More than welcome! Wow, I can't believe an old guy from Macon,Ga. in the States was able to help a nice guy in England. This forum is un-believable.

Ha ha who ever said I was nice , thats the great thing about the forums...distance is irrelevant, and so is time zone I guess...
 
and that picture of me is way old...I haven't played live for 20 years now

Thanks for the feedback Sidroe !

My pleasure, Peter!

Microsoft Security Essentials went on for ever!

Glad to help royarn.

my dilemma is choosing between the IK multimedia total studio 3 or going all out and snagging NI's Komplete. I really want Peavey's Re-Valver as well for my main amp sim and I am of the opinion that Amplitube is better than Guitar Rig. Currently have Pod Farm and need to upgrade that for $99 as well. So far in demoing TH2 I am not impressed but it sounds better than guitar rig. I've read that people who own the Axe FX claim Re Valver is the closest sim to the real deal and some say enough so achieving they are considering selling their Axe FX. Of course there is the Kemper as well and if $$$ was not an issue I'd just have one of each and be done with it. To make matters worse I play keys as well and that is a big drain on my guitar playing time as well because lately I have been researching all the top vsts that are free and recently concluded my research on VSTi's and will be deleting many I find less than worthy of my attention from my hard drive this weekend. Several hundred were evaluated and I am only keeping the top 100 or so.

I have and use Amplitube 3, GTR, Pod Farm, and don't forget Acme Bar Gig. I don't have ReValver but have used it in other studios. It is very impressive. I am really liking what I'm hearing with Scuffham. It sounds warm and natural to my ear. I haven't had time to really blow thru TH2 yet as far as tweaks but it sounds pretty good. I have to say I prefer Amplitube over GTR. GTR sounds very harsh on overdriven sounds. Amp 3 sounds a little rounder. If I work on a track I know is going on to a record, I break out the amps and mics. The amp sims make life much easier but I am afraid they will never beat the sound of a good tube amp with the right mic and the right positioning. I use the amp sims to flesh out the demo but if it goes to a record 9 times out of 10 it will be the real deal. If I were going to use one or the other sim it would be Amp 3! Drum roll, please............. Amp 3, Scuffham, Revalver. Pick one.
