Hi,I need something for quiet practicing at home. I was considering Behringer Vamp-3 or DigitechRP 155, or similar. Is AmpliTube 3.5 usefull for this purpose? How long is latency?
Regards

Hi peromucho7. AmpliTube is realtime. Latency is up to your audio device. You should be able to do a buffer of 256 or lower with a decent ASIO audio device. The best part of using AmpliTube is you probably have everything you need already (if you need ASIO drivers, check out ASIO4ALL.) And AmpliTube is free for the basic setup of 2 Fenders, a Marshall JCM800, and a bass amp. We've got more amps to choose from than any hardware you could ever buy, many of them officially certified and endorsed by the manufacturers, and still many more on the way. So it shouldn't be too difficult for you to find exactly the sound you want to fit your style. And you'll be able to get it for under $50.

Are the Soldano models certified?

I've been messing around with the free version. I think that is a very good business move to attract more customers. A definate thumbs up from me. I for one really like being able to test things out on my system before buying.

The sound is really great, I will probably be purchasing more amp models in the future but the included Marshall is very fun to mess around with.

To my ears and fingers it feels much more accurate than the modeling in Logic / Garageband. It does seem to be pretty CPU intensive though I haven't had time to really dig into the settings. I'm using a Presonus Firepod into a 2009 MacBook upgraded to 4 gigs ram and 7200 rpm drive.

There is only one Soldano model right now, the SLO-100, and YES, it is Officially Certified... in fact, Mike Soldano sent us one of his own amps from his private collection!

If you like the JCM800 model, then you'll LOVE the JMP model... check out the Vintage Metal Lead!

We respect Apple's ampsims in Logic and GarageBand, but we also think you should always listen to what your ears and fingers tell you...

I love AmpliTube. I've tried (and continue to use) almost every other software sim out there but AmpliTube is the one that I always come back to. I spent this morning playing around with AmpliTube for iPad and it rocks.

I've also played most sims. To be honest the best sounding and cool interface is Guitar rig4 hands down.

The amplitude vst won't work in my DAW Ableton live8

Oh yeah, Guitar Rig 4's Hiwatt tones are unbeatable.

Try new version 4.1.2 with ramfire amps. Wow

you can plug your guitar into computor (through interface, line in might work) run program and adjust your tone, you can then send that tone straight into a recording program ( like Adobe Audition 3.0) and direct record.

You can open it as a plugin inside recording software (I use it in Protools and GarageBand) or as a standalone program. In Protools and the like you can change presets after you've recorded the part (like all other plugin sims). As a standalone program you can record ideas, import and slow down songs to learn, practice with a metronome and even use it onstage in place of an amp, with a laptop and a MIDI controller.

Download the demo at a friend's house if you must!
After that you will only need an internet connection for authorizing and browsing the Custom Shop, which only takes a few kbs.

Cheers, ive just come off Amplitube 3.0 so I will get that.

Ive been trying to get this tone for years but can only ever get so close, its very tricky to work out, I think the reason I cant nail the tone is cos hes using superior electronics.

If anyone can nail that tone in a preset and send to me that would be a laugh.
