When it comes to recording guitar, we all know that getting the perfect tones can take forever. Deliberating over every last EQ tweak can get pretty tiresome, and some of the free amp plugins doing the rounds just aren’t up to the job. If, like the rest of us, you’d like access to one of the best guitar VST’s without breaking the bank, then you might want to head to Thomann where you can get AmpliTube 5 SE for free when you buy select audio interfaces (opens in new tab). The software usually sells for around £130.
Audio interfaces are a crucial part of home recording, especially for guitarists. Armed with even the cheapest of units, getting ideas down in your DAW becomes easy with dedicated jack inputs to plug straight into. There are loads of different options to choose from - some much more expensive than others - but they all work in very similar ways. If you’re not quite sure what features you need, we’d recommend taking a look at our best audio interfaces buyer’s guide to help you find the right one.
IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube 5 SE is a lighter version of the full-fat package, but still represents a formidable guitar amp & FX modeling system, offering 77 gear models to help you dial in your sound and record amazing takes every time.
