Hi guys,

In your opinion, what is the best guitar amp simulator (VST, Ableton, Windows 10) to have to have a clean traditionnal jazz tone in the style of Wes Montgomery or, at least, a modern Jazz clean tone ?

 

I like STL AmpHub, the interface is pretty good to navigate and flexible sounding.

 

Thanks Can you recommend some good presets for a clean sound ?

 

Usually on AmpHub I just load something close and then I tweak the settings. If you're looking for presets to try, maybe get STL ToneHub instead. There's a billion presets there made by a billion people.

 

Scuffham S Gear .. Dan Huff also using it

 

NI Guitar rig i been using the JC120 in that for all my clean tones/ Jazz bits its kinda the one thing Guitar rig got right

Neural Amp Modeler hands down (even if the "lost in models" risk is pretty high) !

 

Thanks ! I think I'm gonna try this one :

It's an advantage for me because I've sorted all the NAM amps into different groups The drive/fuzz pedals are good too, and I use them to reamp through my Kemper. You can even try them in front of a Helix Native amp.
