DSP Rig
Les Paul Tone — Plugins & Amp Sims
His own Gibson Les Paul through pioneering multi-track home recording setups — Les Paul's invention of overdubbing and the solid body guitar itself laid the foundation for all modern electric guitar.
Les Paul's signature versatile tone — built around classic amp voicings — can be replicated in the box using modern amp sim plugins and IR cab loaders. This page maps the full DSP signal chain: guitar sim → amp sim → FX → IR, so you can dial in that character without physical gear.
