Wow, a lot of guitar amp modelers out there!
I’m looking for something that approaches a more wooly, tube-driven, doom metal sound ala Sunno, Earth, Early Sabbath (especially Vol.4), Kyuss and the Melvins Houdini album. Somewhere in there. It might be that closest is a Marshall plexi, V4 or Orange/Matamp emulator (do the second two even exist?)
I’m also looking for something that sounds heavy but clear ala Neurosis, the last few Swans, etc. I thinking that for this and the above maybe S-Gear is still the way to go? I’m not sure some of these heavy guitar emulators would work since they are tailored to stuff like Meshugah, palm muted death metal, etc.
The plan is to you the emulator along with a few real amps (old Marshall, Ampeg Reverbrocket, RCA monoblock).
