Wow Uma, you guys aren't kidding, that sounds a lot like my tweed bassman and 63 tank. Modelers are really getting viable now for home recording...

Too right we're not kidding...
The thing is, Uma probably only had the reverb on something like 7,7,7 or thereabouts. Thanks for that Uma!

I'm half-tempted to buy - the only suckfish is latency... as always, it irritates the bejesosh out of me, even if only a few milliseconds, I can still 'feel' it.

The vibro-kings built-in '63 reverb is more quiet and stable - I wonder if this reflect reality...

Mix was about on 5, Dwell on 7 or 8, Tone about the same. It does indeed get wetter.

.

I bought a m-audio jamlab for 36 (I use another modeling software anyway). It gives me 12 ms of latency.
This delay cannot be noticed by humans as far I know.

Warning: I read elsewhere that jamlabs do not work well with amplitube fender on macs.

Using a cheapo Soundblaster card that is beefed up with the (free) KXaudio program, I'm running it at 5 milliseconds latency - I don't notice it at all. I might get away with less once I upgrade my RAM. If it works like that, I don't know.

I've always thought that Amplitube was one of the better (if not the best) amp sim programs. The amp selection leaves me baffled though; it's missing a bunch of great amps while offering some rotten ones. It could be a great tool for headphone practice and recording!

Some company should make a pedal with a similar '63 emulation.
The gap between a crappy (for surf music) reverb pedal and the real thing ('63) is too large.

This emulation on a pedal would be a great solution for amateurs like me.

Sounds pretty authentic - only thing... it sounds a bit too perfect. Too clean, tanks I have heard have a bit more of randomness to them.. more dynamic. Am I just crazy?

yeah, I run it a bit more, at like 30ms I think... I can't remember. It's at about there where I can begin to feel it. 5ms latency is mental? How is that done! I have a macbook pro... a little old (it's still using Tiger) but it should still kick ass. I use 50% CPU on about 10ms latency!

I already have a tank, but I would absolutely buy a pedal if it sounded like that.

I don't know how I can achieve 5ms latency. I'm not really tech savvy about computers. I only have about 750mb RAM - my computer is seven years old. It may have something to do with KXaudio (which is freeware), but honestly I don't know.

Which guitar interface would you recommend? Is the Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 USB Audio Interface enough? Will it work with Amplitube Fender?
