please suggest some software based guitar effects!!!!!

[josevin2000]

hey guys. I do all my programming using cubase SX 2. i am planning to invest in a guitar setup. instead of a hardware effects processor i wanna go in for a software based guitar effects processor. could you lemme know which are the cool ones available. also where can i download a demo from before i actually go out and buy it...

i've heard of Guitar Rig. so should be getting the demo and trying that out. almost 6 years back i once dabbled with something called revalver. I'm sure its improved million folds by now. too bad cakewalk wont let a demo version download from their site. so hoping u guys could gimme some reviews.

besides these, are there any other good ones available. do lemme know.

also if you could tell me how i would be able to ingrate each of these effects software with my cubase. because this is something i have never done before.

will it come as a vst plugin, or will i have to rewire it, i dunno please suggest.

If your after amps and not effects the NI combos sound good and are cheap, they are standalone and vst , http://www.nativeinstruments.de/index.p ... 608d503e81

Amplitube is coming out with a new version. People seem to like this. You can get GuitarSuite for free. Very good. Then you can find some reverb, delay (PSP 84) and filter (PSP Nitro or Volcano)nplug-ins to round things out for the rest of your effects.
Some people use a POD XT (if you don't want to have to go with a computer base-VST.

It sounds like you‘re looking for amp sims and standard guitar FX, and have gotten lots of good suggestions already, so let me offer an alternative POV: In my mind, guitar FX are all the things that come AFTER the basic “guitar sound,” i.e., the amp/distortion/speaker sim. So, my strategy has increasingly been to handle the guitar sound with hardware (POD XT, ToneLab, GT-6, etc., any of which will also cover quite well all the garden-variety guitar FX), and use the computer for the strange FX, relieving the computer of the task of simulating amps, etc., so it can concentrate on post-processing. Ditto with basic ambience after the FX; I tend to prefer hardware reverbs, esp. since reverb can be so processor intensive. So, what’s the best current “multi-FX” in software? IMHO, the best value AND the best FX by far is Reaktor. Even tho it’s initially quite expensive, the vast range, superb quality, easy customizing, and cutting edge weirdness of the included FX is unmatched by any other software FX package I know of. But best of all, it’s constantly being updated and expanded by the huge user community via submissions to the User Library. Hardly a week goes by without some new and usually quite cool FX being offered up for nothing in the UL, and there are already so many exceptional offerings in the nearly 2000 existing submissions that it’d take you literally months to truly explore them all. Ignore this amazing treasure-trove at your peril, amigo!

I agree with David. Get yourself a nice hardware unit for the price of Amplicrude and then you can always add software delays chorus etc. I bought a Johnson J Station for $100 new and it simply blows any software away in my opinion. Also with hardware there is no cpu demand and near zero latency. Try a few hardware units at a local music shop if you can along with the software demos you can try at home.

If you want something a bit more "out there" than traditional guitar effects and amp emulations then try Native Instrument's Spektral Delay or Vokator, any of the effects by Ohmforce, Delay Dots Spectrum Worx, Antares Filter or Kantos, or More Feedback Machine and Filterscape by U-HE.
