Shreddage 2 with updates (with the suffix v2e) is very good for Rhythm. And I say that after using all of the following products: Electri6ity Guitar Pro Ministry of Rock Prominy Shreddage. Goes well with Guitar Rig, with the Corn Now preset being my reliable fall-back.Īmple Sound's AME isn't great, but it's the best I've found for a metal lead. Those are the main industry players in terms of virtual guitars.

But to be honest there are so many variables in the way you can pick/phrase/attack the strings on the guitar that most plugins don’t compare to an actual guitarist. If I were to rank them all in order it would look like this: 1. Shreddage just cannot do a quality lead sound in my experience, AGG is good but it's too whiny with a decent amount of overdrive/distortion applied, and the Evolution guitars sound like crap midi when distorted. I found that Joey Sturgis' Toneforge Menace is as good an amp sim to pair it with as any.ĨDio's Post Apocalyptic guitar isn't good. Sure, with the default settings it might have some use as a background sound, but upfront, especially when run through an amp sim? Ew. Prominy V-Metal sounds really thin, and I just could not get it to sound anything like the videos on Youtube. It always had this whiny sound to it, and nobody ever shares how their amp sim setup in order to replicate a proper sound. It just sounded bad when put through Peavey Revalver, and bad but not as bad when put through Bias FX. So yeah, Shreddage 2 for Rhythm, and Ample AME for lead, if metal is what you're aiming for.
