... just to give a few. Everyone agrees amps sound better. But better isn't always possible, for one reason or another, so we make do. I use Ampsims all the time .. I try and always replace them with real amps, but there are always some parts that make it through.

BTW, Amplitude 2. Very nice. Eleven. Even nicer. As Ampsims go, of course.
