There WAS a demo available for it, for a minute, and I DL'd it when it was up.

I like, and own, a lot of Audio Assault's stuff. But I'm not crazy about ReAmp; the amps sound and feel a bit two-dimensional, in my opinion, even in comparison to other AA stuff. It also seems like every model has the same set of seven controls, no matter what emulation you dial in. That's not necessarily a problem, but it does limit the extent to which you could tweak, for instance, a Plexi model in the same way the OG amp works.

I've never come away from a session with the ReAmp demo feeling tempted to buy it. My impression is that, in shooting for having so many different models available, they may have sacrificed some of the depth and distinctiveness of the individual models. As I say, I like a lot of their stuff - they have a newly-released version of Sigma, that sounds and feels great, and is much "deeper" to me than ReAmp, even though it's only one model of one amp.

YMMV, though, and some people really dig ReAmp, so take my opinion with all the grains of salt. :)

Maybe the demo is of an older version? I read that they changed and improved them a lot over time.

I just downloaded and installed the demo version they very recently (today?) made available, and it sounds and feels identical to me. :)

But! I'm not generally a metal/hi gain guy, and I saw one very satisfied customer say that ReAmp was on par with Neural DSP stuff for them.

Again, there's now a demo, so the curious should give it a spin.
