Have you tried Guitar Rig 7? The older models are not great, but the newer ECM (some proprietary machine learning amp capture modeling technology) models are good. There's a bunch of modulation modules, crossovers, full MIDI learn, etc. It's definitely not my go-to for traditional amp sounds, but for experimental stuff, it's the best thing out there. The interface is really good too. Very clear and easy to use.I wish you were kingWell, the truth is, most guitarists are about a day or two getting used to standing upright and find things like "the wheel" confusing and mysterious.
At this point I use Amplitube 5 Max the most, Native Instruments Guitar Rig and Helix Native on occasion, and all of those sound fantastic, have everything you're looking for, though Amplitube does use a skeuomorphic design style and while I do like the look at it, the fact that I have to look at a screen full of Vox inspired grill cloth graphic is plain and simply stupid. If I were king, I'd rework the UI so that you'd have your pedal board on top in a strip, amp next, then cab controls, and then post amp effects. Basically a more skeuomorphic version of Guitar Rig would be perfect for me. Call me old fashioned, but I do like having a somewhat photo realistic representation of something, because I've grown up with all the gear that's modeled so when I see it I know what to expect at a glance.
Aside from the skeuomorphic issue, I wish there was better MIDI and further modulation controls. I don't believe all guitar players are only satisfied with hardware-mindset tone-tweaking.
