This seems to be getting a few more favorable reports, as usual he seems interested and committed to improve and build on things.

I played around a bit with the demo, and it's better than I thought it would be. As a guitar player primarily,... choosing a guitar sim is as difficult as choosing a daw. They are all getting very good. I now have 3 full blown versions (S-gear, amplitube 4 and Revalver 4 + a HD500X) and wouldn't mind at all adding a few more.
I was able to get some good clean tones quickly...The Vox and Fender Deluxe sounded pretty good to me.
I can't say much for the high gain tones, other than I much prefer what I've been using in S-Gear.
There isn't any effects, (I used tritik delay and Valhallavintageverb while demoing it) only the amp, speaker and mic. You can switch out the preamp tubes, power amp tubes and speakers...seems like there are about 5 or 6 of each to choose from. You can also adjust the mic distance and move it from cone center to the outer edge.
It will go on sale for 50% off at some point, and Saverio will be adding to it for awhile i bet. I'm not planning on getting this one, but I'm impressed. It's better than I thought it would be, and I have supported hornet in the past. His prices and support practises are worthy of praise.
Everything it does I already have in a better and deeper amp sim, but if you want a nice simple, cheap amp sim, I would suggest you try the demo and see if you like it. It is getting pretty good reviews at Gearslutz and KVR as Richard mentioned.

Yup, this Saverio dude will be adding pedals and more. He's accepting suggestions over at KVR.

And it's half price now, for another 17 hours.

Just tried the demo too, and while the presets don't do much for me, with a little time and effort it seems to match up OK with other amp sims (without any FX of course).    Unsure whether it's something I want though.   Still demoing S-Gear which is sooo nice "out of the box" but much more expensive.

With TH3 Cakewalk Edition coming to SONAR, I'm not sure I see the point. And I love AutoGain Pro. I did pick up Sybilla Pro on this sale, but I haven't compared it to the other 2 deessers that I have yet, so can't speak to its usefulness.
 
I also have GTR3. Is there anything new/unusual in HoRNeT's cab sim that makes it worth the effort and cost?

I'm just waiting for the next Hornet 70% off sale to make it a no-painer.

I'm not sure whether it'll actually happen, but yeah, watching TH3 appear in SONAR would be schaweet!
 
FWIW, I'm passing on Guitar Kit at this point. It seems like a decent choice for tweakers and/or those that stack FX, but I prefer a solid preset as a starting point that includes the whole chain from input to output.

S-Gear is da bomb!
Toneboosters Sibalance is a very nice de-esser.
