I'm not really sure how to describe it, but the distortion I'm getting out of AmpliTube's American Lead MK III does not seem very realistic to my ears, even with a tube screamer in one of the stomp box slots. It's almost like a grinding-type sound in the upper midrange, not smooth like a Mesa tube amp at high volume. I see people on YouTube doing covers of songs, even with something like the Line 6 POD Studio, and this doesn't seem to pose a problem to them at all. My audio interface should not be a problem as it's a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 which has a generally good reputation. My question is...Is this just part of the nature of amp sims to sound that way? I'm planning on writing a song with a guitar tone like on Metallica's ...And Justice For All album, that dry-and-squishy-yet-seething-with-rage type of distortion.
I know I'm probably settings my expectations a bit too high for AmpliTube, although I am just a noob who wants a monstrous tone in the least expensive way possible.
