i have a transducer... if you are using amps which don't use a lot of preamp gain, its great.. however, if you are trying to track metal guitars (with tons of preamp gain) it doesn't stand up to a real cab. but for somewhat clean, or pushed guitars, even lightly distorted guitars it sounds fine you just gotta crank the volume on your guitar head...

1. personally, i think a real cab is going to sound more familiar and natural to your ears if you are used to recording real cabs.

2. if you have to track guitars at your house, where you can't be loud, the transducer will work fine. there is also a mod, which requires changing a cap or something, to get a little bit more scratchy top end...

just my opinion.
