Hi mikey,
totally agree to your post, specially withe the pulling,
but not with yout strat!
  Do you know how much bucks I payed for the Dean  ? 
Sit down , 5! 

Playing a guitar live and recording a guitar are two different things.

Among other amps, I use a 1964 Super Reverb a lot. It is simply gorgeous, both clean and cranked. I'm always fiddling with bias, tubes, etc. Tons of fun, and you can hear the difference.

But recordings don't capture the three-dimensional tube mojo. Using the SPDIF out on my Cyber Twin sounds every bit as good in a mix as the Super Reverb, or my Mesa Lone Star, or my former Bassman, or anything else I've used. But I wouldn't use it live.

Well, 5 bucks for a Dean isnt too bad Pragi... 

Be careful,what you write here bout my dearly Dean,,
otherwise Stratty will swing his rectal axe , mikey!

And back to topic.
:
I hope the TH2 is the best amp simulation,many fans here 
and I´m getting curious about more AND MORE!

This is a nice Demo of the Axe Fx II - Check it.  I don't own the Axe Fx II but I have the Ultra. This demo makes me want the "II"

How does TH2 compare to Guitar Rig?  Or are they completely different?

To me the TH2 sounds more Amp-ish- but I haven't played with All of what guitar rig has to offer yet,  to be fair...

"otherwise Stratty will swing his rectal axe"

Run away from the BIG rectal axe !!!!!!  

What the heck is the difference what they call it. If I can have a modeller that lets me have the SAME SOUND,same feel, same pick dynamics as an amp and then gives me a ton of exotic amps I never, ever would have been able to afford, I'll take it. I don't need the visual. Gives me delays and reverbs and choruss, etc that are on par with Eventides, I'll take it. Gives me a multitude of Speaker cabs. I'll take it.   I create MUSIC-I don't care what I am playing thru, what it looks like or smells like. If it is the sound and feel of my favorite amps, but not my amps-I'm in. When the simulation becomes = to the actual amp___why bother carrying the heavy amp. mics. speaker cabs, etc. To be cool?

Exactly.  And I have the hardware too :P

Got myself into a nice thread where I kind of pushed the AXeFXII into the thread. But it was and is a very civil and friendly discussuon.

And it would have stayed that way had you not blamed us for ribbing you about all the self back slapping you were doing to yourself by owning a Axe FX II. Damn I thought the helicopters were landing...
