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!

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.

I checked those out and found that the Cakewalk DX was corrupt in my X1, X3 and Platinum versions. Adding some of the Cake DX to a track FX bin, including Amp Sim, crashed whichever version I was using. I reinstalled all three versions, with updates, and while the Cakewalk DX seems okay now, the CA-X Amps still don't work for me. I have reached 110% of my aggravation limit so I guess I'll stick to GR4 or TH2 for now.
