Thanks Phil, I'll see what they have. You always have some pretty good suggestions so well worth taking a look at. So far have been disappointed in any rock sounds I've found. Sometimes hard to find samples too.

I'm wanting to get something with preamps so my recordings can sound good, but I don't want to break the bank. I am also wanting to get something with midi support if at all possible.

I actually have a vg99 and is a good unit but was looking for software. Also have a couple mesa boogie amps and have experimented with using microphone on them and works pretty good but looking for something different. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darren H To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 5:38 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: suggestion for guitar amp simulation Hi. If you have the cash and could stand for some hardware insteady of VSTs for guitars, check out the Roland VG99 modelling unit. You might get one from Ebay for around £675. Just purchased one myself and they sound freeking stunning, easily blows guitar rig away.

Earlier versions of Native Instruments Guitar Rig are slightly more user friendly, and, in my opinion, sound pretty damn good. There are various free ones available like Free Amp, Simul Analog Suite, not to mention bitz & pieces from Araldaz, AcmeBarGig and Le Pou. The latter ones are real good when used along some kinda impulse reflection plug-in, but unfortunately, the IR plug-ins along with the actual reflections are a real bitch when it comes to latency! Best thing is to do some research which is boring, but hey... l8r Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Harrington To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2010 5:40 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: suggestion for guitar amp simulation What is the best one out there that's accessible?

Have only used a couple real basic ones and know there must be better quality ones than those that come with the sonar program. Thanks in advance, Dave
