I get it, here's your I'm-An-Asshole-On-The-Internet merit badge, run along and go rehearse for your next 4 hour cover band gig and let the adults talk.

Just in terms of sheer choice, I think the Amplitude Deluxe may be your best choice. I have only the free version that came with my iRig HD and really would like all of the amps and stomps available on that.

Those Loverboy solos ain't gonna learn themselves!

Appreciate the thoughts on the Amplitude .... after posting, I had the following thought: Geez, I own 50+ FX, a fair bit of analog gear, and got a huge # of processing plugins with Reaper and my Focusrite.

Which led to the thought: I honestly would prefer to not buy any more hardware, ever (lulz .... at least for 2 months), and maybe if the amp sims are good, I could look at this as a way to add a bunch of nice Fender tweed-y things. The free DRRI on iPad sounds amazing.

Or something 'different' that I wouldn't otherwise spend money on (like the "White Channel").

Plugins are hella expensive.

I have a I have a IK Media Stomp I O. $100 when guitar center was blowing them out. Came with tons of software. Bass sounded really good through it. Guitar- Amazing clean Fender sounds. As good as the clean was, that's how horrible any of the distortions were. haven't played with it in a couple of years. The computer I put all the software on died. Never bothered redoing everything. Still get emails from them. So, I know they have come out with a lot since i last tried it. Based on only what I know for sure, I'd say get the Fender collection.

Got the Fender collection. It's terrific.
