Amplitube Fender vs 64Bit DAW

I was hooked on the Amplitube Fender sound the night the iPad app came out. This thing does sound like some killer Fender amps for a mere $15! Provided you already have the $39.99 iRig. I knew right then that these guys know what Fender is supposed to sound like, and Fender didn't just license anyone. It was a bit of a no brainer for me when I got emailed a coupon code for Amplitube Fender for less than Half Price

Now I'm not hesitant at all to say I REALLY LOVE Presonus Studio One Pro DAW after spending more $$ than I care to admit, on Cubase, Sonar, Ableton, Roland, various I/O Devices.. etc.. The one window idea and straight upload to SoundCloud were pretty much a dream come true for my efficiency wishes.

So I buy the Amplitube Fender, install it.. open up StudioOne Pro 64 Bit.. and Nothing! NADA, ZILCH.. not a single hint of the Amplitube Fender VST, despite pointing at the folders more than once. HMM...? I open up Sonar 8.5 for the 1st time in several months, and shabang.. it's right there and sounds GREAT.. DARNIT! I think.. I really want to use it in StudioOne... HMM.. Standalone..? Do I want to be bouncing around to get this PERFECT SWEET TONE!?!?!

So I read up on the forums and sure enough. I have to used StudioOne in the 32 Bit variety if I want to have Amplitube as a plug in.

A quick install and one activation code less.. Voila! Works great.. and WHOAH.. now all these Sonar Producer edition plugins will work as well..? Really...? COOL!

So Here's the difference... with a pretty boring Chord variation I just pulled out of a song I'm working on.

Guitar Rig LE's Clean Twang

and here's the Amplitube Fender Clean Twin version

Those are both presets I just picked.. so I'm feeling pretty excited about having all the Fender Amp and Effects Pedals and Cabinets in my arsenal now.

Happy picking, or strummin' or pluckin...
