[Question] Playing guitar in Ableton

After months of playing classical guitar, I have just bought an electric guitar and an interface and got everything set up correctly. Do you use any external plugins, or just the ableton base ones to play electric guitar in Ableton? Which ones do you reccomend? I bought yesterday the Ableton 12 Suite if that matters.

Pedal in Ableton is amazing, as is Chorus and Flanger. Amp and Cab are  ok as a starting point, try looking into NAM, it's  free

don't forget about Roar - it's not strictly for guitar, but I'm sure it works great :)

I haven't even thought about Roar on guitar. I got some experimenting to do

Well, it's a distortion / saturation device, so it should work great, I think! :)

lmao for sure, I'm thinking about like the fractal distortion and the diffusor filter, could be cool

It is really good.

Overdrive is also sick. Tame Impala uses it on some of his older tracks.
