Sampletank has a free version with a bunch of instruments in it. I'm currently using it. It's a lot cheaper than Trillian(FREE) and more tweakable than 4front. IK Multimedia | SampleTank 3 Custom Shop
I freakin' love Revalver. You can demo everything indefinitely with a minor beep, and buy amps/ir's/fx ala carte. For instance right now, I only have a Diezal, an orange cab, a ts808, and a 5150 prototype cab. Probably $20 in all. Also, someone mentioned Emissary. All I can say for it is. KICK...
Sweetwater has a demo video up.

Not a whole lot mentioned in terms of sound. Why is it for almost every product that most places review they have some guy just playing blues? "Hi, this is Paul from Guitar World. Today I'm playing the 666 watt...
I'm more disappointed more than anything. I scrimped and saved to get my HD because I had faith in Line 6. I had an XT for years, and it was super faithful and the updates/model packs were the best things about the unit. I bought the HD as an act of faith that Line 6 would continue to provide...
It's really dumb that L6 toted this as a "reinvention of the amp", but it's using technology from a previous generation. What sensible company does that!?
So I've recently found that I can get a new mac for a good price and I can get a good price on Logic Pro X through my work, so I'm really tempted to switch from my current Windows/Reaper setup to Mac/Logic. I work with alot of Midi's and Synths, and being able to tab my stuff within the DAW...
I've been wondering about the Black Winters myself. I've got a mahogany neck and body guitar, and I wonder how these would balance out. I'd like something thick but modern and tight. Kind of like a brick wall falling down on you.
I like the HD, but I'm getting really tired of Line6 ignoring the community. Just a few things is all I want. If they don't release something by early next year, I may seek other pastures.
I feel like the odd man out. I loved the more jazzy parts of Planetary Duality, and I feel like they really expanded on that with Autotheism, so I love that album.
I'll also vouch for Zzounds payment plan. That's how I was able to get my HD500 when I was working a shit job a couple of months back. They're super easy to deal with, and where I paid it off in time, they actually gave me deal one other gear by offering 12 month plans on a lot of stuff, which I...
Oh damn, I didn't know about that, but I'd rather just have a dedicated guitar processor, i.e, a direct competitor to the HD. AND, the musebox only has the lite version of ReValver. Seriously, ReValver is the best amp sim I've ever used, but I won't use it because if I did, then there'd be no...
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love my HD, but honestly, if Peavey every decided to put ReValver into a hardware platform, and add a few more amps/fx, the HD would be sold to fund that. Same goes for x50 and its ilk.
I'm hoping for your case and mine that if the remaining band members put on a good show, the audience won't notice. Most places have a house drum, so more than likely that would be sitting behind you guys. Since the audience doesn't much of the drummer anyway, as long as you guys can put on a...
Hey Mike, I'm from Huntington, and it's not much better down here, either. I'm in the same situation as you. I'm 24 and been married for about a year, just graduated in IT and I currently have to drive to and from Charleston everyday for my job. I'm really feeling you man. I'm trying to get a...
I'll echo the sentiments of someone earlier.

If this becomes a reality for under 1500, I'm boned.
