I like the brown amp and the Vox imitation. Vox is the lone holdout in amp sims and Logic does a nice job of emulating the Vox sound. I have a simple process for this where I make sure my input signal is at the right level before putting any amp presets on the channel. Then, if the channel preset turns out to be at a hot level with the plugins, I insert a Gain plug at the end of the signal chain to get it right for mixing. This way I leave all the plugins that make up the sound at their settings, and adjust the level at the end. Its just been a simple way for me to use presets.
Thanks Steve. I agree with you that putting a Gain plugin first somehow affects all the tonal qualities and goodness of the preset. Many times a guitar preset in LPX will have several plugins that make up that sound, and often times the final output level of these plugins might leave you with a signal level thats too hot for mixing purposes, even if you recorded with the proper level.

Although I dont find all of LPXs guitar amp sims to be spot on for every amp, there are some very useable presets that are my go to staring points for a Vox amp vibe or some Fender amp sims. The Sweet Boutique and Indie Scorcher are a few of my favorites in this category.
Some users suggest feeding two chains of amps and effects from buses, but to play without annoying latency, it is necessary to engage Logic's Low Latency button, and this disables bus sends as well as plug-ins that cause long delays when active. (If you can't see this button, go to Customise Control Bar and Display by clicking and holding on the down arrow at the right of the bars/beats window in the transport area, then tick the Low Latency box to add it). After recording, click off the Low Latency button and all your tardy plug-ins and buses come back to life. Using buses is no problem if you are treating a dry guitar track you've already recorded, but if you want to hear something like the final sound as you record, bus sends are probably not the way to go.
The Rotor Cabinet plug-in is great for adding a bit of warmth to your sound when set to its 'Brake' mode.Another useful trick that you can use if the finished guitar sound still comes across as too hard or edgy is to insert Logic's Rotary Speaker plug-in, but set the speed control to its Brake position so there's no modulation. This adds a lovely warm character to the sound. You can experiment further by changing the rotary speaker type in the box just above and to the left of the picture of the speaker. They all sounds very different, though I usually find that one of the the first three sounds best. If you're an old hippy like me, turn the speaker motor back on and enjoy the swirls.
I use latest logic pro x.
Set up audio channel and linked to midi guitar 2 as fx. Added 2nd track software instrument. As per web instructions. This all works fine and I get the sounds I have selected.
I am having similar problems with Logic X (10.5.1) on a MacBook Pro 10.14.6. Standalone works fine but in Logic the audio for the guitar is there on a track but there is no midi action happening with the Audio unit (loaded as a plugin). I had trouble downloading the trial version so I just bought the app a few hours ago.
With some help from my friends on the Screen Composers Guild of Canada discuss list I managed to get the application working in Logic. This information may have been on your site and I missed it but, what made it work was to open the Midi Guitar 2 application, setup the tool as a midi monitor (to make sure the fault was not my Focusrite), set the instrument to no instrument, open logic, create a software instrument set to midi channel 1 (tried Kontakt and Spitfire) and it works. I had previously set Logic audio preferences buffer size to 128 - it tracks better at 64.
If you're a guitar or bass player, Logic Pro X goes out of its way to make you feel appreciated and inspired to jam. Logic Pro has a customized workflow made especially for guitar players. Plus, you'll find dozens of stellar-sounding special effects plug-ins that can feed even the most tone-starved guitarist.
Digital audio is here to stay. Don't let the analog purists get to you. It's illogical to compare "pure sound" to "impure sound" because there can't be a clear winner. Who gets to decide what sounds better and what gets to be labeled pure? The listener doesn't care if the guitar they're hearing was manufactured in the summer of 1957. And they really don't care if your guitar tone comes from hardware or software.
Tone is a deeply personal thing. In addition, as you're being uncompromising in the pursuit of great tone, don't forget that there's no such thing as perfection. Even if you have the magical guitar rig from the land of mojo, you'll want it to sound better. Bring some flexibility to your pursuit and you'll enjoy the journey.
When you create a new guitar or bass track, the Pedalboard plug-in is added to the track's channel strip in addition to the Amp Designer plug-in. As you can see in the figure, Pedalboard looks so cool that you might find yourself wanting to put your laptop on the ground to stomp on all the pedals. Please don't.
Ample Guitar M Lite II is a high-quality free guitar plugin I often use to sketch acoustic guitar parts in new songs. It offers excellent realism and sound quality, although it is limited to fingerpicked articulations (the full version also includes picked and strummed notes).
Despite being limited to fingerpicked tones, Ample Guitar M Lite II lets you use multiple articulations, including sustain, palm-mute, hammer on/off, and popping. You can also adjust the fingering noise and resonance. These are two of my favorite Ample Guitar M Lite II features, as they allow me to create expressive and authentic guitar parts using MIDI.
The alternate tunings and capo logic the software offers are another game-changer. I can easily alter the tuning to my preference and adjust the capo to fit the specific performance requirements, such as solo or chorus sections.
Ample Guitar M Lite II also includes humanization presets. You can use these to apply subtle imperfections to the MIDI-triggered notes, resulting in a more natural performance. I always apply some humanization to virtual guitar parts as they add to the realism.
Monster Guitar is a free guitar VST designed to help you sketch new guitar parts from your songs. It was developed by Agus Hardiman, who also created useful plugins like Monster Piano and Monster Synth.
Monster Guitar puts a basic but valuable set of tone-shaping tools at your disposal. Users can fine-tune the tone, envelope, and reverb parameters, which I found more than enough for editing placeholder guitar parts.
Monster Guitar offers a range of guitar styles, from sparkling cleans to crunching distortions. I found that the plugin has enough flexibility to fit a variety of music styles, from rock to reggae, pop, and indie.
Having used the Monster Guitar as the guitar backdrop in several projects, I loved its flexibility and instant playability. Its ease of use and decent sound quality make it a worthy addition to your guitar plugin arsenal.
Quiet Music incorporated an array of guitar pedals into the recording chain during the guitar sampling process, resulting in some unique guitar tones. We can access those tones as six presets covering clean and distorted guitars.
I liked how most of the presets sound great for strumming guitar chords in the background of a track. Solaris GTR Lite also works fine for casual solo parts but lacks the expressiveness and articulations needed for more complex performances.
Another thing I like about Sapphire Guitar is how the interface lets you adjust the volume of five texture layers separately. I often program a MIDI guitar sequence and then use this feature to create the perfect tone.
Vinyl Guitar by Echo Sound Works brings acoustic guitar tones to your DAW. It is one of the nicest-sounding virtual guitars on this list, especially if you want to use it for guitar arpeggios and acoustic guitar solos.
I also like how Vinyl Guitar sounds when the attack is softened using the included AR envelope. This type of tone is perfect for soft stringed pads and nostalgic lo-fi guitar parts for use in hip-hop and pop music.
One of the top choices among these is the Ample Guitar M Lite II by Ample Sound. It emulates the sound of a Martin D-41 acoustic guitar with impressive accuracy. This plugin is suitable for acoustic and fingerstyle guitarists.
For those interested in electric guitar sounds, Monster Guitar offers some good-sounding presets. LABS Electric Guitars is another unique offering, delivering electric guitar tones with plenty of character.
Nice compilation, but I am surprised you did not list an excellent, realistic guitar, the lite/free version of Stratus,
Shreddage Stratus by Impact Soundworks. It is absolutely amazing, no compromise on quality here, and totally free.
When you first open it, it will be blank. There are several ways you can load presets. The first way is to click on the BROWSE button. This will allow you to download sample libraries from the Decent Samples store:
One of the first guitar tracking/mixing techniques I learned was to double track the rhythm parts. Especially great for hard rock/metal, tracking two unique performances of a section and panning them left and right creates a massive sound.
This pedal is a great value at an excellent price, and I strongly recommend it for my recommendation list. Instead of humbuckers, you should use single coil electric guitars for best acoustic performance. Acoustic guitars, on the other hand, produce thin, piercing frequencies that are closer to humbuckers than single coils, which produce natural warm and bassy frequencies. The Blue Cat Re-Guitar Plug-in employs impressive acoustic simulator modeling technology to transform your existing guitar pickups into new ones that sound completely different. The Re-Guitar Plug-in from Blue Cat includes a selection of acoustic preset (Jumbo, Vintage, and Modern). This program is the only one of its kind, and with most acoustic simulators available in a single stompbox pedal or digital multi-effects processor, it is the only one I know of that can be used in conjunction with an acoustic simulator plugin. This recording technique allows you to record your acoustic guitar on the guitar and then play it back on your electric guitar.
