I do very well with CAPS-plugins in AMS: http://lapoc.de/demos/ams-guitrack-killwaveshort.ogg http://lapoc.de/demos/ams-guitrack-tschoepeled02.ogg http://lapoc.de/demos/caps-walzersturm02-0312-2007.ogg I absolutely back that: for 300E you get a hardware recording amp that beats *any* softwaresolution.

The patch reacts a little unpredictable sometimes depending on the signal it gets. Both hardware and software (alsamixer, input of the patch) settings are delicate. I use a small phonic-mixer to plug my guitars in and a MAudio Audiophile soundcard. The most ipmortant module to get a decent basic sound is the compressor. use a tool like qarecord or meterbridge to monitor the input and set it to be loud enough and far enough from clipping then fiddle with the compressor before you apply FX and distortion. The compressor is most important for the sound. Before I inserted it, I only managed to have the choice between a feeble, bleak clean sound and screeching blast. The patch has two AMP-modules. mixing both is possible but even more delicate if distortion is involved. for metal sounds it is easier to send the signal to one of the AMPs only. Ill ask my neighbor richboy guitar player what gadgets he tested recently, before I switched to ams I used a Zoom9000 that is OK for practising and for FXed sounds with heavy flanger and the like but misses the punch and dynamics I would expect from a guitar sound. I also had quite good results with a modular system: Ibanez distortion pedal --> H&K RedBox --> mixer(mic-in)--> 6 band graphic EQ -->Line IN. Gave me everything between Killing Joke and Slayer leads (not that great for good clean sounds though...) best regards HZN

They all have pros and cons, and sound very good for the price. So, I'm not saying that GR is better, I just find GR to have a better sound to my ears, and I also feel it more "real" while playing if that makes sense. Of course, if you need something to gig any hardware solution is more convenient and reliable, but (again IMHO) I don't think any hardware solution in that price range gets even close to GR's sound quality. Anyway, everyone has different needs (and ears) and if Christian was happy with GuitarPort maybe all the options we're discussing are overkill for him :P Saludosss -- Oscar Morante GPG: CA7417FF "Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is." - Isaac Asimov.
