Great article! I wish I had the ability to use a real rig with an amp and pedal board. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and don't have the space to store any gear, and it's also pretty loud to have an actual rig. Instead I just use amp simulators like Bias FX. It's pretty decent for my purposes anyway. Have you ever tried using amp sims before? Would love to know your thoughts on amp simulators and effects pedals compared to the real thing.
