Ampeg SVX software

[bassybass]

Hi JMJ,
Just curious if you've tried the IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX amp modeling software and what you think of the sound of it. I'm debating between that and just getting a VT bass pedal for my home studio amp modeling needs (tried the BassPOD but just wasn't feeling it). The flexibility of software is always appealing to me, but the plug-and-playness of a stomp is too! So, it comes down to the meat-and-potatoes tone. I haven't had the opportunity to test drive either yet.

Thanks!

Is there a demo of that software? If so, grab it. If not, I think the SVX sounds good, in my rather limited experience. I probably need more time with it.

Best,
JMJ

well, I cant say I used it personaly, but have recorded in studios where I went direct and they modeled the amp via the SVX to some very cool results!
but yeah, finding a demo would be a cool option for starters!

I thought the SVX was a joke at first, but I recently got fooled in an AB test on here, so I downloaded the demo again and did some more playing with it. Turns out it's pretty accurate, much more than I thought at first. But personally, I'd rather have the VT.

Ah yes I see there is a demo--downloading now. I also see I can get it for a reduced price since I own Amplitube, so it'd be roughly the same price as the VT. Let's see . . .

Thanks!
