I now have Renegade and WOW! As others have said its a big step up from Torch and great fun straight out of the box. Looking at some of the chord options etc it looks like you can also get in pretty deep. There are no issues by passing all the internal effects and amps and puting it through your favourite amp sim.
I know I am banging on a bit about the Komplete Kontrol keyboard but the light guide key mapping really enhances the experience, you know immediatly where your up strokes, down strokes and keyswitches are. As the instrument is not supported there are no encoder mapings but I think, once I have learnt how to do it I will make a template for Renegade a high priority.
