Basically it is a matching eq, isn't it?

Taken from GS forum from one of the guys behind the project,

It is not modelling, in the sense that most people use the term. There is no model that is imposed on the pickup signal. Rather, during training, the algorithm learns all the body resonances that the mic hears, which manifest as both frequency and time phenomena, and that the pickup does not have access to from its vantage point. ToneDexter builds a transform filter, which we call a WaveMap, and applies it to the pickup signal, and this restores almost all of what the mic heard during training.

Could you do this with an EQ? Not practically, due to the 30 to 100 or more adjustment in both magnitude and phase that would have to be made to merely approximate that sound of your guitar's body.

This looks interesting.

Equator D5's get great reviews and should be in your price range. Not tried them myself, Adam A7's and Avantone MixCubes here but I'm considering getting a pair of the Equator D8's at some point. Again these seem to get great reviews everywhere.

Equator D5 Amazon UK user review - Perfect for guitar By Virgin 100 meg user on 4 May 2014.

I use these with an Axe FX 2 and also tested with the Roland VG-88.
Doesn't colour the sound so the exact amp/cab modelling comes through.
Impressive volume too and copes well with bass-heavy sounds. Comparable
to monitors costing much, much more.

For metal I always use one guitar and two different amps and then sometimes layer tones from different speakers (V30 & G12T) and then pretty much what Deadlight has already said above.

The vocals sound great to me. As Syre has already mentioned "Classic power metal vocals"

I also have a Roland (Edirol) interface on my second machine. Again, rock solid drivers (Windows) and good support. Never had any issue's with this either.

Long time Cubase and RME (FF800) user myself and never had a problem with this set up.

Really like the Speedster Profiles. Thanks for sharing.

3 more hi gain Profiles on the RE.

Just added two more to the RE, see 1st post.

There are also still no profiles to try

i always wondered about 3120...really like a new XXX?

It's exactly the same amp but with el34's as stock vavles instead of 6l6's. Not tried it with 6l6's yet.

I have a 3120 (same amp as XXX) and it works fine for profiling. The green channel on my 6505+ doesn't though with the crunch switch in, it just can't capture the bass end at all but the red channel works fine.

EQUATOR D5 are getting good reviews.

Here's one review
