I’ve just taken up playing electric guitar after around 10 years break so very much ‘out of the loop’ when it comes to Guitar effects.
What I want to buy is something whether it be a physical unit / software / App that can, to a good standard of accuracy, model specific Artist and songs as a pre-set that I can very quickly activate.
For example: Brian May - bohemian rhapsody
Gn’R- Sweet Child of mine, Nirvana - teen spirit, etc etc....(you get the idea)
ive seen an old amp - Fender G Dec for which you can buy SDcards which replicated the exact sound for specific songs and artists such as listed above.
I dont have the knowledge edge or interest I experimenting trying to ‘find that sound’ just want something that I can easily click a pre-set to model sounds. More than happy to buy such a pre-set that has been programmed by a professional but I’m so out of touch with all the latest gear in the market, I would really appreciate any of your experience and advice on this. Thanks

And the amp, guitar and any pedals you might use.
I think I’m narrowing it down to software effects. As amazing as the axe fx2 sounds, whoa....that’s pricey.
I owned a pod 2 many many years ago and liked line 6 products. I also see they have a Custom Tone online menu where guitarists can share patches for specific songs.
As fir AmpliTube, from what I gave read it’s now on the 4th edition but has also lost the sharing of patches which is the opposite of what I’m looking for.
Essentially I just want to play along to backing tracks with as clues to the original tone I can get (within reason) without all the experimentation. As it stands, I’m leaning towards sonething from Line 6 software to even Revalver 4 which analysts actual tones....thoughts please!?!?
I can’t thank you all enough for the knowledge & experence you’re sharing with me.
More than happy to spend a couple £hundred for what I want but want to make sure I spend once & spend right the first time.
Whilst i’m on, anyone recommend quality backing tracks?
Or katana if you want an amp. I think katana has an aux in, emulated headphone out and usb audio but others on here can confirm. It also has variable power out down to 0.5 watts. Worth a look?
Boss tone central has the kind of presets tones you're looking for. No experience of it personally....
