Good morning folks (or *specific daytime* wherever you live),
first of all: I suppose I know the market for this quite a bit, but I am just overwhelmed by all of the possibilites and need some opinions.
As my Helix is going to stay more in the rehearsal place I want something for guitar (and maybe bass - but that is tertiary) to fiddle at home with my EMG loaded guitars and my Scarlett 2i2 3rdGen. Headphones are DT770 320Ohm.
Now I know Neural has some pretty wild plug ins, ML Sound Lab I own some (Roots, ML800), too, and AmpKnob by Bogren is a cool simple solution, too.
QUick rundown what I am searching for:
- Possibility of standalone (.exe) on Windows 11 AND vst (2/3) plugin in Reaper (This is why Native falls flat. I don't want to fire up Reaper everytime I feel like fiddling). Priority A!
- Clean and OD. In terms: I need a "Metal" clean. JC like. Just whatever. Chorus to it. No Edge-Of-Fuckup or anything, I don't play a PRS 10Top. The OD should be more modern and handle a 7 string tuned to standard B or Drop A (at the most). 5153 is my favorite. Recto... not so much. British or American, though, I don't really care. I don't like the uber-scoop where I have to dial the mids back in afterwards to not sound like a wet fart.
- Some basic effects like Noise Gate, Tubescreamer (or smth like that), Chorus, Delay, (Room) Reverb. No specialities. Let the music speak for itself.
- Should just work well to play with a backing track on Youtube or from Hard Drive (I guess anything will be able to do that, eh?)
- Maybe possibility somewhere down the line to switch with MIDI? (only B priority)
and very very important to me: Just a nice and clean user UI. I don't need to fiddle with 10 EQs and 3 comps. I don't care if the IR bank fits 100 or 200 .wav files. I want it clean and tidy and easy to use.
AND MOST IMPORTANT: Knobs. You give me sliders, I will go bonkers.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day (night, whatever)
