For fine tuning your sound, you can lay out your signal chain of tuner, pedal board, amp head, cabinet, microphones, microphone position, room, and post effects in nearly unlimited combinations. For performance, you can use the software in standalone mode with instant switching between presets using the integrated preset browser. You can even post and share user created presets online using the software's Preset XChange service.
For practice, the standalone software includes a SpeedTrainer that allows you to import tracks in Wav, Aiff, sd2, Apple Caf, Flac, or MP3 formats and then speed the tracks up or slow them down without affecting pitch so that you can learn to play your favorite songs and solos. For composing, the software includes a 4-track recorder for laying down riffs and ideas for songs. BPM synchronization and DAW automation allows you to seamlessly integrate the software into your production workflow.
