Hello,
any of you people out there using a guitar preamp (like a SansAmp PSA) and feeding that to a speaker simulator plugin on your computer? I've been using this for some time and get really usable sounds (with Guitar Rig 2 speaker sim only) and was wondering if anyone else is doing it, what they're doing it with and how they feel it compares to the mic'd cabinet. I mostly do the saturated/modern thingy for metalheads and an occasional chorusy jazz or rolling stones-style rock, and to me it sounds pretty much authentic (to the players as well, got only

and

for now)!
So, opinions and other combinations, please?
