I thought i read an interview once that Dino said he used a POD to record. but i'm not sure what album

Hi there. Yes I wouldn't be surprised. Prolly the new one and all the Divine Heresy stuff. Also, I have been able to match the distortion of Slayer's Decade of Agression distortion like 99% dead on using POD farm platinum. I will post this clip soon to prove it.

I'm with Vapourhead on this. I too own a similar suite (Eleven & Sans Amp) courtesy of my PTle rig of guitar plugins and while both are usable, I find that my PodXT still edges them both on tightness and the way it responds when I really dig into the strings.

I have been lucky to be able to acquire an Axe-FX. It outperforms every other plugin or Line6 amp sim I have tried.
Hooked up to my Pro Tools setup, I can track a dry signal and then Insert the Axe-FX in FX loop.

I think John is right. The logic of "you get what you pay for" seems to be the winner in the end.

Case in point: My access Virus synth - destroys any other soft synth that I own, because even though the VC is still RTAS - it relies on the Virus TI hardware to do the DSP - which use very high quality components of the most pristine and select elements - so i guess the lesson learned is that there is a winning note that can always be said for good hardware as key in studios. (This also explains why Pro Tools HD DSP processing cards are must haves for big studios which never would rely on anything else do the DSP processing - only the HD cards.)

To further this point, I run both a Sony Vaio Laptop for one home studio running Pro Tools M-Powered and a Mac for my other home studio running Pro Tools LE (which is basically the same DAW software engine). But both of the machines when running a soft-synth have a different sound - same soft synth. The Mac sounds slightly better and a different character. The Sony Vaio is also good but a bit dull in comparision for the same soft synth - same preset - but also it's own unique character! Its the components in the machines! But if I were to have initially settled for some cheaper PC instead of the Vaio, then it would not sound anywhere near my Mac like the Vaio almost does because i know the Vaio's are made with pretty decent components, and the Macs even better components.

Now I understand why the craziest audiophiles insist that even the quality of a SPDIF or Optical cable matters - seems counter intuitive because its just digital 1's and 0s - but you would be surprised.

I hope to one day be able to own a real pro studio with Pro Tools HD systems, but first I hope to be able to soon acquire the Axe FX that John and others have recommended in here. Apparently this is the "Virus" of all Guitar Modelers.

Hi, Ive been looking into the different amp sims lately and just found this thread so thought i'd ask your opinion about waves GTR. I saw it being offered now for 425 together with native power pack bundle. I would like to get better plugins anyway so this seems like a good deal but i'm wondering if i'm missing something. Is GTR or the bundle not that good? It just seems kinda cheap for waves which i thought was expensive. I demoed GTR and liked it but maybe my ears aren't as developed to know.

Axe FX Ultra kills everything in my opinion!
