I have the ipad version. I use it more than any other amp sim or real amp. It's pretty amazing what you can do with it. To be honest the level of detail is more than I know what to do with. So I try to stick to the presets and tweak when necessary. While I'm sure a Kemper or an AxeFX would produce better results (yes, yes, real amps too), I was amazed at what I got out of it. Actually, I hesitate to say "It's great ... for the price" because regardless of the price, it's pretty awesome.
 
In fact there is a youtube video where they review the AxeFX vs the Kemper vs the  BIAS desktop. It's arguable which one is better, but the fact that it was even compared with units that cost more than $2000 is amazing when you consider the ipad version is FIVE dollars!

I'll have to check that out on my monitors. On the laptop, I'd have have ranked BIAS first, then Axe FX then Kemper...

Interesting discussion...   Earlier in the year I was considering saving up for the upgrade to TH2 because it sounded decent and reacted fairly well to my Strat.   More recently I was trying the Revalver 4 demo and thought "wow, this feels even better and has more sustain out of the gate".    And now this...   I guess I'm going to have to demo it!
 

I'm really wondering about this one. I haven't tried the demo yet, but I plan to when I have the time to really sit down and give it a proper trial. I didn't like Revalver MK III.V much...so I didn't try the new version. So far S-gear and Amplitube have been my picks, but I believe the full version of TH2 would be nice. I did try that demo and it had a lot of great things in it. I hope everyone will continue to chime in with their thoughts on Bias as you form your opinions.

Me too!   
 
Totally forgot about S-Gear... keep meaning to try that too based on positive feedback around these parts.

S-gear is pretty impressive. If I were to buy another guitar sim (I have and like Amplitube 3 with the Fender and Ampeg add ons) TH2 and Bias would be the two contenders...I did download the demo of Bias, so I'll give it a spin and see if I can get what I like out of it. They all have pros and cons, but I would have to vote for S-gear as best in sound and feel.

This looks very cool and the video demos sound great. One question about the overdrive.. When you play and hold a note, will the sound go from distorted to clean as the note fades as it does on a real tube amp?

I have Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Re-Valver, and TH2. Bang for the buck, Th2 wins out most of the time. It is more like the Swiss Army knife of sims because of the FX included. I'm not having to jump around after the amp sim and add a bunch of FX which means jumping around between more windows to edit. At least in TH2 everything is in the same window and dead easy to edit. That's pretty handy when you are working at a pretty fast pace and need to move on.
I am very impressed with BIAS but most all the demo sounds have been shredding. I do a lot of jazz and ballads and I am wondering how BIAS translates in to the more subdued and clean sounds. I'll probably give it a try. Although, I have had my eye on S-Gear for a long time.

Out of Amplitube, Guitar Rig, and TH2, TH2 would be my pick and has been my go-to so far. I never understood the appeal of Amplitube. I thought it was ok for over the top effects laden sounds, but as a straight amp, it always sounded fizzy to me.
 
A shame that BIAS has geared their demos to the shredder market, because while I like to "shred" from time to time when no one is looking, my ideal sound is that clean/slight breakup type sound. BIAS is great for that.
 
I've only tried the S-Gear demo and for clean sounds it's great, I personally haven't found it useful for much more than that, but an S-Gear/BIAS combo would fill all my guitar tone needs.

I played the neck pickup on a Heritage 575 through a LA-610 mk1 preamp last night and recorded it direct.
 
It sounded a lot like a clean guitar.
