What it is

- You get 47 stomps, 35 amps, 28 cabinets, 11 microphones, and 40 rack effects (183 total gear models)
- The signal chain supports up to 57 simultaneous models and 3 amps
- A built-in 8-track DAW, advanced looper, and Live Mode for stage performances round out the package
Who it's for
Guitarists and bassists who record through a DI and want studio-quality amp tones. At $29.99, this is particularly compelling for players who want a professional-grade amp sim without the usual price barrier.
