Oh, well I didn't mean your plugins are inadequate in any way, but that
it's a very complicated problem. Plus, even if you create one good
sounding 'amp'.. that's just one. One amp is never enough for anybody.
:)
Anyway, I own a Behringer V-Amp so I havn't really tested your plugins
much, but I will if you like. I've been a serious guitarist for over
half my life, so I like to think I have an ear for these sorts of
things.
Give me a few days, I'll put some comparison tracks down in audio (if
necessary)
