[LAU] Guitarix Team: A big thank you

[Gerald Mwangi]

Hi Guys,
recently I decided to update the PC in my guitar setup. The Rack 
consists of a Line6 POD HD desktop, PC, M-Audio Mobile Pre,
Korg NanoFader and Behringer BCR2000. All in one dj case, fixed, wired 
and ready to go..... That means if you have the muscles to lag
around those 25-30 Kgs. So something has to be removed!!
I decided to check out the mod software+Guitarix lv2s and ended up using 
carla instead of mod-ui, since I need midi cc.
I did a one on nearly one comparison with Guitarix and the Line6 POD HD. 
The POD is great, I had done a comparison with it and Guitar Rig from 
NI, and it prevailed. But Guitarix ? On my PA ? Man, that beats the POD 
HD in every imaginable way. You guys nailed it!

Ever since I once had a Marshall JCM800, Hughes&Kettner Attax100 and 
access to a Fender Bassman I had wanted those sounds desperately again, 
but without the actual cabs. The POD got the Bassman somewhat right. But 
Guitarix sounds MUCH better. I also tested GxAmplifier-X with a 6DJ8 on 
the pre, a 6V6 Master tube, Fender tone stack and a 4x12 Cab. Not 
precisly a Bassman. The sound is somewhere between the Bassman and a 
Mesa Boogie we have in the rehearsal room. Fantastic!!
And the GxJCM800-pre+GxCabinet lv2s sound exactly like the original. The 
POD never managed to sound like that, when I tuned in its jcm800 ampsim. 
Thank you.

The Line6 is good, but it's time to say bye to it, and welcome the MOD 
Duo. Hehe from POD to MOD. And I'll make a donation to the Guitarix Team 
once the POD is sold and the MOD ordered.
Why did it take me so long to realize the quality of Guitarix? I guess 
it has to do with the GUIs. Now the GUIs really explain well which the 
most important parameters are. Yes, Eye-Candy counts! (dont take this as 
trolling)
Since I have the suspicion that the MOD Team has had a big influence on 
this (am I right?), a big emphatic Thank you to
them too (to falktx anyway for his patience with my dumb questions on 
irc). Did I say I'm ordering the Mod duo primarily for its support of 
Guitarix? No? Well: I'm ordering the Mod duo primarily for its support 
of Guitarix!!!
If yes I'll say it again: I'm ... ok I'll spare you that.
