It has been released now. So I spent some time with the Rectifier simulation as hi-gain is what really interests me.
It doesn't sound very amazing stock, and I suspect this is because Creamware modeled the amp in the tube-rectified/"spongy" setting, which is really a big hands down when they market this as a hard-rock/metal simulation. It thus is almost essential to run the master low and boost the input with either a pedal or some EQ. A 12dB boost around 1-1.2KHz to the dry signal really helps.
Here's a death-metal quicky I did with drums and some processing (comp+EQ) to back it up:

So my guess is, this software can yield usable results and I would say it's in league with what else is out there, if not better. That's how I feel, but I am partial to the Creamware SFP-platform as a whole, so..
And yes, from what I have heard of the other dynatube simulations, they're good. But I feel hi-gain is the real test for amp-sims as a whole.

Hmm.. no offense but IMHO that guitar sound is pretty horrible. It's very grainy in a bad way.

As to Dynatube, i may get this as i can have two different models at once, put synths through it etc., although i do have a Pod XT Pro so i'm really trying to justify the cost of getting this to myself. CreamWare's mp3 demoes are notoriously bad (c'mon guys), so i would judge by them.
i still use your Vintage String Modular patch lots - that was yours right? Shame you didn't get on with you system, you still use it?Hi Mr. Arkadin, good to see you around here...

...Of course, it can't be used on everything, but I opted for a more "brutal" and grindy approach.
I've heard sounds like this on records before.
It's grainy, but I don't feel the grain is "digital-sounding", if that makes sense.

I'll take the liberty to post some more clips. This one was done by "bosone" at the planetz Creamware forum.

I'm still torn between this and a Toneport at the moment.

Yeah - the dilemma is the Toneport integrates best with my Variax but Dynatube integrates best with my Scope based setup and both are about the same price.
