Yes. Nickel on that side.

No.

Ouip.

I must look in the box, I am not sure of having seen one. Certainly a PDF.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..) Core2 Quad, Asus P5K, some DDR3 RAM, four and two Raptors 2x36Go VelociRaptor. Line6 UX1 Sound Card RME and DIGI96. UAD1.

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
No problem. Fortunately.

Not quantifiable but I never rises above 3% of CPU and Ram Standalone (8GB) does not exceed 10% utilization under XP Pro SP3 32bit and 64bit Vista Business.

Absolutely.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Three months I think.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The best: by taking his huge little head.
The least: I'm still looking.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Guitar Rig. And I do not like, so personal choice.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
I admit, I have long been playing around with the version circulating on the Internet. But it is so good that I naturally decided to reward the designers who deserve it.

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes. Besides, I also invested in Amplitube 2 for sound less radical.

A few words about modeling in general.
I am a fan of this technology for some time. Products like Amplitube work wonders are so much more affordable to use than transplanting in Micro ... especially when you practice at night and in the middle of Paris. So when I can I prefer to use my Flextone3 AIR and outputs that are excellent, I go through a good preamp and I enter the RME DIGI96. Here is the beautiful and well as it should. But when I do not have much time to play with it's all live in the Toneport UX1 and AmpliTube Metal. No need to take the lead, a headphones on and boom, big sound right away.
As usual I do not want to know if the sound is exactly that of a Triple Rectifier in the 4x12 is going well, not that I do not care. All I ask is a good seed, a type, and allows himself to mix it without too much headaches. Nothing to say, this is deadly for Amplitube. I record the sound "dry" and if I had his back to the registration request adjustments in the mix every once in place it does not pose a problem. The dream.
