Amplitube is one of the plethora of modelers out there for the computer. Basically, you get some sort of mic pre or interface, plug it into your computer and then plug your guitar into the interface. This will allow you to play amp models and effects through your computer. The application itself can either be stand alone, or you can enable it in your favorite DAW. Either one will work perfectly fine, but I have a feeling anybody who is doing recording will enable it via their DAW. I didn't experience any compatibility issues with it, so there are no issues there. I never read the manual, so I can't comment on that. It's pretty easy to set up, and everything is laid out in a mostly easy to understand manner.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I experienced some stability issues with this program. It would crash randomly, and I would have memory errors for whatever reason. My computer is no slouch, so it had to have been the actual application causing the issues. I never experienced the program hogging up too much memory, but it still took a decent chunk. If you're running a computer that's a bit dated, this software might not be the best. The worst part was the way it sounded. It sounded very much like a harsh and sterile modeler. I wasn't able to dial out that specific treble that modelers have, and the feel was atrocious. The effects weren't that great, either.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for some sort of amp modeler out there, I recommend the many free solutions. Not only do they cost nothing, but they also sound better. Just get some sort of impulse loader for your DAW and you should be good to go. I can't really recommend this software, but I've heard some decent tones out of it from other people, so I can't totally dismiss it.
