I Dl'ed and tried the demo and its gonna cost me now.


I know there are many here who don't play electric guitar, so nothing to see here.
But for those that do play guitar, this is IMO (<<<) the best sounding software amp/fx for guitar (I have heard so far) out there today. 
Organic like syrupy tones are produced that rival my Tonelab desktop,  and distortions that equal my Nova System boxes.


Put a smile on my ugly mug- You could say the demo impressed me. 

Really!!! I have not checked it out or even downloaded it as i figured it was nothnig special

Every where I look on the net people are FREAKING about how good it is but I've checked out some vids of it in use and it just... doesn't sound that great to me. But it is obviously very difficult to tell without actually using stuff like this. I am looking forward to playing with it. I was hoping they would let us download the lite version early but I guess it's too ingrained in the X2 install or something. IDK... I'm pretty happy with GR5 but considering my main instrument is guitar I like have as many tools around as possible. If I get some time maybe I'll try out the demo.

Oh, one question I have, Mikey... does the demo allow you to use it as a plug? I saw somewhere the only thing the demo doesn't do is save presets but that seems like it would be a bad move on their part seeing as how a dude like me could just dial it in everytime and not have to pay for the full version.

Yea the save is disabled,  and I used it stand alone only. It also has a quiet but harsh sounding tone and a silence for a 1/2 sec every little bit. So no dice in using it for recording in demo mode. But I zoned that out whiles messing around. I loved the fact that I could go from nothing to a nice sound in just a few clicks. Not just nice, but tone wise like it was from a guitar amp.  

BTW- I just ordered the full version, so I will be practicing on what I preach 

Ah, that makes more sense. That's actually a pretty smart way of them to do it. Definitely looking forward to playing around with it but maybe I'll just wait until I have X2 in my hands. I'll probably end up using TH2 in combination with GR5. Like use the TH2 amps and then GR for the effects... or something. Cheers.

Beepster: This is not an endorsement of the product (I have not used it myself) but I bet you buy the full version before the end of year

I too am very impressed with TH2. I very much liked how simple it is to use I was up and running with great sounds right after installation. No steep learning curve.         Dan
 
 
 
 

@scook... lol. IDK, man. I'm pretty tapped out. Once I move the spending spree will be stopped dead. That's why I'm trying to get most of this done now. If it's going to "change everything" then $100 isn't bad but if it's only slightly better than GR or I can get the tones I need out of it as is I'll probably let it sit. But maybe they'll have some crazy deal down the line that'll put it in No Brainer territory. It's hard to tell from all the descriptions (most seem to refer to the full version) but it SEEMS like the Sonar version has quite a bit included anyway. I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm still waiting on a demo link.
How does it compare to Scuffham - S-Gear?
