Theres a bit of a gap betwixt theory and practice here... whilst linear
amps arent theoretical, the 'amp emulator' is and would need
considerable research to get right.

I think the technology exists, but it isn't going to be cheap. You'd
need to model the amp (probably using convolution, by measuring impulse
responses), a la Focusrite's Liquid Channel, and then use a bucketload
of DSP to implement the model. The DSP engine and software would
probably cost more than the amp, and therefore defeat the object. SHARC
DSP chips might be two a penny in ten years though.

Then of course you'd have the audiophile argument about the 'colour'
introduced by the DSP unit itself...
