VGS 2020: We were lucky enough to catch up with Davide Barbi, CTO and co-founder of IK Multimedia, the influential firm behind iRig, Amplitube and much more, to talk about the current state of the digital modelling art, why digital is no longer seen as a compromise, and much more.

"Now, you have total control and the quality is not compromised anymore."
