I just pre ordered Amplitube 3 having spent the day reamping former DI'd guitars with real amps. Honestly, it was apples to oranges as I wasn't dissatisfied with the "fake" guitar amp stuff (in this case mostly GR4). It got me wondering if I was wasting my time with my real stuff. I know, I know, real is always better....tutt but, no one's been complaining about my DI'd sounds. Only me (and I'm the guitar player). Anyway, I still think real is the way to go but it sure takes some work (sometimes) and in the end I'm not sure if my clients can tell the difference. My amps BTW are :VHT D60, Fender blues deville and deluxe reissue, Peavy C30 and 8 different boutique distortion pedals. Also, royer 122, 57, re20, 421, etc, etc, neve, api, pacifica, apogee symphony system.....You get the idea. I'm very picky and today I was pissed off that my reamping stuff wasn't "that much, it at all" better then my first round of quick VI guitars.

I also have/use Waves GTR, Amplitube2, and Pod Farm. Oh yeah, Logic's guitar amp thingy.....
