The Boss Katana seems to be the favourite modelling amp at the moment. Been to a couple of guitar shows where they were using them as the performance stage amps. I know the Andertons demos use them quite a lot as well.
There really isn't an 'industry standard' DAW any more. Pro Tools isn't as popular as it once was, but a lot of studios have it just because it's expected. But they normally have Logic as well, (or whatever a producer brings with them on their own computer) and quite often often the tracking is done in Pro Tools, then transferred over to say Logic for mixing. There is still a lot of love for Cubase, especially if there's a lot of MIDI work involved, and a lot of pros are now using the very cost effective Reaper. Ableton is also very popular in the EDM scene, but generally all the DAWs have the same level of features, but some make it easier than others to do certain things. One of my producer acquaintances, Jack Ruston, travels round several studios to work, and works on any DAW the studio has or the band bring with them (as often these days they have bits they've recorded themselves at home).
