Thanks Slau, glad you got bumped to version 12. I'll probably upgrade then. Have you got any experience of 11 the Guitar sim? Is it accessible and how does it compare to things like waves gtr? and hows the convolution reverb? Those are probably the 2 things which would make me swing for the$199 upgrade.
