So, again I ask. Whatever happened to Acme Bar Gig's Head Case development?

Website is "gone".
 
I never really got into it that much because of the slightly winky behavior in 64-bit land.

It would seem he's not interested in revenue either.
 
I've now officially given up on this product/company/developer.
 
Heck, $30 gets me Grind Machine from Audio Assault if I want another avenue for amp/cab sims.

I will say that close to the end of release the main developer had some very serious health issues. He's lucky to still be around. It was very bad. And from that point on, product development was put on hold and when it started back up, it had to go at a much slower pace than before due to the developer's health.

It has taken a long.time for him to recover. If you look on FB, you can find Head Case there. They have adapted the social media business formula.

Friends,
 
My two rupees on this. Have to come out of another closet if not already exposed and branded as a fanboi of Ken's creations. Nothing I've played has breathed life into a howling guitar like HeadCase. Anyone got anything they think is better, I'm humble, pliable, open minded and here to learn.
 
There's open discussion/debate about websites vs social media on this site. This is a good global link any guitar player should monitor for updates, thoughts on the major players. AcmeBarGig is in there in the sea of options:

Grem is correct, Ken had life threatening health meltdown that would have killed or made the majority of us vegetables for life. Slowed progress down but the hint that HC 2 is in the works. Problem is, Ken is such a damn perfectionist it could be the second coming before HC 2 is out, but without a doubt worth the wait.
 
IMHO, the opening page of Headcase was extreme, square wave clip as bad as any of the major pro contenders except for maybe Scuffham S-Gear.
 
The beauty of HeadCase is below the hood in the incredible matrix of options to design, refine, publish custom heads. These heads were/are published as .jpg files which carry the programming parameters with the graphic. You select any of the hundreds and hundreds of user jpeg creations, load the graphic and a new head is born.
 
My opinion only, any credible review of HeadCase is morally justified after having dived under the hood and experienced what the potential is.
 
Afternote...
 
Crap, speaking of web pages, can't locate the head jpeg archive on virtual amp stash any more. What a collective loss if it is down.  I had several of my own killer heads under the "Outcast" series public available.
 
Oh well...
