for cheap as chips results, Harley Benton do a attenuator with xlr out that you can plug straight into your interface and run an IR... £70 delivered.. works well...
Alternatively have a word with @dainty his latest album was done entirely with logics amp designer! and there is cock all wrong with the tones on that album!!!! “Dainty - ODAAT” if you want to listen...
Adding to which I don't have a cab sim for a 1951 Richard Allan Radio Bafflette Deluxe, so I have to use a real one.
Recently I've started to use the Waves guitar stuff a lot more. I bought the Gold bundle and that comes loaded with a load of stuff for guitar. It's simple and crisp and sounds great. I like it. I use that for a lot of bass too now. It's much more like using traditional amps, mics, cabs and stomp boxes.
I also have Eventide's TH3 which is very good. Sounds good.
I'll be upgrading Komplete to 13 soon, so will have a look at GR Pro 6 too, which is bundled with it.
Lately I've also started using my guitar dry straight into the DAW, and processing the sound afterwards. That's proving to be a useful alternative too.
With all this stuff, I find that you easily lose sight of what you want really, which for me is a straight up clean or dirty tone. For me, a lot of the software is just too FX and processing heavy.
When I first started in a band in the early 80s, all I used was a guitar a 2x12, a head, and a couple of stomp boxes. I find more and more I am coming back to that simplicity really.
I like a few of the LePou free ones as well as the free ones from Ignite, including their IR loader.
No need to pay for anything else.
What guitar were you using with it?
There have been so many different recs in the thread that I don't think me adding a couple of my favourites is going to be helpful.
What I will report is that NI Guitar Rig is significantly worse than any other well known ones, it sounds like it's generations of technology behind.
I'll also say that some of the better ones were also some of the cheaper ones.
DAW --> Reamp Box --> FX8 --> Kemper --> DAW
Regarding the software side of things it's most of the usual suspects already mentioned above, but it's nice to be able to send the VST FX through the Kemper, or the FX8 and/or Kemper FX through an Amp Sim, etc.
