Excellent post. Actually I've been thinking about setting up a rig specifically for this purpose. Run the guitar => DI or preamp => Audio card =>DAW w/ VST amp sims, etc. Monitor the track's output through a seperate out on the Audio card then into the outboard amp/ cab. Something like that. Haven't tried it, don't know if or how well it would work.
Problem with any of this is the cab has to be so loud that it's been difficult or more like impossible to monitor existing tracks while recording. Maybe some of those "Headcrusher" 'phones? Wondering how you do it?
