Amp Simulation Software

Does anyone know of any good amp simulation software w/ good distortions, etc.
 
For DirectX, the main one is ReValver.

I have not really messed with it that much so far, so I don't have an opinion. I am also not sure if it handles 24-bit sound.
 
if you don't have the equipment to listen to your distorted sound while tracking clean you may not be very happy with reValver.

and if you HAVE the equipment you may have the money to buy something better ;) .

anyhow; what I did a few times was to go straight from my amps pre-amp out to the sound-card's 'in' and then add ReValvers power-amp and cabinet simulations (ReValver's distortions aren't that great anyway).
not THAT bad when you eq out those heavy basses.
 
That was my angle: Record clean into the board dry then treat with ReValver so as to be able to change the guitar track as mixdown conditions dictated. Recording the track wet leaves you stuck if something appears to need tweaking later.

Good theory anyway.

I don't know if ReValver is up to it yet.

I have a J-Station with J-Edit rigged up and love it (J-Station without J-Edit is GARBAGE, however), plus I have about eight or ten amps and fairly decent microphones...but these leave one with a track not much can be done with after the fact.

I haven't been all that impressed with ReValver's sounds, though it's still early days.
