I got around to trying these today and I was extremely impressed Craig.  They are definitely ready to go sounds with a lot of character.  I'll be using these in a project real soon.  Great job..!

Thanks for making my day  
 
My goal was to make your lives easier by being able to just drag something in and have it sound good. We all love music and I wanted you to be able to expedite the song creation process. It took almost a year to do these.
 
But FYI - these are just the start. I have almost 40 effects that Cakewalk is currently figuring out how to integrate. For example there are humbucker-to-single-coil processors, several "stomp box" modules, and some ADT modules.
 
These are all processors I use in my own work, and I'm happy that Cakewalk's new membership model will allow me to share them with you!!
 
 

Craig, do you use these for processing already recorded (real) guitar or via some sort of vsti?
 
If real, are you starting with a clean signal or do you get as close to what you want before processing?
 
Thanks

I'm with you.
 
I could have worded it a little better but it was following a very late Saturday night

I did not know about that input echo thing!

Did you download the updated amps? I need to know if this is still a problem with the latest versions. Can anyone else comment on this?

Craig, I tried manually deleting the amps and re-installing them from the downloadable .exe setup. Same behaviour.

Hmmmm...I was hoping the updated versions fixed this. Did you download the latest versions that were released within the past day or two?

Do these get updated via the Command Center and how do you know if you have the old or new versions?

Anderton
Open the SONAR option and you'll see the various installers. Scroll all the way down, mine's the last one. If the light next to it is green, it means you've downloaded the latest version. If it's red, do the update.

"All Green" - Thanks!
 

I tried using the CA-X Amps and I'm having the same problem as some others are. They don't sound much different from the unprocessed signal other than being muddy. I launch the program from the Command Center every time so it should be up to date. I tried deleting CA-Amps folder, then the entire FX-Chain Presets folder and each time the Command Center never indicated that an update was necessary, even after a reboot. I reinstalled anyway and there was no apparent change in the plugin's sound whether the Input Echo was on or off. I, too, am using the 44.1 kHz sampling rate. I would rather not but I'm trying it out so I can use the USB output of my Digitech RP350 when I want to record that device's sound. The version showing in the Command Center for the Anderton FX Chain Collection is 1.0.0.8.

IMPORTANT: Note that you must have the Sontius FX, Cakewalk DirectX effects, and TH2 Producer (for Platinum, TH2 SONAR for Artist and Professional) installed on your system for the amps to work properly. Various elements of those plug-ins are "borrowed" for use in the amps.

cakewalk.comFrom country to metal, bass to funk, classic rock to futuristic, SONAR’s 16 new drag-and-drop amps aren’t about emulating existing amps—but creating idealized amps that can exist only in the virtual world. Get ready to change how you look at amp simulations.

 
Are these actual amp sims, or is this just a gussied up FX chain?
 

Both, actually. FX chains provide a framework, but there's also a lot of proprietary IP I developed for Gibson while working on the FBX guitar. I've been developing them for almost a year.
 
If you want to hear what they sound like, listen to the first four music videos on my YouTube channel. All the guitars and basses went through these sims. Also, most of the effects were ones I've designed (and will be made available to members). 

I checked out the guitar sounds in your videos. Those are some pretty tasty tones! This just gives me another thing to look forward too when I upgrade. Thanks for sharing them Craig!
