BIAS FX is one of our favorite guitar amp simulators for Mac and PC. BIAS FX 2 is the latest build of the software and below you’ll find the complete BIAS FX amp list…
When it comes to amp simulators, BIAS FX 2 is currently my #1 favorite software for my computer. It’s cheap enough for every type of player, it is simple to use, and it features a myriad of amps and effects.
I switched to running my guitar through my computer a couple of years back. I have all my guitar gear in my office, I don’t have anymore room for amps or pedals, so I decided to go minimal and use digital amps.
I use BIAS FX for recording and when I’m practicing; I just plug my headphones in – or use a pair of Bluetooth set – and I can play around with HUGE sounds from my iMac’s display. And the best part? BIAS FX 2 is really cheap to buy – around $50 for the basic package.
And when it comes to amps for BIAS FX, you have an OCEAN of options, as you can see below…
