TH2 Producer for $79.00

$79 seems like a good deal for the full version of TH2. If I did not already buy it last year for $99, I would pick it up now and I own the full versions of Guitar Rig 4 and 5 too.

Where are you seeing it at $79.00?
Give us the link please?
I'll go for it at that price.
Overloud is showing it at $197.00

A question for those that own it.
How do you think it compares with Guitar Rig?
I have it, and Guitar Rig sounds kind of sterile to me, even when it's suppose to be simulating tubes. I bought IK multimedia's Total WorkStation3 because the price was so cheap in getting everything including their effects and Amplitube 3, but so far, all the effects and Amplitube crash every time I try to open it.
So this seem like it would be nice and seemless to integrate into Sonar X3 (and I'm assuming as a stand-alone too?)

So how would you rate TH2 full with those other two?

I also think $79 is a good price.
 
I have no idea where the OP gets most of his assumptions -- especially about Guitar Rig (Did CW hand these out when I wasn't paying attention?  I'm only aware of the GR4 LE version that was bundled wtih X1.  All that said, owning one still has nothing to do with the other). 
 
And $7.90 is an "equitable price"?  Someone is apparently spoiled from buying tablet/phone apps at a few bucks a pop.

BB...I use amplitude 3 all three time with no issues...if ur running 64 bit, make sure u've updated to 64 bit amplitude...
 
Also, add a Sig in ur user profile that includes ur system specs... 
 
I AGREE That $79 is a very fair price for the depth of the rig...it's very nice... this isn't an iphone/android marketplace!
 
Equals amplitude in my book, with each having sweet spots. GR4 is thin to me but luv it for bass /guitar effects...all r great... and sculptable.
 
If I were u, if get amplitude working first... no reason it shouldn't!

TH2 sounds different than Guitar Rig to me and as sort of a general rule I really like the high gain settings over Guitar Rig. The branded Randall and Brunetti models sound really nice. Guitar Rig on the other hand seems to have more versatile fx. I think they complement each other well that way, and I'm not disappointed with spending my 79 bucks for the TH2 upgrade in December. I didn't specifically buy Guitar Rig but I had used it before and it came with Komplete 9 which I also bought in December. Again, they do different things well.

In a google quest for the ultimate amp sim Scuffham S-Gear came up and after trying it out I had to have it. It's by far the most limited of them all but it sounds very inspiring to me and when I turn up the volume a bit, it feels like playing through an amp. I don't usually get that feeling from the others, although TH2's high gain Randall is close. Scuffham is "only" 99 bucks. There are not very many options but they all sound great, and not unimportantly, the presets are instantly playable (for me in direct opposition to Guitar Rig).

All of it purely my opinion. Scuffham has a fully functional demo. TH2 is already kind of its own demo inside Sonar. So try them all and go with what seems to suit you best.
