They say behind every good guitarist is a good amp - but with Positive Grid slashing the price of their celebrated guitar software, is it now time to ditch the amp and embrace the cyber sorcery that is digital modeling? Practice amp titans Positive Grid has just launched their Guitar Month Sale, and it sees hearty discounts applied to a range of their most popular amps, accessories, and software - including a whopping $360 off Bias Platinum.

Now, as you'd expect, there are a plethora of deals available in the Guitar Month Sale, with money off the effortlessly cool Steve Vai signature Spark Mini and a generous $50 off the Spark Live, but it's the software discounts that have me wondering if I should finally give up my amp.

Currently, you can score an impressive $135 off both Bias FX 2 and Bias Amp 2, as well as $45 off the doom-bringing Omnyss and $153 off the FX 2 Metal Edition.

So, if you've been on the fence about going digital and swapping your amp for your laptop, then now might just be the best time to do it.

First and foremost, I'm a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I'm a firm believer that most of the world's problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. Before writing about guitars for a living as a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar Player, I worked in music retail for 7 years, giving advice on guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems. I also have a passion for live sound; I'm a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland.
