It's OK. You can get more unique sounds out of it if you take the time, but I don't use it much. I'd recommend Softube Amp Room over that, which is around the same price and regularly on sale.
The big caveat with that one is the login window that pops up whenever you load the plugin. You don't have to log in, but it sure is annoying.
My preference for the amps I own:
1. AmpliTube. I like Fender amps and this one has the best. It's been my go-to since v4. I think it's got the most gear for the money if you buy the big packages, but IK is really good at getting you to overspend, over time. I started out a la carte, but ended up re-buying all of it in one of the bigger deals...
2. Amp Room. This one has the most realistic sound to my ears and the best speaker sims and most flexible routing, but the standard package is pretty light on options.
3. Bias Amp. This one's the most customizable, but go for Bias FX if you can; I think it's the full package. Bias Amp doesn't have any FX.
4. ReValver. I use the AC30 on occasion, but that's about it. By far the cheapest.
But I regularly use 2 or three in series with custom speaker sims at the end. Can't overstate the importance of that last stage in the chain.
