The installation was without problem on my iMac, for cons I can not say the same for activation!

Following a bug in their update, my 2 GR unauthorized silent and could not turn in DMO. I have to find a solution on NI forums and the problem has rsolu t!

Setup is super simple and the manual just to Get You Started. Any fawn, the software interface is intuitive trs.

Ah yes, a dtail, I had not seen the volume of the pdalier rglait is the rear (not software), I rsultat n &#39;had no sound before you see the knob and understand!

The inteface is perfect, unlike other multi modlisateurs or effects, is the finger in the nose, slip and OPDs, it RULES few knobs, one backup and nickel is condition to spend a little time to find the adapted his guitar.

Pdalier management is also well thought trs. Just right click on the button or modulation pedals and choose the effect or The argument that we want. It&#39;s simple and efficient trs, has also opened opportunities INTERESTED seen that you can assign whatever the volume pedals (for example a parameter prcis of an amp or effect).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

IMac Core2duo 2.16 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM.

The software works well, an average load of 15% rising 30% in high-resolution. Sr all well dpend the config to a simultaneous type Randy Rhoads with a lot of effects and a doubling of amplifier, we can get 30% load.

It turns nickel and it is super stable.

I play with headphones plugged into the pdalier GR 2, and I have no latency, it is as if I was playing with my amp and my pedals. It changes from my old USB enclosure.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months. I knew him trying BMD and I think the pdalier came in handy. I tried Amplitube I also well liked but I finally prfr GR 2.

What I like most is first the quality of sound reproduction. It sounds natural, rel, not like some multi effects. The distos are especially well rendered, same for the type of amplifiers and the positions of the microphones. When I &#39;simulation uses the Marshall, I really the grain of the amp and my Les Paul is really stunning ...

Then, the software is stable, simple and well done for. One can easily register and yammer a tuner, and a mtronome JamMan looper that allows it gnial! In addition, a plug-in is provided to be used in other software, which is handy.

I, for against, AIM least some effects such as wah wah is not bad but probably ask to refine rglages. The rotovibe is good, close to my Dunlop trs.

There are hundreds of presets. Although sr, most are trs typs or caricature, but it INTERESTED to see what can be GR 2. We spent hours testing a particular config and customize your sound. There are all types of pedals classic Big Muff, MXR Phase etc.. The possibilities are endless.

It is the modlisation is to say that we will never have the sound and the prsence vritable amp but the rendering is close to the trs rsultat recorded without s&#39; emm ... with microphones and everything else, especially without impeding his neighbors or his wife.
It also lacks customization of an amp, not possible to change the lamps, not possible to change it, no choice between a JCM 2205 or 2203 etc..

The only small default is that there is no possibility to add new MODELS, unlike Line 6, OR offers nothing, no packs, and so we just limit choice level even if the basics are the dj and allow a lot of things.

The report price is really excellent quality. Hard to beat me and saw the choice about the quality of rendering. They could add some amps or effects supplmentaires (why not a simulation of single coil pickups / humbuckers) but it&#39;s almost perfect dj.

Test for the Pod, the Vox ToneLab and various multi-effects, I find GR 2 is far ahead and offers much more (jam man, recorder, modifiers) ... You have to spend time but you get the rsultats recorded really superb. Good, for it must be against the PC / Mac is not forcment ct IDAL for the scne.

Big advantage compared to the Pod:
- Possibility to add multiple virtual microphones (There&#39;s also a lot of choice) and so to shape his own sound
- Added modifiers which allow tricks gniaux. For example, align the power of an effect on the level of or on any parameter.
- Possibility of splits, to choose such an effect on the 3 Premire strings and another on dernires etc. 3.
- Designed interface much better

Inconvnient from the Pod XT Pro for example, is that you have a PC / Mac, so it dpend computer

So it&#39;s much more powerful than the Pod in terms of his work.

If I had the right to keep only two things in my set, it would no hsitation and the Les Paul Guitar Rig 2 with the Mac.

I would do without this choice hsiter. It redcouvre his guitar and we spent hours having fun, working, recording and composing jams.
