I find in all ITB amp sims a lack of realistic sustain. Thats really where they all fall short. Noticable with chords but more noticable with leads/single note parts.

Though I'm given to using real amps and the pain that goes with them, most of the times, I still can't get away from my old Marshall JMP1 preamp and Digidesign Eleven rack. The JMP1 is something that every guitar player should have, and every studio should consider. It just works and sounds right every single time... for all those sounds. One of the best things Marshall ever came up with. How do you use the JMP-1? Do you use the speaker simulator at -10 and connect direct to a a/d input? That's exactly right. The speaker emulator out gets connected to a patch bay using a TRS cable with a floating sleeve ground which then is normaled into an input to the converter.

I was about to buy a Kemper but I bottled out and ended up buying a Fender Blues Jr and an Orange Tiny Terror plus an Orange 1x12 cab and a great Xotic AC booster pedal. I've got a nice selection of mics and pre's like a BAE 1073.
My drums are samples and my keyboards are samples so I just figured I would make the effort for my own music to record as much as I can as analog sources. Perhaps the Kemper would be as good as my amps and cabs but I really dig recording them and the vibe I get is great so I'm happy doing the old school way at this point.
For clients stuff on a budget I've been using S-Gear amp sim plugin - which is pretty good for a plugin.

I own that pedal in the video and the black one with the boost for metal. I've cut some mean tones with both. Its still real analog distortion, the American one works really well on keyboards. ITB amp sims, I used to use the Simulanalog stuff ALOT. Sometimes you have to understand that faster doesnt always mean digital. I think where the digital stuff rules is that you get all those different options in one device versus you get one or two sounds out of a really good amp and thats it. But its alot faster for me to grab the right guitar, fire up whichever pedal if at all is necessary and mic it up, ribbon, dyname, condenser etc...record it once and move on. Thanks -L. +1 for the Simulanalog stuff. unfortunately i don't like the Marshall model the cloned, while the emulation sounds pretty good. They made a Soldano emu plug that sounds pretty good, but is rareware and was exclusively published in a magazine (as a free goodie). The effects also pretty good. Simulanalog was a game changer. Not only it really does no cheap trick like this Guitar Rig and Line 6 stuff of that time, which were artificial sounding as hell, nightmare. And i am not even a guitar player, it is so obvious. with the released scientific paper that describes pretty exactly *how* the finding of the transfer function actually works instantly inspired some guys to start building their own emulations of hardware that didn't sound as the commercial stuff that time. The techni que is based on realtime analog modelling of the actual tube circuit and far superior to the *rig and Line 6 stuff of that time IMHO. LePou beeing one of them. Or my favourite TSE higain monster emulation. Speaking of analog effect pedals emulating the tubes with transistors, which works surprisingly well. I guess at least one of the first in this field was the runoff groove DIY circuits. Again, the knowledge and technique of emulation was published and discussed in detail. I bet they inspired a lot of commercial pedal circuits... Still have a small breadboard somewhere that i lost focus on before i could debug it... Couldn't resist their "Dumble" style emulation. www.runoffgroove.com/salvo.html

Although I have a very cool tube amp by Sano and was a Princeton Reverb devotee for ages, and of course as a seventies kid I had the obligatory 45 watt half-stack, and Ampeg V4, and Twin with orange D-120s, I think just like amps, sims are about how you set them, and how you play. I have about six that I use for various colors, all freeware, Shred by Acme Bar Gig (now defunct) JCM 800??? with the plain jane GUI, Pod Farm, which I mainly use stand alone to play along with Youtube, but I do use the spring reverb, and the amps on occasion, and the B15 for bass. Fretted Synth, Cali Sun, Boogex, Poulin, I do a lot of mults and combine so it is hardly ever just one sim. But the main reason they work for me is my no.1 guitar, a custom built strat made for a buddy back when his bAnd signed a million dollar deal with Geffen, hand wound pick ups and really great components, plays itself, and sounds good no matter what I plug it into. Thanks, Pete. And i do mean seventies, at times, like this here number with quite a few of the sims at work..... soundcloud.com/jjinvegas/hold-on-to-your-dream-jj-johnson-and-the-mullahs-of-methodonia-mix-1

I guess I'm the only guy still using his 11R... now that I have sold the saffire 56, it's the only interface (USB) I have too. Don't test me, I'm DANGEROUS
