Amplitube Metal vs Guitar Rig 5

I'm not a guitar player in search of the "perfect tone" but as a would be guitarist GR5 is kinda meh and Amplitube tends to suit me more.

Go figure?

Tone is very personal. I like AmpliTube Metal, but prefer cleaner tones, even from higher gain amps.

im also in favor of guitar rig,its interface seems a little clear to me VS amplitude.
with guitar rig,the presets are all listed visably in the lower half.
with amplitude they are in a drop down menu,so if you see a preset you like,you need to go back through parent files to find,where as GR5,there right there.

i also like the tone from GR5.
i do think amplitude has alot of nice things to offer.
i am indeed a fan of SVX.

I bought Amplitube Fender awhile back and today the Ampeg deal. Funny, I could never bond with Guitar rig or TH2. It's great that we have a lot of affordable options.

Another "go figure".  I find GR's interface clear as mud! The signal paths and modules in Amplitube make far more sense to me. Both are great bit of software but I really need to sit down and figure GR5 out if I am to progress beyond the presets.

ya,im willing to meet you half way on that man.  :)
i think as much could be said for me sitting down and learning a little bit more about amplitude.
i do agree with you about the signal paths.
heres what i think happens Glyn,we become compfortable with a plug in and digest it more and learn more about that plug in.
where as amplitude lists a lot of there amps in catagorys,in GR there cats like, "classic rock,jazz,metal and those sub catagory's
but because there always open and in front of you there easier to peel through looking for that right sound for the song.
 
but amplitude has some features that i like even more than guitar rig,and you know it is just personal taste here with me.
for TH2,i havent really sat down and learned about it much so i shy away from it.i rarely ever use it.
 
i think all 3 of these have really good tones,and ive also heard softubes metal amp room and vintage room are quite nice.
my guitarist bought the package(vintage,metal and bass).they have some great sounds.
but for bass,mark bass all the way here.what a kicken plug.

don't forget the free options in Poulin's plug-ins http://lepouplugins.blogspot.co.uk/ excellent for metal stuff...

mgh, I can't seem to get the Poulin to work, they just sound very distorted and I am not talking guitar distortion, I am talking like bad cable distorted or something. I have tried several times. Any tricks to it?

Amp sims are only good for enhancing a real guitar amp. The amp seems to lack transient response and amp sims have to much. Together they work well.

IMO, all amp sims are the same. They all sound bad by themselves. I use Pod Farm 2 becuase that's what I bought into from the get go. I've used GR, Amplitube and TH2 and to me, their all the same.
