I don't want the amp models...just the cab models.
I find it hard to believe that there isn't any hardware out there to do this. Does nobody care for this option? I know most here either record direct from a POD or they mic their existing cabinets, but I would've thought there would be more people that would like to use models of other cabinets.
I tried using my GNX4 to do this and it stripped away the distortion coming out of my MP-1. So getting a cheap GNX or RP unit to do this is out. I've tried using the BBE DI-1000 and I guess it does ok for distorted guitars. It's hard to tell a difference there. It does an amazing job for clean guitars. Maybe I'm just going to be stuck searching for an ADA Microcab.
The other option is of course to mic my own cabinet, but I was hoping it wouldn't come down to that. I'd rather be able to dial in my cabinet sound using some knobs.
Anybody got any other ideas?

Why do you want to avoid software cab sims exactly? Any digital modeler is just software within a hardware interface anyway. Short of micing your cab, impulses are really the way to go, especially if you don't want to use the cab sims from your Digitech.
