Buying a Scarlett 2i2 — what's the best amp sim software in 2026 for someone who just wants to play songs?

QUESTION

I play at home in an apartment, so everything goes through headphones. Ordering a Scarlett 2i2 4th gen and AKG K371 this week. Now I'm stuck on software and could use some real-world advice.

Is there anything in 2026 that actually has a good library of song-oriented presets, now that ToneCloud is dead? So basically my question is what is the best amp software right now to buy.

Thank you all :)
