Easy installation, configuration and routing it does little easier for this kind of software.
No need to book.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

On core 2 duo E7400 (o / ca 3.16GHz) and 8Gb ram, no worries, the process turns aentre 10 and 30% in high definition.

Level latency, used on a Fast-track (MKI is around 10 ms, the Roland UA25-EX is turned between 5 and 9 ms. So very correct.

Point of view its general level, it's clean on hifi system like the monitor was a "multi purpose" but nothing really transcendent.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this software since version 1 and version I have owned all in the hope of an improvement. The deception.

to get into the details:

Whether for use as live or VST plug-in:

-Most:

Simulation-cab very successful and much improved since version 1. I will say is the big success of this program.

Delay and reverb-clean and efficient.

Audio-player practice with the detune function and slowed, it is a handy tool to practice playing on the audio tracks.

Disto-not bad but not great.



For the other end I pass my turn, I use very little and even if I find them quite succeed, I use with too little to have a full review.


Now the least (just as well as direct plug-ins):

The software-as a whole is severely lacking in dynamics, with some adjustable ultra basic (type amp + cab only) you do not feel even more accurately the attacks.

-The sound of bases (preset) its overall bad, except two or three that stand out, the mountain effect that each preset Contains finally turned the sound big mush.

-The biggest default: The amp heads! a disaster, no change since version 2, settings are still inefficient compared to the amp models on which these models are based. With two other effects in addition to and turn the EQ is not altogether a most anything, so for me as bit of a scratch> lamp preamp> power amp lamp> baffle and nothing more, this software is still disappointing in this respect view.

The sounds are supposedly modeled light years of the original models, the settings do not help.

What makes this software is only useful for me to play on anything other than my live set when to play a very low volume. Or just a convenient detune MP3 to play on without having to change their tune all the pieces.



In conclusion I would say that is nothing worse than a full multi purpose € 200 unless you want to use some of distortion pedals or external simulation of HP (vst). hence the 4 / 10.

At the same gender, standard amp simulation, Revalver is doing three times better, too bad they do not do that peavey amp on it.
