Aurora DSP

quite noisy but there is a noise gate. Fun to use and get a sound quick. If it isn't the sound you are looking for then it isn't the right plugin.

I just bought this Aurora DSP bundle, and the L2 Aura has issues with the output meters, as does the AK-476. I hope they fix them soon.

Excellent pedal (pre)amp with a lot of great sounds and additional features, even an additional IR loader, so in principle all you need and this at an affordable price.

Perfect solution for "in the box" mixing situation. Volume normalizing is great feature of plugin! Specially for mixing between 4 IRs! Great job! Best of the best! My new favorite guirtar tool and best guitar cab ever so far.

This is a truly unique guitar amp plugin. It doesn't try to simulate 'guitar amp X' but rather gives you all the elements that make up an amp chain (input, preamps, EQ, IRs and effects) and lets you play with them on a single canvas. You're approaching your guitar tone as a sound designer rather than a guitar player, which yields some very different results. Plus literally everything is right there on one page. You can even cascade and blend several preamps and there's a (hidden) sub-octave feature if you drag the Rhino logo in the center.

Then for all the playfulness, it has some really deep pro features like tone matching and a smooth quad-IR morpher. Even the noise gate has deep settings that let you get some awesome glitchy torn notes.

Rhino really strikes me as possibly the most creative take on using amp simulation in a more 'out of the box' way. You end up sounding like nothing else because you approach it like nothing else. This is a must-have if you're into modern guitar sounds or just a tone explorer.

Mammoth is a wonderful plugin, very flexible so you should be able to get the sound you want whatever the style.
