Glyn: I don't really want to waste my time searching the web(on a machine that isn't connected sans for a patching cycle) on sounds I may/may not use. When I am in song/sound mood, I don't want to check a store and see what they may have and then apply. I just want to dial in what is in my head at that time.
On the demo side, it really should be the full version instead of the empty shell host. Give me 30 days with at least the base program/ core components to decide. That would help me a great deal.
Perhaps I will contact IK to ask, but I still think they have a crappy way of doing business.

For heavy distortion I prefer the Juicy 77 vst and it's free.
If you like Juicy,you should try these : http://www.kuassa.com/downloads at the bottom of the page. Cheers Bob S.

Amplitube for the Soldano. It's very good. The Orange amps are also good but you only get one channel. The VHT is worthless. The gain knob is greyed out. Try before you buy. Only purchase what you need. Very clunky interface. Seems pretty cpu intensive.
Pod Farm is the best overall in my opinion. Great interface, 64 bit, you can insert individual components. It automates nicely within Sonar. Fairly inexpensive and you can purchase an iLok, hardware dongle or single machine version. The best Fender emulations for my tastes. Lots of bass amps. The pedals are all really good. Love the Chandler.
Guitar Rig has crazy routing capabilities. 64 bit. Decent interface. Lots of presets ordered by style and artist. As mentioned earlier, the registration process is a PITA. A good all in one plug.
GTR 3.5 is my least favorite. I also have Nigel with my UAD cards and Studio Devil that I never use.
My desert island plug would be Pod Farm. Most of the people I work with don't want to use amp plugins. Ever. But when I'm recording myself it's all I use.

Mike, I'm with you on that one.
The Chandler tunbe overdrive is the secret weapon of pod farm. it makes everything I try with it sound awsome.
Just for that, I couldn't do without podfarm

Pod Farm is the best overall in my opinion. Lots of bass amps.
But they all sound like some big-shot engineer from the eighties came in and decided they must have no real low end at all! The Bass knobs are set at 120 Hz where it should be 60 (or at least that's the way it sounds to my ears! My favorite for bass is the Studio Devil VBA Pro (don't really like their guitar amp models). It sounds tight and deep and has a very usable graphic EQ (like any good bass amp should)! Sven

Try that in a hotel room at three am when your next door neighbors are a bunch of 7 feet tall Russian athletes who look like they've been wrestling w/ grizzly bears since the tender age of 7. POD Farm suddenly sounds not just ok, but terrific. ;)

Are they called Grizzly Bears in Russia (or anything to that effect)? I come from the land of Polar Bears, but I wish we had a more fearsome name for them, like White Reaper Bear or Ice Slayer or something like that....

I like AcmeBarGig Head Case. It has some great tones. And with the amp builder you can get lots of tones if you like to tweak. It has the best dynamics out of GR 4, some of the Amplitube 3 custom hands I have tried.
I have learned recently that there are a lot of free amp sims that work very well. You will have to work with them like a real amp. But they have some out there thAt are more than worth it.

I was reading through this thread looking to see what everyone was into and also to see if anyone offered up the magic words.... Overloud TH2 !!! Is so far ahead of any other ampsim out there. Really! If you haven't tried it or heard it go to overlouds website!! or checkout this youtube demo http://www.youtube.com/wa...8oAkSk&feature=related

LOL Not sure they call them Grizzly bears, probably just subspecies of brown bears - but they do have both the "smaller" Grizzly-size ones and the enormous nearly Kodiac-size ones.

Brown bear sounds so mundane! Don't zoologists have any fantasy? ' My polar bear is dying out cause it can't find ice shelves to rest on. MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!!!! There! I've done my pc duty for the day...

I just demo'd Amplitube3 and that thing is smokin..didnt use to come in Sonar3 years ago? I was wondering is there a cheaper alternative than the Stealth pedal to control volume and wha fx. the 65 Fender Twin and the JC 120 were mind blowingly clean on my Epiphone Emperor II....HAPPY EASTER YAW..
