Free VST Amp/Speaker Simulators for Jazz?
Well, when it rains, it pours...all this potential change in light of
looping gear, and I just learned today that I acquired a house gig playing
traditional jazz at one of Boise's finest restaurants every Monday
evening.
The catch is we start this coming Monday! Yikes! Cripes! You know how
long
it has been since I played the Real Book? Frightening. It's basically
guitar
(me), bass, and percussion. Looks like I'll be woodshedding this weekend.
Anyway, I plan to do something rather untraditional in the jazz world,
which
is to do the gig with nothing but my laptop and VST system. I don't need
any
major effects, just reverb, chorus, and a touch of delay once in a
while....which I already have. I may loop some changes with Mobius once
in
a while as well. I have a PRS hollowbody, which has beautiful tone and
sounds wonderful just plugged direct into a board with no amp, but I may
want to experiment with some VST plugins for amp/speaker emulation.
Can anyone recommend a plugin that is inexpensive or free? I'm thinking a
nice Fender Twin, Roland Jazz Chorus, or Mesa Boogie Mark I tone might be
good.
