Guitar cab simulator VST suggestion
hi all,
I have a Sansamp PSA-! which I used to run thru a ADA Microcab simulator. Haven't used them in a while. Anyhow, my ac adaptor for the Microcab is fried. So now I thought about just running the Sansamp straight into Reaper and insert a plugin in the fx for a cab simulator VST. Unfortunately, what I seem to find are effects that model both amp and cab. I really need, I think, something that concentrates on the cab end of things.
Any suggestions ?
While I'm at it I guess it makes sense to ask for opinions on what is a good Guitar amp/modeller VST. Although frankly, I have a VG-99 coming in soon so I should be covered.
Having said that, the Sansamp and the Microcab just made for a fantastic combo and probably a pretty unique combo at that. I'm trying to find a replacement adaptor for the microcab but that apparently will not be an easy task.
thanks in advance,
|

Here's a good place to start:

It's free and you can load cabinet impulses into it while adding minimal distortion.
I'm sure others will have some suggestions too!

Some people just use convolution reverb for a cab simulator. Look around the IR sites, you can find IRs for various speaker cabinets.
I've said this before but my favorite amp simulator is an amp. Record your parts direct, then re-amp them at your convenience.

so you mean make scratch tracks first direct and then go ahead and mic the amps? The issue there is the control of noise I guess. I'm doing this at home. Having said that though I do use my amp believe it or not to record my Ovation guitar, it just sounds so much better that way

Freeamp2 does some amazing things. I've just been using it on a trombone solo in a jazz fusion group recording. Wow!

No, I mean record your parts direct into the box, get them just how you want them, then at your leisure (like when the neighbors are away) route the recorded track to a hardware output and plug it into the amp input, and mic the amp, thereby re-amping your previously recorded and edited performance. (Just watch the gain, the output from your hardware box will be way hot. Also there are some wrinkles about impedance, but you most likely won't need to worry about that.)
If you also run the DI track through an amp sim you end up with a lot of different sounds, driven off a single performance, that you can mix back together.
