so what is the best guitar VST and why is it not guitar rig?
I used Guitar Rig 5 for a decade and disliked it. I also tried the latest version and it sounds "the same". It's not even the sound I dislike, because all of these amp sims sound the same. They all sound good, it all just boils down to the amount of different amps, cabs and effects you get.If I were in the market now, I'd get TH-U by Overloud. I hated Amplitube 5, because its MIDI implementation is unorthodox if you use it in a DAW. I've been burned by BIAS FX2 and Positive Grid (they stopped updating it), so I would recommend BIAS X.Neural Amp Modeler is great if you don't mind living with specific captures of tones. It's recommended to get some of the "high quality IR" packs.I wouldn't buy the Neural DSP stuff, because it's not worth its price. It's very limited in terms of "gear" you get, while sounding the same as any other amp sim.>tl;dr: download the demo of every amp sim out there and pick the one which offers you the most features you need. they all sound the same
