Previously, I was having a hard time getting my old Strat to sound decent through TH2.  Here is another great reason to update!

I briefly tried to test out those tones yesterday, but was only able to see (not hear) Craigs Presets via the FX chain.
 
Do I need to open up TH2 and then load one of Craigs presets? or can someone please tell me the exact path to load up these sims? 

The only place to find them is in the Browser under "audio FX". You can drag one into the Pro Channel. Here's the path: "C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\FX Chain Presets\CA-X Amps Producer\CA-X Amps ReadMe.rtf" 
Oh yeah, is your input monitor switch ON?

I plugged my guitar in, made sure it was making a noise in Sonar and dragged over one of the new FX into the FX bin and different noises came through my monitors. It all seemed so simple

I was quite impressed with them apart from "Sparkle" as it wasn't all that sparkly.

Grum.

Thanks guys!! I'll give it a shot tonight.
 
(looks like I was waaaay to brief with what I tried.)

How are you guys hooking your guitars up to Sonar?  I've been micing my amp - but it sounds like you guys are putting a direct line into the computer.  I'm still new to this...
 
I was looking at something like this - but it sounds like you guys are doing something different:

+1   Thanks for your time Craig!!!   Useful with tweaks to taste of course.
 
Mike, I do both depending on the song or time of day.

I plug my guitar directly into my audio interface (Focusrite2i4) and then use whatever amp sim (Amplitube 3, GR5 etc..) I have. Of course there are plenty of USB powere audio interfaces out there, but I can highly recommend Focusrite products.
 
Mike, what do you use for an audio record/playback? 

I have an M-Audio M-Track Quad.

I just tried plugging my guitar into the interface and didn't get anything...  I added an audio track and set the input the same was I would put in a mic.  Any settings I need to switch?

I just tried it with Audacity and the guitar went right in...  Must be something in Sonar.  This would be awesome if you guys could help me figure this out!
