Guitar Suite

LIsten, I Freakin HATE Guitar Amp sims,, I Have me my bad ass Peavey 5150 Combo and it is the best, BUt I am a guitar player for almost 20 years now, and I will always try something whether it be another amp sim or POD, whatver it may be I will try it, and until now I have alwasy been left unimpressed, Yeah you can always get a nice clean sound wiht a sim and it is a lot easier to make it sit in the mix properly but always, ALWAYS, Sim's lack something. BUt this thing is almost unbelievable for the fact it is free and with the Super Overdrive or Tube Screamer pedals inserted BEFORE the amp(Jcm 900), you can get some Very Heavy Distortion. I play Death metal and for me to say that an Amp Sim comes close to getting a great sound is hard for me!! haha BUt this DOES.

It is fairly well-known by now but I actually felt this reviews were low considering how good this sounds and how well it interacts with your playing, It has a feeling of a real amp and responds to your playing like a real amp would. Yes there is no GUI or presets and sh!t like that but it doesnt need any,it is a great amp and if you are unable to tweak some knobs or insert an effect pedal sim, then you shouldnt be allowed to create anything ever!!! Twist them knobs, turn channel B up to about 9.5 and you will be happy with that to start//. So I am going to give presets and GUI an 8 to not drag down the score. WIth some real time and money this will probably be one of the leaders in Amp SIm technology in the near future, if not already, Is easily on par and probably surpasses the big amp sims like Guitar Rig and Amplitube, not as flexible obvioulsy but pretty damn close given the stomp boxes that D/L with this.

I still will probably never record and release something with an amp SIm, but for Demos and kepping it simple, FOr me this is great and is easily good enough to record pro quality guitar tracks..

It does seem to not fully recall the settings, but so what remeber em like you would your own amp and you can easily re-create your sound in a few seconds.Read Review
