With the overwhelming number of audio plug-ins for guitar and bass, it's reassuring to have guidance from a trusted source before making your choice.

Premier Guitar, a reputable authority, has recently published its comprehensive round-up of today's 14 hottest plug-ins for processing recorded guitar tracks. Topping the list are IK's highly acclaimed AmpliTube ⁠5 and TONEX.

Here are a few highlights and a link to the full article below:

AmpliTube 5 MAX v2 is a highly versatile plug-in with a fun, easy-to-use interface that includes an extensive collection of cabinets, microphones, and virtual recording environments.

One of my favorite setups for achieving a strong all-around rock tone is using AmpliTube's Tiny Terror with the in-app Fulltone OCD stomp.

TONEX MAX is another monster-tone tool to check out. One of my old live rigs consisted of running a Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Overdrive into an Orange CR60 1x12" 60-watt combo.

Using TONEX Capture, I modeled this duo, and now I've got it locked as a plug-in insert in my DAW. Pretty cool, right?
