The new MG-300 Modelling Guitar Processor from NUX is packed with an insane amount of features, and could give other budget multi-FX units a run for their money.

Neural Networks amp modelling is being teased by Mercuriall Audio in their latest video for a new mystery software amp plugin.
The best of both worlds? The Diezel VHX amp head mixes tube tones with digital IRs and DSP control, adds in a ton of features, modern technology and some serious valve amp pedigree. Whew!
VIDEO
Using their magical second-generation spectral modelling engine Sampleson has analysed the Fender Rhodes Suitcase 73 and squeezed it down to a 35MB virtual instrument.
If you're looking for a multi-role modelling amp that covers lots of scenarios, Thomann has a proposition for you: a full €100 off the highly successful Boss Katana Artist 100-watt combo.
VIDEO
The new Vox Cambridge50 emulates some classic amp tones using 21st century technology like NuTube and VET, delivering 50 Watts, more than enough for smaller gigs - and the price is competitive, too.
VIDEO
Mooer's new Hornet White is based on its existing Hornet amp, just in white and with different amp models. How will this well-priced 15W practise amp handle the competition from IK, Blackstar et al.?
The physical modelling in Xhun Audio's ResonHeart is based purely on the mechanical components of clockwork, air pumps, motors, pneumatic valves and complex resonators. It's a mechanical synthesizer.

IK's "Next Level" Hammond B-3X organ analog modelled virtual instrument developed in partnership with Hammond USA and Suzuki Music Corp is as authentic and real as it can possibly be.
VIDEO
Applied Acoustic Systems has updated their virtual analog synthesizer to Ultra Analog VA-3 by both streamlining the interface and doubling the power for two layers of split or stacked performance.
A brushed kit is something of a rarity in sample packs and drum instruments. Sampleson is looking to redress the balance while reproducing some of the technique that's unique to drumming with brushes.
VIDEO
Sampleson has shifted its spectral modelling gaze onto the electric pianos of the 1990s and offers up the aptly named Glassy combining classic DX and Roland digital sounds with a snuggly pad generator

UPDATE: Since this post was published, an image of what looks like a new Floorboard Profiler has been spotted on Instagram. And it looks like a whole lot of Profiler, in a floorboard format.

The "amp modelling vs tube amp" debate has been heating up of late: Have amp modellers finally won the war? Are tube amps out-dated? Don't write off tube amps just yet, we say...
VIDEO
Spectral Modelling is a curious thing. They sample an instrument and reduce it down to simple sine waves that recreate the authentic sound in a handful of MBs. The Model T is their latest electric piano.
VIDEO
Neural DSP has released a new virtual amp modelling plug-in, Archetype, built with help from Australian guitar virtuoso Plini that might have what it takes to stand out in a crowded market.
