Just so everyone knows, as a SONAR X2 customer, you are entitled to a special upgrade price on Overloud TH2 full version.

http://www.store.cakewalk...sp?sku=30-ODTH2.00-20E

You can either order it with your SONAR X2 upgrade or buy it after your SONAR X2 purchase. It's $100 off the regular price for SONAR X2 Producer customers.

The demo "link" is at overloud.com I've just played with the download for 5 minutes, IMHO not a lot extra there for "real" guitar players over Guitar Rig 5, but for a hack like myself it's an improvement, great layout, and I love the presets, much easier for me to find what I want. Glad I bought it

Definitely looking forward to playing around with it but maybe I'll just wait until I have X2 in my hands

 
That's what I was planning to do.   I've been considering GR5 or Scuffham for a while now, but with this falling into our laps my focus may be changing...

Thanks, I didn't get the dl link yet. Hows it compare to S-Gear, anyone? 

@stevec... I thought you were gonna jump on the $50 GR upgrade? It really is quite good. I mean it's still not perfect but it's WAY better than anything GR has been in the past. I nailed my metal tone fairly easily, I've got a slick blues/rock lead tone happening... and, well that's about it because I haven't gone too crazy with it yet but with some tweaking it's pretty darned amazing sounding. Like I said I think combining TH2 lite and GR5 might be where it's at. The clean tones on the TH2 vids I heard were better to my ears than GR5 but the distortion and effects sounded kind of squishy squashy. Solution? Use the clean amps in TH2 and cover them in delicious GR5 sauce. ;-)

I was looking at the GR upgrade, but at the time I thought I qualified for the Kotakt upgrade and went for that instead (actually placed the order).   Unfortunately I didn't find out that I didn't qualify after all until it was too late.  
 
I currently have GR4LE and GR5 Free, so I'm thinking that TH2 may be a nice compliment.  Either way, it's X2 first - the version that comes with SONAR should give me a good idea where I'm heading from there...
 

Aw... that's a drag. $50 was a really good deal. Still grumpy I bought a couple of weeks too early. That seems to keep happening to me. *sigh*

Timing can be everything, and extremely difficult to predict.   What can you do...    Hey, at least you've got the toys!  

Yup... now if I can only get my butt in gear to use them. lol
