Hahaha I love reading everyone argue back and forth about who is real rock producer and what the PROPER way to record guitar is..

To answer the original question posted, you actually got a really nice sound. The tone doesnt sound shallow or over processed like most amp sims. I just got a copy of the new Logic 9 and messed around with the amp modelers a bit.. You can tell these companies are spending tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars researching gear and hiring engineers to duplicate these sounds to almost sound like the real thing. If used tastefully, you can get really nice recordings using these modeled amps.

I must admit, there is really no way to beat the sound of a vintage plexi through a telefunken pre.. We've all heard this sound in records for the past 50+ years. It works.
But not everyones budget allows them this luxury.

I think you got a very useable recording with that amp modeler. If it works for your taste and your clients taste, by all means use it. Im no big time producer, just a fan of good recordings..

Keep up your good work man.
