I was out at a bar last night to celebrate my cousins 50th birthday. They had a cover band of three guys there. The guitarist was using Amplitude 5. I was able to see the laptop and the screen. I thought it was ToneX, but nope it was just AT5. He was using the midi foot controller thingy to change presets. It sounded pretty good actually. They did everything from Bryan Adams, New Order, Led Zeppelin and Prince covers and stuff like that. Looks like he just had it plugged from interface into the console directly and it sounded pretty good. Just sharing. So stop complaining about sims and start playing them.
