What's Your Forum Nameologist?
I saw these guys and got to check out their products for the first time at NAMM last year, and again this year:

They've really expanded the features on the guitar amp sim (the PRO version), and it sounds terrific. It's kind of a cliché to say this, but the amp models respond and feel like like a real tube amp - the more you dig in, the more crunchy (in a really good way) it gets, and if you ease up on the picking or turn your volume down, the sound cleans up nicely. And they've added a bunch of dedicated effects that sound killer. I've tried most of the amp sim software, and to me this is right at the top with the best that's currently out there. I sat and played around with it at their booth for a long time, which is a sure sign to me that I like a product - if I can get lost in it and really enjoy playing with it for a while, it's a winner (I have been known when trying out some guitars/amps/effects to pick up the guitar, play a chord or two, set it down and walk away quickly).
They've got a free version on the website with one amp model, and I think a full demo version. The programmer told me the PRO version (which I would totally recommend over the basic) isn't RTAS compatible yet, but will be soon (I use VST, so no biggie for me). Also, I think they have a stand-alone version coming soon.
I'm not affiliated with the company at all, they're just really nice guys with a small independent company making great products at a very reasonable price, and I want to give 'em a boost!
