[Rwp] Amp sims

[Alex H.]

Good point about having a finished sound with some sims. Whether done
intentionally or by accident, that's the case for quite a few things
I've tried. There's guys out there who feel the need to do extra
processing when stuff's already darn close when it's not needed
regarding guitars, especially when it comes to cabinet options. Some
even have precut and the like in their IR libraries so just drop on a
track and go, cuts down on balancing guitar in a mix. It's
frustrating, because sometimes you just wanna plug in and jam like you
would a real amp. Processed sound is great, but it does become wearing
for certain applications.

Sorry for ramble :D
