Anyone tried any decent ones?
I'm looking for the easiest possible way to record steel and 6-string electric, and I think an amp sim is the way to go. Ive triedSimulanalog, the JCM900 surprisingly sounded more "steely" than the Twin, but not quite what I'm looking for.
Thanks much,
James Collett

James, it's a little pricey but probably worth the quality if you're really into it.

GTR3 has some hardware so you can connect your guitar to the computer thru a 3rd party.

Once you're connected you can basically use virtual models of many classic amps. It also give you enough room to manipulate settings to achieve the sound you're looking for.

I do have this program but I haven't tried my Steel on it yet, but it does look to have enough options for even the pickiest pedal steel player (steel players are very picky!)

Cool, thanks!
I'll take a peek at all suggestions.
I just want to eliminate all unnessesary processing between guitar and computer- plus, I can alter my sound if I don't like it! Wink

Sweetwater currently has the software only version of Guitar Rig 3 for $199.
Great review and comparison to GTR 3 in a recent Guitar Player mag.
I've messed with Guitar Rig 2 before and it was great.
