Looking for Computer Guitar Effects program

[Joggingon]

I am looking for a guitar program so I can play my guitar through my computer. I plugged it into my Line In using a mini-plug adapter, and it works, but the sound is flat. I tried a download of Guitar FX Box 3 and it seems okay, but I was wondering if anybody has had experience with that or some other program.

Do you have one yourself? I'm curious about its integrated DI, have you tried it in front of an amp as a preamp for recording and using the amp as a monitor?

I highly recommend NI Guitar Rig. If you don't care so much for the amp models, you can for sure use the gate feature, reverb, delay, eq etc.

There is a 'Jazz Amp' in Guitar Rig, which is a digital recreation of the Roland Jazz Chorus. I never use the chorus on there, but you may like the amp itself, the eq, mic positioning, and dry/wet(stereo) effect.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

PS...if you are looking for more than just clean Jazz, then i DEFINITELY recommend this program. I own a real Orange amp, and I must say that the 'Citrus' recreation is not shabby at all!

The psychdelay is sweet for fusion/rock/experimental. I'm not quite sure what the exact algorithm is, but the delay on there is different from anything else I have tried(including my Boss pedal/looper). I prefer a clean delay for the most part, but i actually wished they made a digital pedal with the psychdelay algorithm.

The rotary effect is awesome too...don't be surprised when your guitar sounds like an organ.

Anyways, message me if you want to hear samples or have questions.

I tried Amplitube once and really disliked it, Guitar Rig is my favorite when it comes to modelling and effects, and I use it on anything(literally)

for example, ill layer two drum tracks, one playing through a guitar amp for example...and blend it with the clean signal for more depth.

Best wishes.

EDIT: for bass guitar, guitar rig is NOT even half as useful. Besides the effects, it doesn't have useful amp models or anything. In fact, if you must use it for bass, the guitar amps are superior to the ONE bass amp model that is included (imo)

Finally...if Guitar Rig doesn't seem too great, it could be the quality of your direct input. IF you are using an adapter, sounds like you aren't using a standard 24bit 96khz card. Nowadays you should be able to get one from M-audio for $100 or less.
