That's the best am VST I've used yet. I've been using it in my system for over 2 years, admist 15 other VST amp sims that didn't make the cut. It's a great little VST amp, with a lot of options. Tonight I was doing A/B tests between that VST and my MicrCube, and I favored the MicroCube again. I don't know what the Roland guys did inside that thing, but it they did something right. Too bad they don't make a Roland MicroCube VST sim, or at least a foot pedal.
