Well, I’ve said it a dozen times but to my ears the Vox Tonelab SE does a great job. Bill Walker’s selling his I believe. Built in looper too if your laptop goes down and need to make some noise for a while during a reboot.

Can anyone comment on the speaker emulation filter and tube sim/limiter of the FW800? Someone on the Max/MSP list commented that it was one of the best amp sims they've used. See below. Is any other high end firewire audio interface offering ann amp sim?
I am now focusing on how I can get the most natural electric guitar/tube amp sound on my system, BEFORE going into the laptop (so, no tube amp VSTs, etc). I need to do it with the audio interface, or by adding a real tube amp or high end tube amp simulator (hardware)

"The FireFace 800's Hi-Z instrument input offers a soft-limiter, which has been tuned especially for musical instruments. Due to a soft transition and deliberate creation of harmonics, the input signal is compressed steplessly according to taste, or the limiter can be used for distortion with tube sound. Activate the Drive circuit too for broad guitar distortion. The Speaker Emulation filter, which can also be switched on separately, takes low- and high-frequency disturbances away and guarantees an optimal basic sound even when recording directly into the computer, or when monitoring through a mixing console.
