I'm not gonna blow my load just yet, but if they've radically improved the sound, this could be a no brainer for me.
And because I already own a bunch of Amplitube stuff, when 5 launches, I install the custom shop version and test out the existing amps I've got. If I like the changes, I buy the upgrade and get the Bogner and Diezel, which are the ones I'm really interested in.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Absolutely. I am just a bedroom player so don't need much complexity in my set up but to my ears S-Gear is by far the best sounding amp modeller out there, even better than Helix.

Honestly???
I think it easily rivals anything NeuralDSP have to offer, and I think it rivals anything I've heard from my Helix, Kemper, or AxeFX's over the years.
I'm very impressed. The amps have a new solidity and sag to them that they did not have in previous versions. The poweramp improvements must be doing something nice.
The honky mids from Amplitube 2-4 are gone. Now we have very nice and pleasant smooth tones. Very much like what you get when sweeping a mic across a real cab.
The GUI's are beautiful. It shouldn't matter really, but somehow it does. It just feels nicer to use. Resizeable screen is great, and the user experience is very well thought out.
I am a fan.
So I've used bits of Amplitube on all three of my bands albums in the past, but often begrudgingly. The first album our other guitarist's DSL broke the day before tracking, so we ended up using a Marshall from Amplitube 2. Then on our 2nd album I used Amplitube 3 for some clean guitars and also as an extra layer of dirt on the bass guitar. Same thing on the third album.
Amplitube 5 wont make it onto the new album, everything is tracked already. But for recording at home I think this is a very viable product. I'm not hearing anything that I wouldn't put out on a record.
That isn't quite the first time I've ever said that. But it's one of the few times I've said that.
I used to be of the opinion that it's "all about the sound, man" and there are some plugs I use (airwindows) where having no GUI at all is a refreshing change.
But I think we are inherently visual creatures as we interact with tools and objects in the world around us, and there's no getting round it. The visual helps you comprehend and understand the tool that you're using.
Now, this can be used in a cynical way - by making something that sounds shit look beautiful it's possible to pull the wool over a user's ears, to some degree. An elaborate McGurk Effect.
But if the tool sounds great, why not have it look exactly like it sounds? That helps the user get into the headspace to best use the options in front of them in an inspiring way.
I'll deffo try out Amplitube 5.

I installed the Custom Shop version of AT5 and tested a bunch of my presets and found they sound more like the actual amps but even more important they play better. Usually UI improvements don't move me but in this case the AT4 UI was pretty bad so I really appreciate them cleaning that up.
I dabbled with AT4 and wasn't that impressed. Quality of the modelling seemed quite inconsistent to my ears and yeah, the UI, especially the preset browser drove me mad. V5 seems a big improvement.
And you are on the money with your interface, as it probably has to work very hard to give a decent latency and probably can't keep up.
