Much better than most modelers to my ears, check out:

+1. Once I latched onto my T21 Trademark 60 1x12, and really figured out working it's interactive gain & tone circuitry, it's done everything and more some great Fender (Deluxe Reverb, Bandmaster, Super Reverb 4x10) & Peavey (Mace 2x12)tube amps I used to have could do. At low volumes or high.
And the SansAmp DI 'picks up' the Celestion Seventy80's 'flavor' like an SM57 aimed at the cone...without waking my wife or granchildren in the dead of night, because I use headphones or face the firing squad.
This is an analog 'modeling' amp, not digital. There are no 'preset' amp types like my Boss MicroCube (great little amp for what it does) or Behringer Bass V-amp. You 'dial-in' a sound by mixing the various interactive parameters. when you find 'it', you make yourself a diagram of the settings, and that's that. The manual comes with a boatload of settings to get some 'signature' sounds, but in the end, it will all depend on which guitar you're using, and your hand, how a particular setting combination delivers.
