Best clean-tone amp sim?

[sam14]

Are you guys rocking IR's with the Lextac cleans? or just using the preamp?

Thought I would ask, might have a crack at it when I get home from work.

I like soloC or LE456 for leads.

Thanks for the tip, I've been using X50, I dunno why, haha.

I love the Xtac, but I have a hard time finding the the right IRs for it!

amplitube 3 with the fender shit or lextac.

I find I'm using amplitube more though.

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

I find Logics Amp Designer to be more or less useless, but the Mini Tweed Amp sounds much more alive than the rest.

I usually go with the LeXtac for cleans though.

Amplitube Fender here, as well. I'm pretty sure Aaron used it on 7H7E's album for all of their clean layerings, too.

LeXTAC (which is good for bass growlies too, by the way) and Le456 are my go to plugins.

For a crystal clean tone, only preamp would be enough.

Cool, so LeXTAC for free cleans, and Amplitube 3 for paid. Totally forgot about PODFarm - I gotta check out some of their models too.

Thanks!

Aside from the other mentions, Waves GTR has a pretty nice clean sounds. I bought it mostly for bass, but I find myself using it quite often for clean parts.

Well, the Fender set specifically, which you can get separately for $100 less than the full Amplitube 3.

Nobody here even mentioned Overloud TH2 ? OMG... It is really great for clean and dist sounds.

Overloud TH1/2 is really incredible when you want 80's crystallized clean tone...

Amp Farm has some very good cleans.
I tried once Amplitube Fender and I was also impressed on how good it is.

Well I have nothing to compare it to except for the Axe-FX (and real fenders), but Lextac is actually very good! I just set up Lextac (inspired by this thread), into a cab IR from redwirez, into a compressor plugin, into a convolution reverb, and damn.. Thats quite the sound.

Another vote for LeXtac, with Kalthallen cabs MD421 or AT4050 it sounds pretty awesome !

I own Waves GTR3, and I always have a hard time to make it sound good, even for bass. For cleans and bass, wich amps do you use and how do you set them up ? (internal cab/mic or external IR, internal FX or not...etc).

+1 to LeXtac!

Amplitube Fender has just about any clean tone you can imagine. But Lextac is very simple and easy to use. I don't even have Amplitube installed anymore, but the cleans do sound amazing. I use Lextac when I need cleans atm though, it's so easy and I don't have to "install" it. Both sound great though.
