Installation is quick, but the pain is at the Chill autorizations
software challenge-response:
I install and j'authorize first time OK
I plant my system and I have réinstaller.OK
I will ask a second registration key and I learn that I
have more than a little wild and then I'm good to throw my CD in the
poubelle.Pas OK at all.
Dismal when most publishers have begun to key iLock
or even a key owner, which in both cases can
sell its plug or keep more reliably over the
configuration changes (kind of RAM I add to the total renewal of
the machine)
Even line6 and complicated system keeps its software.
Me, when I buy software, I want to own, not just
tenant until I decided to change PC.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Sounds clear, untapped.
One has the impression that the level of my strat76 potentiometer is
blocked at mid-parcours.Aucune fishing, impossible to find the sound
Dire Straits, nor even to sound warm.
The rhythms are feeble and when triturated sound ca becomes artificial,
a peak.

Sounds crunch: Means in a rhythmic way British rock mix
Unusable in the blues, it is light years
of the original amps and it is very far from a pod or Gearbox, eg.

Distorted sounds: Good style though Satriani have trouble tapping sound.
Bad Queen in the genre, we do not find the sound of a Gibson
(My Paul is the latest, I will, but it still sounds good!)
Here's a little gadget.

Heavy sounds: it depends on the color you want.
it can go on the metal but you have to grind it sounds good, and use
other plug because the stomps are a little gadget.

I do not understand what they take in Ik, for the one foreshadowed a great result.
In comparison, the Line6 Gearbox explodes, even if it is almost double gold version,
and it is similar to Guitar Rig2, maybe a little less good.
It's better than an onboard multi-effects like zoom portable PS02
but it is far below a pedal 400Eu or even a Pod XT Pod1.
In fact there has been little progress in relation to AmpliTube 1, as it
additions are mainly but not terrible, especially the effects.
What a pity, I hope the Jimi Hendrix version we will prove that the guys who have been in IK precursors can match or even exceed the Gearbox.

OVERALL OPINION

I spent 3 months for crushing virtual buttons and I'm not satisfied.
I thought the first sense of disappointment that I had been trying feverishly
my new purchase would be forgotten in Bossant above but the problem is at the base of
treatment.
I tried GearBox Gold with a friend and I must say that I regret bitterly
for not seeing that kind.
And I also regret having sold my Pod XT.
The only advantage of this plug is that it benefits from the automation and Cubase
flexibility of computer music that I love in general ..
and allows to update its VST?
I hope that IK will wake up because the rest of its VST, Sonic Synth 2 notament
are good products.
