yeah, hmmm.....
it *might* be interesting, if & when the target sound-sources (modelling, 
etc) are capable of reading/translating complex hands-to-strings-to-amp 
gestalt, and when the modellers attempt something more interesting than 
the 
'perfect ac30' or 'perfect tweed amp' type of tones.
(like guitar 'synthesis' --- the idea is cooler than the end-result, for 
me, 
as the sound-sources never have been capable of *furthering* the striking 
& 
visceral, gross/disgusting/beautiful idiosyncracies inherent in 
hand-guitar-amp-feedback relations.....)
2 cents.
