Recently I've been reading up and looking at the Amp Modeling softwares such as guitar rig 3 and others.
I've been thinking of getting guitar rig 3 with the pedal since it seems really amazing, and supposed to save a lot of money on buying lots of effects and such.

I was wondering if anyone tried out the program or similar amp modeling softwares and can recommend for it or even just generally share his experience with it.

Cheers mates! smile.gif

i was confused between buying a pod x3 or guitar rig 3 but every body told me like podx3 is way better ...cz you can plug it directly to your pc..

I like GR3. We used it to record all the guitars on our EP that you can hear here if you so wish http://www.myspace.com/voiceofthesouluk

It can get pretty good sounds a lot of the time and makes recording in a home studio a lot easier but will never compete with recording a mic'ed up amp properly.

Well I'm not really bothered with recording rather playing with it live.

As in with my band, getting a lap top, in rehearsal or when performing, plugging the guitar to the laptop and to the amp they provide us at the place we perform at or rehearse at, then controlling all the presets I have with the pedal. And the sound obviously will come out of the amp.

Is it doable and wont cause me too much trouble?

If it is for live then get a POD X3 Live.

Then you don't need a laptop biggrin.gif

Hi all,

Nothing further from my intention than using this for advertising me nor my group rolleyes.gif but I think that it could be a god example of how two of the most recognized amp modeling software sound like.

For recording:

IK Multimedia Amplitube 2 (http://www.amplitube.com)

In this song Attached File  learning_point.mp3 ( 5.1MB ) Number of downloads: 223
, every guitar (even the bass) is processed through Amplitube 2 (mesa rectifier simulation) and has been recorded directly plugging the instrument in to a laptop line-in (integrated realtek soundcard)

Native Instruments Guitarrig 2 (http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=guitarrig3, currently it is version 3.1)

In this one Attached File  track_number_3.mp3 ( 4.91MB ) Number of downloads: 253
, GuitarRig 3 is used (several emulations, for both guitars and bass) but, in this case, the laptop's headphones output was directed to the line-in of a berhinger v-ampire head connected to a berhinger 4x12 cabinet and recorded with cheap mics.

For live playing and gigs:

Until getting my current rig, I tried several ways to get a decent sound without expending too much money and once also tried to get it out of a laptop with one these simulators. Everything was fine in-house, at low volume levels but, as soon as I tried to use it live, at medium-high volumes, the noise (zums, lot of hiss, the laptop frequencies all around, etc.) I gave it up.

Even the settings used for the second song could be used for live performances; we had to manage with a lot of noises during the recording process that wouldn't make us able to use it for a gig.

Hope this helped,

Alvaro

The best amp modeling software at the moment IMO: Revalver. You gotta check it out, Revalver III should be out soon smile.gif

I like REvalver too, but didn't quite manged to figured out all the options it has unsure.gif

Guitar RIg is great, but imo Amplitube2 is better in terms of sound quality then GR2. Haven't tried GR3 tho..

yeah i too have been asking myself this same question. right now i have a toneport gx but i'm not really liking the tones gearbox has to offer so i've been looking at GR3 since i've heard it being used by Gustavo Guerra on youtube and love his tone. but i've never experimented with a pod before so does it just offer the same tone qualities at gearbox or is it supposed to be way better?, in which case i would have to go try it out.

I have downloaded Peavey MK III demo for a 2 week`s ago,and at first I got the impression that it was so fizzy and that I stick with my Amplitube and guitar Rig,but
after that i have visited GuitarAmpModelling site and got some great info about how to set up the sound so it fit my gear.................I was blown away this is the thing that I have been searching it is very good sounding and tweakable.
I can get every sound I want with this one.If you learn how to tweak it so it fit`s your gear.

Almost all my lessons are recorded with Amplitube 2. Really great tool for home recording.

interesting programs..

can either of these programs be used without additional hardware, and just plug the guitar directly into my soundcard?

Yes mate, this is how it's suppose the work. But you need a fast card so that you don't have any latency and you can play in real time.

That is a high end gamer card, and I think it should work good, I'm not sure. Let us know how it works for you, that info might be useful! Thanks! smile.gif

I may be wrong but I think the software version of NI GR3 uses Asio2 for its default audio drivers. If that is the case then the Creative needs to be able to support Asio2. I had a look on Creative's web site but there wasn't any info about this that I could find - I'm pretty sure the Creative will support Asio just not 100% positive.

Cheers,
Tony

One other thing to think about Zion - if you just use the software version how are you going to interface your guitar and the Creative X-Fi? I doubt that the creative will cope with the impedance of an electric guitar ie it probably doesn't have HiZ input.

Least it will be with a demo version mate - so no cost if it doesn't work smile.gif. Hopefully it will work as NI stuff is very good quality in my experience. Best of luck with it Zion.

All of my lessons were recorded with Guitar Rig 3, the abolut perfect solution for home recording in my opinion. If you want to try it yourself, make sure to get Guitar Rig 3, it sounds much better and is easier to handle compared to Guitar Rig 2.
