Practice Amp Tone in a plug-in?

[fretlessman71]

I have a Fender Bassman 25 - one of the "kick back" shaped ones from ~20 years back.

I find it to be the best sounding amp I've ever heard at any volume. Clear, punchy, great signal/noise ratio, exceptional loudness without huge volume (with the volume knob set to 1!!). Not a drive-tone amp at all, but seems to give back MORE than what you put in somehow. Doesn't clip at all. There seems to be a built-in limiter that doesn't engage until you push it past 4 or so, and by then the neighbors 2 floors up are paying you a visit for the noise. It is all but impossible to get a bad sound out of this amp.

This needs to be turned into a plug-in, but I don't know how. I have a lot of bass plug-ins, from a REDDI knockoff to all of the Helix stuff and many more. (Maybe I will work on a Practice Amp preset for the Helix...)

Maybe one of you knows of an existing plug-in that does this already?

Sounds like investing in a profiler or learning how to capture IRs is in your future

This looks WAAAAY beyond my pay grade. I have never written a line of code in my life. Is it a lot easier than the webpage suggests?

Yes - easy to use. As easy as Helix.
No coding is required to use it.
Many videos on how to play it.
