Hasn't anyone heard of the ADA Ampulator

"I'm running my guitar through a Mesa VTwin pedal into my looping gear
and finally into a Roland K500 keyboard amp. My setup isn't stereo but
could easily be made stereo (just throw on another amp). For straight
guitar (with Mesa) this setup works pretty well, but you wouldn't
mistake it for a real guitar amp. If your straight guitar work runs more
towards rock than jazz, you probably won't be satisfied with anything
short of an actual guitar amp. For more melodic applications, however, I
think I prefer my setup, it has a sweetness and a clarity that guitar
amps don't. "

We agree...nothing like whacko power tubes and transformers for good ol' 
rock
tone...but we are impressed by the magic tricks of the ADA ampulator.  
Does a
good job of sounding and "feeling" like a runaway guitar amp...and get 
this,
you can adjust mic'd positions, tube bias, cabinet loads, and "classes" of
amps.

It's quite an interesting beast.  Only drawback is thatit's Mono...but just
put it in front of a Vortex and you're off...

Best,
