RE: numbskull question of the day
it compares very well, the main thing tho is ease of use, anytime anywhere
of course, once you've recorded the guitar thru a modeller like Vamp2, the sound recorded to the pc is fixed whereas with amplitube or the like and a raw recorded signal you can change the sound AFTER recording, but the vamp has many ready to go tones and fx and you can edit sounds via the free pc edit s/w which works well. You can btw record with vamp2 and then add amplitube of course, so for example if you record a distorted guitar thru vamp2 and then add a different distortion in amplitube, overall, the sound will switch to the amplitube eq tone in the selected preset, and you just get more gain, but once gain get's to a certain point it doesn't really 'gain' any further. The vamp2 does have clean settings fo course and a 'tube pre' preset which sounds like a typical DI'd guitar.
oh yes, also it works as a hardware controller. You cant re-assign the CC's it sends out from all it's pots, but you can remap them in the sequencer, and as a controller it works 100% like a BCR controller mixer in practice, so you get an added bunus hardware controller with plenty of CC sending pots
build quality is quite cheap and poor tho, the case is robust enuff considering it's plastic, but the sockets are pretty low quality for example
