I've been playing around with it for couple of weeks now. The modeling and overall sound is much improved. Really impressed with it compared to earlier versions. The Custom Shop I thought was kinda cool... seem weird at first, like XBOX live or something lol... but now I think it's cool as sh**. For an amp sim is g'dam in depth and flexible. I like that the free version is fully functional too. Big thumbs for IK.

Big thumbs up!!

Love the new IK stuff and it is going to get better!

Thanks guys! We got bigger things on the way too! T-Racks update is just around the corner with some new "surprises"...

Hmm, Obi, would you recommend someone wanting to jump onboard the T-Racks train jump now or wait...  I realize you probably can't say too much...  Wishing I hadn't missed all the specials a couple months back...

Do you work for IK? If so are there any plans for a DAW in the future? I hope so. Seems like IK is on the right track.

Is it possible to record a clean signal on a line 6 pod and then apply Amplitude to it?  Is this an optimal signal chain?

yes, that's a workable scenerio.  amplitube is just a plugin - like any other FX that goes in the FX bin, so you apply it after the recording anyway, even if you use it to monitor the recording, it's not actually "printed" on the recording and can be changed or even deleted if desired.
 
you should be able to record clean on the pod, too.  just don't use any of the FX on the pod!

Yes I do.
Our biggest plans DAW wise are mainly with our iOS apps and having the built in recorder.
Thanks! :)

Yes. @Beagle is right.

@ IK Obi- why does the new authorization manager use up another authorization on the same machine? I was encouraged to use it on my existing products. Did I just get screwed out of another authorization? I re-registered all my products like an idiot. 

I had to reinstall Amp 1 after a hardware failure and when I tried to register with my original digital ID/Reg code it wouldn't work. I had to open a support ticket and they sent DL links to  my IK account for the latest Amp1 version and also Amp 3 , SampleTank and TRacks. It also listed in my account how many authorizations I had left... that kinda freaked me out because I didn't know there was a limit to how many times you could authorize.
