  Title : Are guitar amps still necessary today?  
         
  QUESTION:  
 
Hi

I want to get a good hard rock/metal guitar sound WITHOUT a guitar amp but through a direct connection through a digital effects processor or even a pc with good software.

Do you recommend doing this?
Have you recorded any music this way?

PS
You make every note count and have a very unique vibrato style.

I haven't heard anyone link and round each note to the next the way you do.
For example, on Megadeth album "Countdown to Extinction" your work was flawless.

You have an awesome guitar sound that is matched by no one!

But beware, Jeff Waters (Annihilator) comes a close second.

Keep up the great work. You have made an excellent contribution to music!

Roland VG 88 is the ulitimate for that. Get one NOW! I used one for my entire US tour and I use it in the studio all the time. Very cool!
