His soldano sims sound like the new jet city amps!!!(recorded). You boost it and go straight to megadeth territory and responds like an amp. It is the absolute best for marshall sounds at least for me. You can run virtually anything in there and dual rig a guitar rig model with a revalver model with I.R.!!! The absolute must. The absolute best impulse loader with crunch and speaker distortion knobs that work. Very succesfull peavey emulations that worth the price tag alone. Crunch tones the best for single note lines. You change plate voltage and tubes you change the sound. Revalver if you know how to deep edit electronic parameters. Great bogner, orange, stompbox emulation, jc-120 that works!!! The worst marshall sounds ever. Easy to use and easy to adjust for things like sag, bias, etc. an easy way to mix wherever in the stereo image 8 virtual mics in any analogy. It's not difficult, but it is very powerful so studying a bit will help you get the most out of it. You can use it without reading a manual, but to get the most out of it it helps to read the manual and additional material. In terms of intuitiveness, I did read a book on Guitar Rig.

Their customer support was non-existent when I contacted them, so I prefer to avoid their products now. I was also very interested in another option, TH1 by Overloud. I saw version 4 and can upgrade for a discounted price, but I have little interest in upgrading. I like Guitar Rig because it has a tuner, 2 recording decks, a metronome, the ability to change speed without changing pitch, etc. But to me a more significant difference is what the software offers in addition to amps and effects. Waves GTR seems more ready for recording, without a lot of additional eq.

One difference is what you'll use it for. I think you can get good sounds with any of them. I also use Recabinet along with these programs. I have previous versions (POD Farm 1, Guitar Rig 3) and also Waves GTR 3 and probably some other software that I can't recall right now.
