Not sure why I even dabbled with this, but just thought it a worthwhile experiment and to my surprise the result was good.
I have my Jet City amp straight into the hotplate on load and then the line-out from that into a graphic EQ and then into a small full range (homebuilt) solid state amp into a full range hi-fi speaker. Simply by setting the graphic EQ to approximate the frequency curve of a guitar speaker (drop everything over 5k and everything below 100 (and fiddle with these settings)) the sound that then comes out of the full range speaker is on a par with that of a real guitar speaker. I suppose this is quasi modelling but without the annoying mic simulation. So the next thing to try will be to mic this up to see what it sounds like as the possibilities of this are enormous. I want to get a smaller full range speaker before I do any micing up of this as I do find that micing a smaller speaker gives more pleasing results in general (for me at least).
I will post clips once I get a 6 inch full range (car speaker probably).
