Cool electric guitar plugins for LMMS ?

[emanuelepepi]

I'm looking for some cool electric guitar plugins for LMMS, for lead guitar, solos and muted/other effects which are typical in heavy metal music?
I've tried with ZynAddSubFX, messing around with distortions on dist.guitars but I don't get the desired result.
An example of what I'm looking for is the sound of guitars in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjCMu8rGtXM
I hope I'm not dreaming and some of you can help me find out how to render those same guitars with the good old lmms...

I shared my hard-rock guitar on LSP, you should be able to find those
Otherwise i highly recommend Synth1, where you will find -tons- of free guitar presets!
I used mine here:

let me know if you are interested

How real do you want the guitar to sound? I've heard some pretty realistic guitar sounds from some of the high-end commercial guitar VST instruments, but haven't been able to get anything close using free VST instruments. If you're good at synthesizing, you might be able to get something good out of Synth 1 like musikbear suggests.

For now, for any guitar stuff, I've decided to record real guitars, personally. Synthesis just isn't cutting it for metal guitars for me. Bass guitar I haven't decided on & I'm not a bass player, so...

yeah I know, but also you need pro equipment and eq knowledge to master guitar good, I'm looking for a synth which makes me input the notes like the other synths... + the effects I mean: when you place your hand on the base of the chords and play the note and it makes that "muted" sound (I know it sucks as explanation, but I think you figure it out). About tapping or other effects I really don't care as I'm not a big fan of "virtuous" guitar (like prog... I'm just trying to make some metalcore music).

The Amplesound stuff is very good (http://www.amplesound.net) but I don't know how well it works in LMMS...and it's not cheap.

But the real trouble with synthesising guitars is that everybody knows exactly what real ones sound like so people tend to be really critical. As musikbear says try some of the presets available for Synth1 and see if you can find one you like. Don't forget that you can still add extra FX after the main synth tone...some distortion and a bit of chorus/flanger will probably help.

When I was playing around with synthesized guitars, I tried a couple things to get open & palm-muted sounds in a single track. I thought about just doing them in separate tracks, but that sounded like it would be harder to deal with. The 2 solutions I came up with both used automation to switch between sounds.
The first used a soundfont that had both sounds as separate patches, then I used automation to switch patches when I wanted to switch between open & muted.
The second used the Suburban Guitarist VST that has a Palm Mute control, which I used automation to switch between open & muted. For this one I had to add distortion & amp simulation via other VSTs to get the right sound. I never found quite the right combination of FX to get the sound I wanted, but it's possible. Suburban Guitarist & the FX VSTs I was using are all free.

those are cool, where can I find them?

On our LSP
https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=browse&category=Presets
here in the preset category
https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=7828

But that will only give you a 'fish' here is how to drag them from the pond:

1. A guitar always decay! It may take really long, but it does!
2. Always use a clip-plugin
3. always do this:

That is how you set the 'tone-color' of the instrument
As a good startpoint, take one of the guitars from the native 3oc folder, and go through that process, that is fun and it is really rewarding, to make a great instrument.

hmmm.. I don't think that's what I was looking for, but thanks anyway
I mean, I made a better guitar sound (closer to what I need), but it's good only for solos and lead guitars section.
I wanted a "muted" trash guitar for really rythmic tempo. I can split the notes but it doesn't feel "real" enough

I mean the guitars from the intro of this, that same effect on guitars..
