Amplitube 2 vs. Guitar Rig 3?

The best Acoustic modeler I have come accross is the one on my Digitech GNX3000. This is hardware based modeling though. Quite frankly I was very surprised by the fact the GNX3000 had such a good acoustic modeler, as for the most part their other renditions of Marshalls, Boogies and other amps usually lack the bottom end needed to get that push pull of a tube driven stack.

I can say the same thing about the Amplitube modeler. I don't much care for it. There other's here who use the GR3. I haven't as of yet. I do on the other hand use the Line 6 GearBox modeler and have been very satisfied with the tones I can get out of it. They sound much truer to the real thing than most modelers. And in the Case of the Line 6 stuff you buy what you need and it is more reasonably priced. The downside is you have to use one of their interfaces to make it all work.

The Kiss, I've never used Guitar Rig so I can't help there and I've only got the LE version of Amplitube which shipped with GT, which personally I don't care for at all!

I'm afraid I'm all Line 6 here TK - similar to Doc I use a TonePort with both the Gearbox software and the Gold bundle which includes the excellent plug-in version of Gearbox.

There's a pretty good free VST plug that gives a 'dry' electric guitar a reasonably convincing acoustic feel - click on THIS LINK to download the NUSofting DeepBoard - it's certainly worth a try



Hope that helps

Just to clear up any confusion. I happen to use the Line 6 GearBox Plugin rather than the stand alone ported into Sonar 7.
