Hi everybody
Just asking for experiences , good or bad, with different guitar amp sims in beatmaker. Ive got jam up but it seems a bit flat tbh. Clean tones mainly
Tonestack or bias fx. I think i heard that tonestack will be AU some day(and unlikely that bias would), so it might be a better choice.
Do keep in mind that no amp sim program will sound like being in a room with a tube amp. Cleans and slight crunch they can do decently and they can sound good enough in a mix. Try putting a distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedal between guitar and interface to get better overdriven sounds. Use 3rd party impulse responces(you can load them to free app called fiddlicator and host it in bias/tonestack as iaa fx) and turn the apps own cab sim off to get better sounds. Internet is full of free impulses.
Try out the free effects app Muckraker for some nice distorted tones. It isn't as versatile, but it is free, simple to configure and may be useful to you.
I use bias fx, never really messed with the amp sims part of it. You can make it run in stereo so sometimes i use it for effects on synths, particularly bass
