Best clean-tone amp sim?

[Ermz]

Hey guys,

We've known for a few years now that amp sims have given some perfectly usable clean tones. I've been out of the loop on sims of late though, and I'm curious which is currently leading the pack for best tones.

Suggestions?

personally i like Lextac by Lepou

 

[Empathy]

Amplitube 3 treats me pretty well.

 

[DominikJW]

Lextac with "bright" on, or "brighter", depends on the di's.

I think Yannick used the logic 9 amp designer for the clean tones in "Sleepless" on the last Despised Icon record.

 

[MIAnn]

lextac or the anvil.. job done.

 

[LeSedna]

Lextac is very good for very bright clean sounds

 

[metalfanat1c]

LeXTaC

Or Revalver JSX or Bassman (Basic)

As already said: Lextac!

Actually enjoying Amplitube Fender for this. Pretty much all it does is cleans, haha, and based off of the best cleans ever (IMO).

With Mike on the amplitube fender sims and I love the podfarm citrus model.

 

[CubanDude]

+1 on Lextac

 

[Sloan]

haha, was gonna post LeXTAC as well, but it seems others have figured it out too!

I'd like to hijack this thread for a second, and ask, what's the best sim for guitar solos? I remember hearing Nick Crow something, but that was a long time ago...

 

[Scott Horner]

I've been using Solo C for all my cleans. May have to give LeXTAC a shot based on this thread.

Lextac and AMPLITUBE. What you want to do is load LEXTAC with one of the BRIGHT settings. Then open up AMPLTIUBE and bypass the AMP and only use the FX effects (flange, chorus, reverb, etc.) You cannot go wrong.

I like soloC or LE456 for leads.

Pod Farm is the only thing I've used and it sounds great. Wish they would do better on the high gain tone

I'm with a few of the others here, I've always loved Fender type clean tones and Amplitube Fender does a great job. Now with the free version of Custom Shop you can try out the individual models and find the one that has the sound you want prior to committing to the purchase so experiment.

This sounds amazing for clean tones.
