Quotes from the enthusiastic review on RecordingReview.com:

"There are some products where you know right out the gate that you have something that extremely well thought out. Some products just leap out at you and you say "Wow!" I feel this way about AmpliTube 2. It's clear that these guys know exactly what they wanted in terms of features and put some serious effort into making something that kicks major ass. I'm impressed."

"Do You Want These?

    * Tons of pedals?
    * Tons of guitar amps that really sound different?
    * Tons of power amps that really sound dramatically different?
    * Tons of guitar tone controls?
    * Tons of guitar cabinets?
    * Multiple mics?
    * Multiple mic placements?

You got 'em!"

"AmpliTube 2 is extremely full featured."

"With AmpliTube 2, you plug in. You hit a few knobs and you are there. You can certainly tweak later if you so desire, but I've found that snagging an exciting sound seldom takes more than 2 minutes. It seems like all the conventional obstacles have been removed. What obstacles am I talking about? I'm talking about that X factor that keeps my real amps from sounding screamingly awesome on recordings. That roadblock simply doesn't exist in AmpliTube 2. The AmpliTube 2 tracks sit in the mix very well without any of the excessive low mid stuff I often fight. In other words, the AmpliTube 2 tracks sound finished on the way in. I don't feel the need to shoe horn them into a mix like I find myself always doing with real electric guitar tracks. I don't mistake excessive low-mid crap for "thickness" with AmpliTube 2 like I often do with real electric guitar tracks. (I've got a damn room mode that always seems to hide the mud in my electric guitar sounds I have to solve!)"

"The only ideal solution is to have all available tools at your disposal. This is the main reason I love the AmpliTube 2 so much. Maybe the Gibson SG Mr. Guitar Player uses feels a little wrong with amp #1, we just move on to amp #2 or use cabinet number #2. This ability to match the guitar with the amp / cabinet works the same way a real setup would, but without consuming the cash, space, and time it takes to implement the real thing."

"AmpliTube 2 has been 100% reliable. Using it nearly every day for a month I can't recall having one single problem with it. Again, this is a testament to the caliber of products that IK Multimedia is cranking out."

"AmpliTube 2 kicks ass. I'm considering selling all of my real amps now why they still have a little bit of value because they may not in 2 years."

"In other words, AmpliTube 2 is a winner even if you've got 3 very desirable real amps collecting dust in the corner."

"I suspect that if I sold all my guitar amps and was forced to use AmpliTube 2 for the rest of my days, it wouldn't bother me one bit."
