That opinion makes the rest of the thread pointless by comparison to other (and there have been hundreds) similar threads with better info.
And a Bad Monkey? Into what? The distortion pedal alone, you mean?
Sascha is very diplomatic, and I guess I should be, too, since I'm carrying a "company badge" in my signature line. But speaking only as Greg Pettit, guitar player, your opinion can never mean anything to me. You like the worst VST amp sim ever created, and that's all I need to know.
Now, a related but hopefully separate point: The most intelligent point so far was made by Sascha when he pointed out that people have gotten GOD-AWFUL tone out of tube amps. Tubes don't instantly create good tone. Boss and others have proven that "analog" (ie. resistors, capacitors, etc.) can be sonically horrible as well. However, these same people with 'terrible tone' have recorded legendary tracks and are very well known as innovators. And, their tone, 'terrible' as it may seem when compared to the "standard good tone" formulas, is unique to each player. Go figure.

. But then, others like this Warp I don't know, and what the heck is bad in that. I'd wish I had Sascha's hands maybe (never seen them except a part of them on some pic yesterday 
). Surely crap for guys with a most versatile master-Strat and so on, but I talked to about 20 Hamburg-guitar-players around, listened to one as he played, he owns a most expensive Strat, a ES-335 copy (brand forgotten, epiphone and old??) and a Gibson SG. He played the "SG" -copy of Samick and it sounded MARVELLOUS to my ears, and of course if I played the Gibson he'd not find it this great... I played with the GR2-demo and loved it, but maybe because I never owned a real fine amp (and I couldn't use it too, another story which leads to moving from here anyway).
, then some other freebies anyone likes like Simulanalog, Free ampSE and more, and a maybe not very well thought of GXstack which I use with various other effects, trying them out in hot nights (did I mention we have 33° under the roof, the walls giving a shitty heat, minimal addition being the rather many postmodern glass-buildings of enormous beauty around everywhere, they just forgot to think about humans - humans and pigs can't go into those architectural - philosophical wonders at all, only if the huge huge air-conditioning-systems run 24 HOURS A DAY, unbelievable, thanks you philosophers and architects!).
