That should be plenty fast... My guess is you'll need a combination of plugins. But remember that an important part of the guitar equation is the frequency / transient response of the speaker cabinet. Tim Goetz has done some useful plugins for this kind of thing, in his "Caps" plugin collection: http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html Maybe try something like: input -> PreampIV -> Cabinet -> output ... hmm, i'm gonna go build it and try that myself :-) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
