Both the products are freaking AMAZING.
Neither works for me by playing thru them, as I can't cope with the slight delay in the sound...BUT I almost only record guitars of late by simply playing it straight to PC, imagining all the sound as I do it, and add sounds later via AMplitube and Guitar Rig. I don't think I ever had as good sounds and it's so ridiculously easy too.
All it requires is to learn how to play direct, and imagine how it will sound...I assume it would be very difficult even if I had little experience of playing thru amps, but as it happens I find it ultimately easier to play like this. You're not limited by the sound and you can also play with ultimate accuracy as your sound doesn't mask anything etc.
Plus you can just duplicate the tracks and run it thru several simultaneous plugins...
