First of all, take a look at Waves GTR3 at less than half the price. It's twice the plugin this is. Don't like the interface, and the sounds were so-so. But the biggest down side to this plugin is it's a cpu killer. I mean, it will suck your system dry after only a couple instances. Don't bother. Both GTR3 and Pod Farm are much easier on the system and offer more, especially GTR3.

I am using this with sonar 7 producer as well as a standalone in a newer highend laptop with the guitar rig's controller and edirol interface for my monitors.I am also using using EMG pickups and I can say that this product can take the place of normal gear if you are using a highend laptop and studio monitors like I am. I went as far as to compare this product against my mesa triple rectifier and guess what happened? It sounded almost exactly the same through my studio monitors!!!! Aside from great sounding metal the normal effects are much higher quality than the guitar rig's. This program is much easier to use and requires less time to get right provided you are savy with effects like I am. I have had NO latency issues or crashing problems in sonar whatsoever!!!

I love this software, because it allows me to get all of the sounds out of my head through my speakers. It has allowed me to experiment with pedals like envelope filters that I probably never would have used otherwise. Contrary to most, I think everything in this software sounds great. Will it replace all of your studio guitar-recording gear? Most likely not, but it makes things more convenient, especially when you factor in the ability to save presets that encompass every setting, right down to separate noise-gate settings. I only have two problems with this software: it takes technical know-how to get it to work very low-latency AND low-noise, especially if you have non-ASIO sound hardware. But if you know what you are doing and are willing to work to get it to work, the sounds this can make for you are wonderful. My other problem is, if you're using this as a VST processor in something like Cubase, etc., it uses a good deal of processor power and has a habit of getting my computer to crash, so I record while monitoring it, then turn it off until I'm doing my final mastering. Lastly, I think this costs too much, but considering the ridiculous amount of features, it's good. Better than Line 6, but only if you take the time to make it work well.

This software is at the bottom of the barrel. Good luck getting it work properly, getting the IK site work, or getting any tech support. THIS COMPANY IS THE WORST I HAVE ALMOST EVER SEEN AT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT. My experience goes back 29yrs. Buy GR3 or 11 or anything else, believe me, it will not only sound better, but it will actually work as represented. Good luck to you guys!

If you don't have a way to record your guitar this just might be for you. You can produce good sounds from this. It is fun to mess around with all of the fx and amps. You can make some pretty good recordings with it. I get some noise too, I haven't tried the asio4all fix, though I just thought some of the amps were noiser than others, maybe I was wrong. Guitar Rig 3 is a bit better sounding and easier to use, but Amplitude is a still decent piece of software that I return to over and over again for certain sounds.
