I knocked out a quick jam test using Guitarix.VST3 on bass and three guitars using the presets I programmed in the stand alone version. Bass is through an Ampeg SVT model. Rhythm guitars are through Mesa Boogie clean and crunch presets, and the solo is through a Boogie lead preset.

https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14557389

It's titled "Shorts" because it was played on my short scale Gretsch Jet bass, and short scale Ibanez GIO guitar. Also, it's very short. The drums are Superior Drummer 2 played from my V-Drums. No other FX were used on the three guitars and bass.

Thanks Poly. I've been wanting to do a test recording in song format using the new short scale Ibanez GIO guitar since I bought it. Having Guitarix as a plugin in REAPER gave me the kick in the ass I needed to actually do it. :)

Thanks Poly!

I am now convinced that the 3/4 scale guitar could easily be used for recording real projects. It's the funnest guitar to play too. I jammed for an hour on it out on my patio yesterday with my little rechargeable practice amp in my shirt pocket.

No reason it shouldn't!
When an instrument is comfortable to play and you end up gravitating to it,
the playing kicks up a bit.

Sorry for the late reply - yep it sounds good!
This is a good amp sim - I'll keep my eye out for a Windows version.

There seems to be a vst3 version, but I'm not sure if it's actually for Windows.
I don't want to get involved in "building" or compiling - I just want to drag a vst3 file to the
right folder ;-)

I'll wait until it's further along the developing road... ;-)

It's kind of like my little Ludwig acoustic drum kit. When I traded in my big live drums and bought the real small Ludwig kit, my plan was just to have some real drums to jam on, and I never had planned to use them for recording, but then one day I did a test recording, and rest is history.

Same thing with the short guitar. I bought it specifically to jam on, but now I've gone and done a test recording using it . . . <GGG>

I'm real impressed with Guitarix, and I'm not easily impressed with virtual amps.

I had the same take, in that I didn't want to attempt compiling it myself, but came across a thread on another forum where the guy who created the VST3 version had a downloadable version already compiled, so I grabbed it.

It's usually an art form to figure out where to download things on these github sites ;-)

Yeah, I looked over the page for the Windows version and didn't find anything but source code. It was on a forum where someone pointed me to that a ready to go compiled version was, but since then the developer of the Linux version has setup a "latest version" link on his GitHub page. Maybe the Windows developer will do something similar at some point. If I see a link to a compiled Windows version, I will definitely post it here.

Great!

Meanwhile - I wouldn't get too involved with it until there is an easy to get to place to stay up to
date with it (I'm sure it's still developing...)

Sorry Rink, unlike my main music page with complete songs, I only leave my tests up a few weeks on the "StudioTests" page and then take them down for whatever the next test is.

LOL!

Here's a brand new test of the Bigsby B5 tremolo I just installed on my Epiphone SG followed by a couple tests recorded in REAPER on a Raspberry Pi.
