As much as we love guitar amplifiers and cabinets, it’s hard to find a place where we can play them on the loudness they require and for that reason are often impractical. This is where amp simulators plug-ins come in, bringing all those tones in a more convenient package. Plug-ins can recreate amplifier heads, effect pedals and cabinets with accompanying microphones, offering an endless variety of choice for all sorts of guitar tones from smooth jazz to warm fuzz or high-gain metal and anything in between.
