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.

Thanks !

Do you have any experience with amplitube or GTR or guitarrig or any of those?
I wonder whether I should use software or hardware.

Cheers!

- I dont think I care for metal sounds. I used to be a metal head, but now I mainly use my shredding techniques with a clean, and slightly compressed sound. I would also be interested in what amp, compressor, preamp and guitar that work best with the transducer -
