I have to disagree with you, I think the Twin is a great model and super flexible...

Throw in a whole band and I bet you won't even know the
difference between using the amp models and your own.

Or you could just take a Marshall or Fender with that Strat.Originally posted by elambo
I just model the rest of the band, too. Then I can control everything. Then, when this all comes together, and SUCKS, there's only me to blame![]()
Every boutique amp owner knows that that won't be happenin'. But I may not need to carry them around to every gig when a Strat and a laptop might just do the trick. Kinda takes the romance out of it though, doesn't it...

Funny you say that. Probably just trolling, but here's some hard learned experience. I'm very familiar with DSP. I've owned most company's modellers, I've written a guitar amp simulator plug-in roundup cover article for EM, and as fate would have it, I was just contracted to write a book about forthcoming guitar amp simulator software.
I have found that if you are willing to work like hell at it, you can get an amp simulator to sound like a real amp. And when I say "work like hell" I mean you end up using EQs, compressors, and other processors. And you end up with ONE amp sound--in other words, with a real amp, you can use your volume knob to change the dynamics of how the amp interacts with the guitar. But with your sim, you may have gotten a very respectable Rectifier tone, for example, but while playing with your guitar volume will raise or lower the volume, it will not change your tone dynamically like a real amp.
But in full band recordings, I've found the EXACT opposite to what you suggest. If you have full band recorded and ALL the guitars are digital simulations, they are VERY hard to mix. They always sound mushy and take up way too much of the frequency spectrum. They don't cut, and the digital simulations tend to change character when you EQ them far more than real guitar amplifier sounds. And that is when mic'ing a digital amp, using a digital simulator hardware device, or simulation plug-in.

Do you find the mixing problem mostly with distorted guitar tones rather than clean ones?

I'll say this about guitar rig: it's flexible.

One other thing that you can do with Guitar Rig is bypass the amp and cabinet emulations and just use it for all the effects. Then run that signal into your favorite hardware amp and you've got something VERY unique and as legitimate sounding as your amp will allow.

very cool,
i'm actually considering GR for just the effects and cab sims.
but would this idea work?
... was thinking about sending my guitar signal into GR, then using a radial X-amp, reamping it into a nice amp, then sending the DI feed from an Avalon U5 back into GR to use the cab sims.
possible?
