[font=trebuchet ms]Digital modelling is getting better, but it ain't there yet. At first, it can sound really good, but then you start to notice that it doesn't respond well to a players touch. The dynamics get compressed too much, and it all starts to sounds the same. Especially with a lot of distortion effects. The real sound is still a mic in front of a raging tube amp, with the effects dialed-in at the sound board. Which is why I've stopped using stomp-box effects between the guitar and the amp.[/font]
