click of the button. CLA is considered the king of radio rock producers, and his plugin also brings a lot to the table.Īmps and Effects Library: The GTR3 (Guitar Tool Rack) plugin used to have 3 separate plugins for the stompboxes/pedals, amps, and effects units separately, but now they are all integrated into one plugin for convenience. Their other alternative comes from the signature Chris Lord Alge line of DSP plugins, called CLA guitars. My Review: One of the oldest players in the VST game, Waves has been at the fore-front of DSP technology, and their guitar simulation plugin called GTR3 is well-known for its solid performance and frugal CPU usage. Here is a good video review of Positive Grid BIAS FX 2 Tone Cloud service to buy and sell presets.

Who Is It For?: Bias is for all those guitar players who think software doesn’t cut it or doesn’t sound like the real thing. The Tonecloud feature allows you to create, buy, and sell presets on their marketplace in the app itself. Their Tone-matching features were already quite well known but the new versions also can match Guitar shapes! This means your Ibanez or Fender can be used to replicate a hollow body guitar should the need ever arise. In FX 2, you can design a signal chain complete with pedals, amps, and post-FX like reverbs on a deceptively powerful open surface where you can drag and drop units. Interface and Usability: Bias has quite an easy to use GUI for something that offers so much functionality. The pro and elite version come with even more options. AMP offers 36 Amp models with various cabinets and microphones, whereas FX includes 30 amps and over 43 pedals in the standard version. Both AMP and FX offer crystal clear signal quality.

Bias FX 2, on the other hand, offers a full suite of pedal effects and amps (although with slightly less advanced controls) for a one-stop software rig. Perfect for those who need a reliable/customizable amp sim that works with their existing pedal/FX rig. You could say I’m slightly biased about this one!Īmps & Effects Library: Bias comes in 2 flavors, AMP 2 offers in-depth tweaking of all the Amp modelers parameters, from changing the tube amps to making minute adjustments to the transformers. Their new flagship product, called BIAS FX 2 rules the roost when it comes to high-quality and accurate emulations of amps and pedals.
The kind of high-quality emulation was never heard before in devices with such low processing power. My Review: Positive Grid is a San Diego based company that changed the guitar software game with its JamUp iOS app in 2013.
