my hearing isn't good enough to give a reliable comment on the quality. but my brother plugged his into the SB audit and it sounded fine to me.
he said the card also had pre-sets to simulate different effect pedals.
Take David Gilmour for example. Most everyone knows he uses Hi-Watt Guitar amps exclusively. Plug in an American Series Strat into it, it still doesn't have that "sound". Now put the Albemic F2-B BASS Preamp he has ahead of the Hi-Watt and VIOLA!.
Hell, the following makes me laugh. In Zeppelin's heydey, most people don't realize that Jimmy Page's amps were in false cases. The "Marshall Head" on stage had it's innards removed and was merely a novelty. Everyone "wanted his sound" that he deliberately foiled folks EVEN roadies. When they did the remastering on their DVD. The Mixing Editor needed to know what amps he was using at the various performances, Jimmy said "You want to know what I was using to tell everyone don't you?!" Jimmy didn;t realize that some of the films footage had some audio blemishes that could have been "easily fixed". But he still wouldn't tell, even after 23 years.
Come on, you should be able to hear the difference in quality. No computer can effectively "replicate" pedals. They come close, but it is easy for me to differentiate. I sat behind a drum kit for 14 years.
