TSE X50 version 2 is a complete suite for a quick guitar tone setup for rock and metal. It's using one of the most advanced modeling algorithms presented in a commercial plugin to this date, offering a real-time simulation of the electrical network in the stompbox/amp with acceptable cpu usage for modern processors.
...Pod Farm 2.5 Platinum, and I have some money left (around CAD$200). So torn among BIAS Professional, Peavy ReValver4 and TSE x50 :facepalm: I don't djent; my main focuses are metalcore and death metal. I could also buy Joey Sturgis's Producer Bundle.
