Positive Grid BIAS Amp 2 Standard

Nice intro to Positive Grid

This is a great and highly customizable amp sim. I'd recommend this if you are just getting into the world of amp sims. This has everything you need for a beginner and more. I use it regularly in my guitar and bass recordings and since using it have decided to upgrade to the full suite of Bias software.

The only real negative is that it uses a lot of system resources so it can get a little slow if you have a few of these Positive grid plugins loaded in complex plugin chains.

The best software amp modelling I've tried

If you're a tone junkie but having to make do without a collection of boutique amps, this is a great piece of software. I've been pretty dismayed at the generic offerings from the big players (amplitude, NI, Line 6, etc) so was intrigued when I discovered Positive Grid. The sheer subtle, customisability of each stage of the amp circuit is mind boggling and really enables the dialling in of a bespoke, personalised tone. Its a remarkable piece of coding and feels very responsive to play through. I have the standard version and am desperate for the next deal they do to upgrade to pro to take advantage of their full range of speaker impulse responses! I've this working across a wide variety of styles and guitars. A+
