Alright, so the time has finally come, I believe, to render our dear impulses obsolete and move onto a new technology that can get us that last bit of tonal quality when modeling cabinets.
What I'm talking about is Acusticaudio's Nebula 3. Software that incorporates their Voltera Kernel technology, which is based around sampling the spectral characteristics of piece of gear/room/whatever, but with the added benefit of modeling distortion and nuance over time. This is one thing that impulses lack, and it's a telltale sign that takes away a lot of the breath and feel of real speaker movement.

This technology has come up in the past, but not many showed interest, likely due to a general ignorance about what it is and the implications it actually has for all of us who record guitars.
It's time to take the initiative, and I can't think of a better forum than this to be the forerunner of applying this really exciting new technology to guitar recording.
I would jump at the opportunity to do this, however I don't own any amps or cabs, so I'm not able to. Even if I did, I fear that the cheap I/O chain I have here would not suffice. So here I am, basically imploring the big players with their big amps and big willies to give this a shot and see how it turns up, for the benefit of all!
