Yup, jusdging by how it's sounding already I'd say there are going to be plenty of people who'll regret jumping aboard the GR2/AT2 ship when R2 sees the light of commercial day.

OMG, if you guys are talking about what I think you're talking about, then I totally disagree. Way too fizzy and all that right-clicking menu crap...not even close.

U sure you're not gettin confused with R1? R1 was crappy, for sure

You're way, way off.

Even in it's current pre-beta version it's sounding amazing.

GR2 is absolutely great. Right now I'm playing with a Marty Friedmann solo sound...and I can't tell the sound from GR2 from the Marty's sound (Symphony of destruction solo). And so with many many others tones. You have to make your own presets , and like we all know, the guitar player technique is a big factor.

Yeah, that's what I thought...

Sorry, I can't see any comparison between ReValver and GR2/Amplitube; not even close.

Sorry to hack this thread but as much as i like NI stuff, i just ordered Amplitube2.
With Amplitube 2 demo i didn't manage to get a sound made by myself that i could say i liked, but the presets are outstanding
so they made me decide to choose it.

However, i payed Amplitube but i don't have it yet, so i would like to know how good it is the Stomp I/0 regarding constrution, latencies and audio quality... are it's drivers USB 2 or 1???

Thank you

PS: GR2 is indeed great too but the Santana presets (EG) on Amplitube 2 are unbelivable.

I had the very same concerns, but R2 is MILES ahead of R1 and IMHO already better than AT2.... Plus I bet it will be cheaper and I know it definitely has no dongle.... haha

see...this is my problem with amp sims.

this is exactly what I DON'T want to sound like but always seem to using amp sims.

It's better than R1, for sure. But such a PITA adding modules! And everything just has that metallic, grinding sound. I've been trying out the Amplitube 2 demo, and I think it's just amazing. Actually, you know what I like better than R2 and I think is approaching the same league as the big boys?

Fretted Synth FreeAmp 1.5.

careful, testers of unreleased products. I think your license agreements say something about acknowledging the existance of such products. :)

If you happen to have some random clips of what that combo sounds like I'd really enjoy hearing some, seems like the perfect solution

If you get the time, thanks!

You can also check out the demos at Prominy. I think most of the demos were done using LPC clean and Guitar Rig. Here is the link:

There was also a post at Northern Sounds where Akihito referenced the preset he tweaked to get that sound.

Existance of what? Where?

There's nothing to see, move along, move along...

It's only an example of a good tone. A tone that costs thousands in guitar gear and studio hours. I have this sound with GR2. Not bad at all, isn't?

Not bashing GR2, if it works for you, great, but: Man, if you think that any GR2 preset sounds just like Marty Friedman, that doesn't mean that gr2 is great, but that you are not able to distinguish between GR2 and miced amp, at least at your current level of knowledge about guitar sound, no offense. Train your ears.
Also, you have VaiHalen nick, and your ambition is to play with tone exact as M. Friedman tone. Kind of funny, do you have sole ambition to become next VaiVanFridmen Guitarkenstein monster? I think that is what seamoss was pointing at. Think about it.

Cheers!

Nativi Instruments Guitar Rig 2 - is awesome!!
