So,
I found this plugin called Audio ease Cabinet which is basically a cab sim, I couldn't find any threads about it here so I decided to make a quick sample.
Link: http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Cabinet/index.html
It features 5 cabs, Marshall, Fender, Orange, Mesa and one that I can't recognize
. Not sure exactly what models.
You can download a 30 day trial from their homepage, and the demo works without any periodical hiss/silence.
Since there were no metal:ish sounds on their homepage I recorded a quick test
Test:
I used my Ibanez RG with EMG 81 into my emu 0404 soundcard, into soloC boosting soloC(settings:http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1063820/audioease_Test/settings.JPG). Dualtracked
After that cabinet, and finally just a lowpass at 12k
The settings i used in cabinet was like in the screenshot, same for all cabs. No further processing.
For some reference I ran the same DI:s through catharisstudio impulses s-pres8 and 1on-pres8. I actually added a c4 with sneap settings on the catharis tracks since I almost always do it, and I thought it would be more fair. just a lowpass at 12k at catharis tracks.
Reference track: s-pres8 first, then 1on-pres8

Cabinet tracks: first mesa, then fender, then marshall, finally orange
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1063820/audioease_Test/cabinet_mesa_fender_marshall_orange.mp3
Conclusions:
I liked both tracks and of course it is hard to judge by just one riff and without a real mix. But I think Cabinet has potential to be very good and the price is pretty cheap, 59.44 incl VAT. Of course there are loads of free impulses that are very good too, but it seams like a solid product.
What do you think?
