OK I need to get may ass back to Japan soon, so I may have to sell My AXE-FX.

 

Disclaimer. this breaks my heart as I really really like it (axe-Fx) a lot, but I miss my wife and son so much I have to get back to see them.

I am still hoping I wont have to sell it.

 

 

So what's the best Amp Modelling software to tide me over till I get another amp and hopefully another Axe-FX

 

I am looking at

 

AmpliTube

Guitar Rig

ReValver

 

What else?

 

 

Oh I prefer mid gain JCM800 like tones...

Also I hate line-{censored}s crappy software it has to be a lot better than that. (I still have my toneport)

 

Cheers

revalver has a downloadable demo you can try. It has a way more in depth interface than the axe fx though. It allows you to change components if memory serves me correctly.

 

Actually I think all 3 have demo's. Just give them a try or you can look for the free ones that don't come bundled together neatly.

I like Amplitube 3.. I used to use Guitar Rig 4 but two nights ago I installed amplitube 3 and was blown away by some of the sounds i was getting.. This is now my goto amp modeler

I have revaler but haven't messed with it much. I need to reformat my PC soon and when I get things back to normal I will give it a serious try too. I believe revaler is the most tweakable software modeler out there which is both a good thing and bad thing IMO.. You might spend so much time tweaking the software you spend very little time playing...:facepalm:

I use a combination Guitar Rig 4, Amplitube 3, Softube Vintage/Metal amp room and the amp sims included with Logic Pro 9. They're all great, they fit in different mixes and have different applications. I ilke GR4 for just jamming around though, the effects on it are fantastic. Most of my tracks end up with the Softube models and my AC30 miced.

This is pretty sound, but as a fellow :snax: user you may be interested to know that I use Amplitube 3 at home if I ever leave my Axe at the studio (not very often, but occasionally happens).

Obviously none of these plug-ins comes close to the plastic creaminess of the :snax:, but Amplitube is my preferred software plug-in out of the ones I've tried (includes GR4, Revalver, Softube Vintage/Metal and the Logic 9 amp sims). I prefer the way it can be made to sound and I prefer the interface. JMHO, YMMV etc, etc.

Sorry to hear you have to sell the Axe, but nice to see you have your priorities right. Good luck mate.

I like the cheaper version of Revalver (HP), actually running into a tubescreamer before the card, though I only like the 6505/+ models. I also like the free one that starts with TX followed by some numbers that's based on an Engl preamp. I run a graphic eq before that one sometimes. I'm admittedly not very good at putting things together with the favorite cabs/impulses most people use and don't like the results much from anything I've tried other than the Revalver and TX ones.

So they are multi voltage for when I move countries and will fit in my laptop
:cop:



Anything with a wall wart should be multi voltage?
Just get a 110v power supply.
(You don`t like Line6, but the bean runs on a PSU)

FWIW, my ancient original Pod actually sounds decent with a ts-9 in front.
It gets a clearer tighter signal, and it really helps.

I hope you get to see your family soon, Neil. I really don`t envy you the situation you`re in.

GSP1101 doesn't have a wall wart.
