That said, simulated amps still do take up space, it just isn’t physical. Once you factor in mic stands, cables - did you just shudder? - it can become a minefield for tangling, tripping or just generally getting frustrated and breaking things of your own accord. Most hobbyists can’t afford to shell out thousands of dollars per classic amp to create an army of amplifiers to do their creative bidding, yet this is something that many amp libraries offer at a fraction of the price and space.Īmps, especially if you are using a cabinet and head instead of a combo amp (where the speaker and amplifier are contained within the one box) can take up a whole lot of room. Unless you’re rich, professional or just a better planner than I am, I doubt you have more than 2-3 amps and certainly not enough space to comfortably fit and eventually record more than 5.Īnd with that, you have it - the easiest justification for simulating an amp. If you’re an artist with a bedroom in your studio (yes, not the other way around) look around right now.
