It’s really funny that I could buy 2 top of the line HARDWARE amp sims for the price of this stinking turd software. In fact, I could buy a real tube amp for less, or I could buy a used tube amp and a new top of the line hardware amp sim at the same cost.
Even more amusing is the prior post on this blog that has the StudioDevil VGA amp sim for $79.
And if this software is on par with previous waves software, it’s crippled, bloated and the sound is mediocore… at best.
LOL, you are right. The only thing looking into is still freeamp vst.
I agree that $600 is quite steep, and for much less (Studio Devil) or free even (FreeAmp) you can get good amp sims too.
And if you’re set on spending some money AmpliTube and Guitar Rig are tough competition, so I wonder how Waves is going to sell this one. They seems to have more enemies than friends these days…
Well, they are very, very expensive and I guess people are questioning if it’s really worth it. Especially with so much great freeware-plugs coming out lately. I just recently re-organized my VSTi-Dir and realized that I almost exclusively use freeware-plugins for creating sounds… There are so much greatsounding/interesting/odd/special ones around. Would be a good idea btw, to compile a list of top5 freeware plugs from your regular readers. :)
great stuff!!!
