X-Mann, I'm not doubting your words just a little taken back by his claim. To each their own. I'm anxious for some others here to give it a try and post what they think. There's a demo available. Granted, a great player can make anything sound good, but I still didn't think Ampkit sounded that good out of the gate! Anyway, Neil seems like a real down to earth nice guy, and that's great to see! I'd say it's obviously a real tribute to Neil's playing that he made Ampkit sound so killer!
