Accordian? ;)

In all seriousness though, if he's not happy with the modelers that are out there, he's not going to be happy with anything for a portable idea rig. He needs to be more realistic.
 
might i say, he is no friend. some bum on guitar.com's board
 
I've always been a big fan of mic'ing my guitars (amps/cabs),....and in the same token have always felt that the guitar softwares were pretty whimpy.......Then I started playing with the GR-2 stuff from NI...Not too shabby IMO ...The more overdriven stuff still lacks a bit, but the cleans are real nice! ...I'm just running one of my guitars straight in to my DMP3.

I'll have to try out those other VST's that have been mentioned....Thanks guys!!!

one thing i've noticed in recording direct is that if you crank the gain too much you get that really fizzy digital sound. I tried backing it down a bit one time and was shocked at the difference in tone. It still doesn't compare to my v32 palomino with a 57 and i5 on each speaker but it doesn't sound "bad". but bad is in the eye of the beholder

Most people find the same thing happens when they back down the gain on their real amps too :)
 
haha... no offense taken but i know that works for real amps too and also removes some of the compression that dirstortion applies. I just find that in direct, it makes a bigger difference for that really digital sound.
