I guess that's a good sign. While I'm keen to jump into this, I'm having a really hard time tracking down cheap/free Mac VST/RTAS plugins for handling the impulse responses. SIR2 is the one I'm demoing right now, but it runs SUPER SLOW on my system (i'm using a PowerPC Mac (not intel) and I also use Protools LE 7.4). Anyone have any hints for us digidesign/mac folks? ;) hey guys - i just dabbled with these impulses the other night with Amplitube Jimi Hendrix and Guitar Rig2 and i was astounded at how great they sound! without realising it i was still jamming away 45 mins or so after activating it and i hadn’t even noticed the time.

I've been using them lately with amplitube, and getting some great results. You can't tell the diff, especially if your guitars are double or quad tracked, like a lot of rock and metal is. I frequent the guitarampmodeling site as well. Some very good knowledge there, and free impulses as well. Give the Guitarhack ones a try, among the best. Also the new revalver MKIII has impulse modeling and the demos sound very promising. Yes, impulses are a great alternative. I’ve been using them lately with amplitube, and getting some great results.

Still if I had the set up to mic a amp I probably would, but like you said: "(the person)who doesn’t own the amp of the century (1969 50 watt Marshall Plexi) or his version of the amp of the century, the impulses are a nice alternative." When I started recording I didnt have anything but a m-audio fast track pro, a guitar and a 1/4 cable...I had to look into amp modeling on a PC....and impulses saved my life. thanks for the plug!!! lol hey right on man!!!!
