SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Everything works fine with no latency and no bug on my old config based Hoontech XP.

OVERALL OPINION

First I should say that I have all the Amplitube (Hendrix, live, metal, v2, xgear) and I have chosen to advise on this one because I think it's by far the best . In addition to playing with the interface of a Vibroverb or a bassman in front of the eyes ... excellent!

The sound is really close to what I get with my Laney VC15 tube in his very saturated fuzz + (I am the drone / doom, so I have an idea saturation issue). The amp is very Metalhead successful, it falls far into the grave without sounding digital spectrum, which is almost odd for a transistor amp emulation <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> For grain rounder, I use the Bassman, which is probably the amp I would use to replace my Laney if I had the place and under. Amplitube Metal much better in my opinion, which however is supposed to emulate the big stacks all lamps mesa, marshall, etc.. Will understand.

For other emulations, I love Vibroverb, another amp I would have if I had the place and under, and the Champion 600, I have one and it is convincing.

If you go to the site of AmpliTube, you will see an A / B comparison of all the amps and their virtual counterpart. Consider that of the First metalhead https://www.ikmultimedia.com/fender/videodemo/index.php?movie=10 this video is not far from the fraud, though: too with unlimited means I can do sound anything like anything else. Then the guy he plays on a Start (I feel that a VG but I see no good), y 'why metalheads who play on Start? Really? Except that Richard Menga on Youtube? What the guy plays hard it vaguely, certainly not metal. In addition it compares to 2500 euros a facility that is 500 watts to a software trick is to turn the house to stop the madness ... Make no mistake: it does not sound like a good tube amp picked up by a good mic, but it's even worth the price of the microphone! So unless you're a super pro sound or need something that makes the dull area with volume knob on 3, do not deprive yourself ...

on the other hand ... it blows, like the real amps, remark, but it blows even harder Are too funny at IKM. Well, that's why what has a noise gate.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Full. Since the first version of ReValver, in fact (it sounded fucking digital, that thing there). It is much better than Guitar Rig 3 in my ears.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Most excellent, especially with the Stealth Pedal. Against by the IO controller stomp a bit expensive for what it is I think.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, a hundred times yes.

A final comment: sounds like the amps are pretty close to true (at least for those I know or have tried), C makes you a good way to test inexpensively whether a particular model is suitable for you would come out, including testing the effects on it ...
