Ampsim through a real cab.

Dear all,

I'm sure many here play guitar with a VST ampsim through the monitor speakers. Others, including myself, through hi-fi/multimedia speakers.

Is there anyone playing through a real cab? Do you like the sound out of it? What's the setup? I imagine the signal chain would be something like: ampsim -> power amp -> guitar cabinet.

For the record, I have a vintage-sound tube amp and have inserted the signal coming from REAPER in the FX loop of the amp. Did not like too much because I had side effects due the design of my amp. Not too mention it is somehow cumbersome having to change the setup everytime. :rolleyes:

Would you please share your inputs? Thanks! :)

PS.: My cab is a 2x12" Celestion Greenback G12M (25W).
