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
