Living in Cité U, I can not afford to buy a real amp, so I searched for a solution able to train every day, using my PC (Guitar Pro) while enjoying a good recording capacity.
I have a new PC (AMD Phenom 3 hearts, 2GB RAM, 320GB SD), but I also tested it on a dual-core Intel (I know neither the character.) And a fairly old PC (Intel P4, 1GB RAM)
I use the guitar is a Cort X2 which I changed one of the two microphones for SD SH8 Invader.
UTILIZATION
Well then I'll put the record straight: I have a GREAT sound. Really, I'm the scene of his that I got before, either with other software amp simulation (via a connection to the PC's internal sound card) or via my amp Park (Which certainly does is not of good quality.)
I play Metal, and easily get a sound that suits me: strong, not very precise. (It comes from the Invader that ..)
I will shortly receive a new guitar (Jackson Dinky DKMG) far better, so I will publish my review to see if there is a big difference in sound.
Level latency nothing to say, I never noticed. No difference when I play on an amp.
POD FARM (Amp Simulation Software included) is really well arranged: the products are well sorted, they quickly come to have the sound you want.
The software is often updated frequently, but since my version suits me perfectly, j'update ever.
GETTING STARTED
Installation without any problem, everything is explained.
After level stability, I had no problem on my desktop PC, but I had a lot of bugs when I tested it on a Laptop: sound sizzled to death (The kind that is meant not that one plays).
I did my little investigation and it would appear that the Pod has a compatibility problem with some laptops equipped with dual-core processors. Do not panic: most still work perfectly with it. I advise you, if you have the opportunity to test the POD STUDIO home front, if you have a laptop like that.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, although it is certain that this machine can not match the real tube amps and stuff, it changed my life. Now I do galley more for a sound that I like or to sign up!
You plug the guitar, we run the software, and voila, you can play alone!
I use the studio for about a year. The value for money is very good for me. With experience, I would do exactly that choice there.
