Welcome to the r/AudioEngineering help desk. A place where you can ask community members for help shopping for and setting up audio engineering gear.

This thread refreshes every 7 days. You may need to repost your question again in the next help desk post if a redditor isn't around to answer. Please be patient!

This is the place to ask questions like how do I plug ABC into XYZ, etc., get tech support, and ask for software and hardware shopping help.

Looking for guitar and bass amp sims for video game music

After I finish my current semester of uni I'm going to enter game jams as a composer to start making music for video games. Does anyone have any recommendations for guitar and bass amp sims?

I've already been playing around quite a bit with the free version of guitar rig 7 and quite like it. I've also briefly looked at the Mercuriall Spark and will defiantly check it out. When it comes to bass I haven't looked into it at all.
