My number one request that I haven't seen would be the ability to use effects/amps of Amplitube just like T-Racks:
AS SINGLES!!! [mod redacted: untrue and unnecessary] Obviously, I'd be willing to pay a reasonable crossgrade fee.
And, of course, more and better amps, pedals, etc.
Besides that, I've gone through most of the thread and quoted everything else I'd like to see. You'll notice that most of what I'm concerned with is usability of the product instead of gear slutiness.
NOTE: I've deleted a few points from various contributors' posts either because they weren't important to me, or redundant. doug@timberwoodsound.com wrote:I would like to see stereo capability on the front end. I.E.: stereo output stomp boxes, like chorus and delay, that can input into the two different amps.

- There should be measurement (numbers, Inch …) in the cab section for mic distance.
- A "Compare" button like the one in T-Racks 5.

- Would it be possible to increase the set of speakers available? For example: the 8inches models, the 10inches models, like th Celestion series, or Jensen, Eminence, etc ...
Maybe even some speakers broken, or demagnetized, etc...I know it seems a strange request, but (for example) a true Delta blues needs really ruined speakers

Just take a look what DigiTech and EHX have in their product lines. - IR loader and mixer! Something similar to the NI ToneRoom Pro, but with the ability to load user IRs and mix them.
- Disable and bypass buttons for every module available globally, that is without clicking that module to change the current view and then click again to enable/disable it.

- Advanced noise reduction - something better than a gate - the Noise Reduction module in GuitarRig is quite good (as an example)
HERE IS THE BIGGY - IT WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! - Improve the cascading menu behavior - My god it is SO frustrating to keep re-selecting options when the menu collapses b/c I didn't keep my mouse pointer precisely aligned over the selection when I move it over to click the next item. Makes my blood boil and sucks too much joy out of playing electric guitar. Please -for the love of all this is holy - fix this.

- Finish the Tone Cloud? There's a link in my program for it, but it goes to a dead website.
- Add tone matching..... but do it right or don't do it all.
- Update some of your amps. The Metal V especially needs love, it's lack luster compared to basically every other 5150 sim and having a good 5150 sim is just as important as having a good marshall sim (of which you have many)
- Put a grid on the mic placement section. Even if it doesn't equate to "real world distance", there was no reason to remove the grid between AT3 and AT4.
- Building on that, take a look at Revalvers cab section. I like that you can freely move the mic anywhere in Amplitube but at the same time i think you should have "reference" spots users can click on for common mic placements if they want to. This would help novices who don't really get how to mic a cab.
- Automated input trim. A lot of modern sims do this now and it's helpful with people who swap guitars with different output pickups a lot. I use a trim plugin to compensate, but auto trim would be better.
- Fix the noise gate/tuner. Amplitube is notorious for having a terrible built-in noise gate and tuner, although this is partially fixed by the slash noise gate and the ultra-tuner.
- Make an official in-depth tutorial video. The "here watch ola's video" thing, not effective.
- Add Off-axis mic positioning.
- Update the microphones. Some of them, like the 57, seem a bit off in their frequency response.
- Clean up the Fizz/digital low end. A lot of the high gain amps are over the top fizzy or way too overcompensated on the low end, even with minimal gain.

- I'm not in love with the wood floor in the UI. A simple black background would do the job.
- The digital reverb really needs an update (room, hall, plate, gate setting). Way too strong, I only use the first 5% of the mix. Maybe offer a switchable control so the knob only affect the first 10% of the mix settings?
- Some generic pedals graphics are soso. Maybe make them less cartoony. On better : is skeuomorphism mandatory? Think outside the box.
- An "A/B" switch state button would be beneficial when testing settings
- More mic choice and positions (unidyne 545, e906, off axis, back of cab).
- A button or a way to see the distance (X and Y) value to put the mics at the same distance would be great. As of right now it's guessing.
- The cap-edge is more significant than the rest of the speaker. A way to magnify the mic positing in that position would be a great tool.

- A good reverb or three. The Fender '63 is better than the free one, but it's not very versatile. AT really needs a reverb with some options - plate/room/hall/arena, delay, diffusion, etc. Like a real reverb.
- I might be missing something but the Custom Shop is pretty hard to navigate. Want to see Fender cabs? Well, if you go to Brand > Fender, you have to go through a page of stomp boxes, then two pages of amp heads, before you get to cabs. Searching for "Fender Cab" or "Fender Speaker" (without the quotes) is even worse, that adds in the rack effects before the speakers. Searching for "Fender Speaker" or "Fender Cab" (with the quotes) shows nothing.

I'm thinking, like, a right-click on the image of the given model in the interface pops access to other models of that type (amp heads, cabs, pedals, speakers, etc. -- maybe with "recently used" and/or suggested/similar models first .....
