Free Guitar Amp Sim Plugins You Should Try in 2021

Can we install this plugin in studio one prime, if not what else option are there except Ampire..

I'm searching for smooth no fizzy ,non scratchy distortions, I've yet to find just one.......

Thank you for these videos they have been SO incredibly helpful, I would love to here a FREE LIVE BASS AMP SIM PLUGIN.

Havent got a clue how you managed to download this "Free Version" of Amplitude 5CS because it just takes you round the houses after it makes you register with all your personal data first! Annoying isn't the word for it but tbf I wouldn't expect anything else off of FENDER! 🙄

That clean dittie... Am I crazy or do I hear that exact piece playing while pumping my gas at Wawa?

excellent

Ok so amplitude 5 it is
And your pros..,😅

You're missing the Coolness and Irony of the name of "Nadir", you're pronouncing it "NAD-I.R.", but if you just say "Nadir", then the definition of Nadir is - "The nadir is the direction pointing directly below a particular location; that is, it is one of two vertical directions at a specified location, orthogonal to a horizontal flat surface. The direction opposite of the nadir is the zenith." LIKE MIC PLACEMENT

Mike, Your knowledge is vast and communication skills are enviable. I tried your recommended method of extracting proper stereo with Studio One 5 from an Amplitube 5 config utilizing two amp patches running in parallel. as you demonstrated. I especially like pairing a clean amp with an overdriven one. However, I found the result to be what sounds like the same mono blend of the two amps in the left and right channels - certainly better sounding and more possibilities that using just the mono, but the result I found most pleasing (to me) was to create one mono channel with one of the amps muted, and then create another mono channel after switching to muting the other amp instead, thus creating stereo with a clean amp on one side with the overdriven on the other. What do you think?

Maybe I'm being dumb but "Amped Roots Free" is a demo no? I get intermittent sound dropouts, making it NOT a free plugin IMHO. Sounds ok tho with the cabs. Annoying tho as it's misleadingly presented as FREE. It's a DEMO!🤠

Hello sir, I am starting new here and I am finding the 'pick and choose' aomewhat complicated.
I want to record my guitar solo on top of a backing track. I usually prefer solo tones which carry a lot of thickness, like Guns N Roses.
Can you please help me with a plugin/processor software which is free to use.

I am using Waveform Free as my DAW. The processor is the missing piece here.

The demos recorded with the neck pickup definitely did not suit the high gain ones. Roots is my favorite and I use it everyday for multiple things, in the end it is a 5150 III EL34 and sounds quite close to the real deal.

Also something I would always mention to get amp sims to really sound good, is adding an EQ after them and put a low cut at around 150 - 200Hz, you definitely don't want digital flabbiness that makes them sound flubby and boxy and just horrible. Also cut out the high end with a hi cut, everything after 10kHz you don't need. It improves any amp sim by 1000 and also helps them to sit better in the mix. You can tweak a few of the mid frequencies to really tune the sound to perfection.

Airwindows amps are great too. Try Fireamp or Grindamp. They're hot. And they do not hit your CPU that hard.

Thank you, Mike, for this excellent video! One thing I didn't quite understand: for amp sims 5 to 2 in your countdown, when you doubled the guitar performance and panned one track hard left and the other hard right, was the amp sim AND cabinet applied to EACH of the two guitar tracks or just applied once on a stereo bus track as you did in the final Amplitube setup? Thanks so much. :-)

Does doing that stereo feature on the amplitube plugin prevent us from having to also record doubles for guitars?

Wow thank you so much. Recording guitar couple years at home. The I impulse cab plug in is a gold mine. Its the closest to a kemper for free cheers

I’ve tried lots of sims to get a good practice amp sound and also one that could be used in public, via a powered speaker, from a tablet. I’d almost given up with these and then I found ‘lostin70s’ - and tried ToneDeluxe and it turned out to be excellent. I’ve also tried the ModernDeluxe - which includes 6 pedals - and I’m thinking of making this my main amp - especially after playing with the available cabinets and finding the UK 25W which gives me a great sound!

Gosh, i didn't even know Emissary can be configured from the back as well. BTW, in the autumn of 2021 it only ships 6 IRs with NadIR, not a whole lot as you showed

I cant find NadIR can one of yall help me

it would've been nice to include a list of what DAWs actually support the plugins listed. I just spent like an hour downloading all the stuff you need for Ignite Emissary, but I use FL and apparently its not supported. So I just wasted all that time and effort

Outta all of them... Guitar rig wad the Richerst I ever heard! I'm looking for that

ignite not free just trial....

I think maybe the Amplitube 5 SC is no longer free.

The Amplitube looks nice, but the video does not tell you that when you open it, there are lots of amp sims in there, BUT.....only 3 basic ones are unlocked. You gotta pay for the rest, so, it's really not all that "free"

How do you pull ANY of these into Studio One. (Yes, complete noob).

Thanks brother I really needed that I'm a 35-year-accomplished musician and I've never ever recorded through digital recording I've always had an engineer doing it for me and now I'm on my own so I appreciate everything you're doing man I really needed this one thank you very much

Thanks mate, wishing you continued success

HI~Is this NadIR just directly insert after Amp sim (Which dont have cabinet) and It works well??

Didn't like any of those amp plugins.

I’ve been reading that amplitude can get glitchy. True or false?

I cannot get that Emissary amp to sound decent on the distorted lead channel. I gave up working w it.

I use TH3 in cakewalk. Would you recommend any of these amp sims over TH3? Thanks for the video!

Great video. I’m very old school when it comes to recording guitars. I have several great amps, both tube and solid state. The other day I was producing a song here in Nashville for a gospel artist. I could not find a tone I liked for the solo. So, I plugged straight in and went into ampire. Took me about 2/minutes to find a tone that worked. First time I had ever even opened it up. So, now I’m headed down into the rabbit hole.

Gracias por revisar los amps con sonidos limpios y crunch. La mayoría lo hace con mucha ganancia, escondiendo las fallas del amps.

Anyone else having problems using amplitube CS with studio one 5?

REAPER's mixer tracks are channel-agnostic by default so dropping an amp sim with stereo outputs onto a track with a mono guitar part is no problem. No need to set up buses or other shenanigans.

Hey Mike! Great video. Could you pelase share which drum loops or vst did you use on this demo? thanks

Can I use them in my DAW without any guitar ?

Hi, there, Mike.
Do you, or anyone here, had a problem with the STL licenses?
When you download the free version, it's $0.00 but I just got the license window asking to activate and it says I don't have any activated licenses.
Does anyone know what to do?

guitar cua ken yokoyama ha bro

What drums were you using in this video?

So informative thank you 😄

Very cool Mike. Thanks for sharing so much with us out here, you have really made my transition from straight MIDI with rack mount synths to the digital/virtual world so easy and much more fun.

Man you're a godsend. Did someone ever tell you that?

good video. I use amped roots a lot , and Le Pou. NadIR is super useful too. Not crazy about Amplitube as it cause Reaper to crash often.

Nice! 🇧🇷

Blue Cat Free Amp does have an IR loader too. I've always quite liked Voxengo's amp plug in as well.

I'm new to mixing, I wanna learn the basics to it and maybe a couple advanced tricks. If you have any tips just leave 'em in the replies, thanks!!

It is worth visiting IK Multimedia (the company that makes AmpliTube) website once per about 2 weeks because they give away some of their stuff for free. I got Amplitube Metal Collection, Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier amp, Soldano SLO 100 amp for absolutely free.

Was there a noise gate engaged?
