You don't have to use amp sims any more, at least not with VST. There is
a free convolution VST - PULSE by Rosen Digital Audio - and you load
up an impulse response of your favorite amp and go.



from a technical point of view, if that is literally an IMPULSE RESPONSE, I don't see how an impulse response can define the sound of a guitar amp.

an impulse response captures the linear characteristics like frequency response and reverberation, but does NOT capture non linearity characteristics like clipping and distortion.

Non linearity is obviously an important part of a guitar amp sound and is not captureed by impulse response.

Perhaps they are mis-using the term impulse response.

Maybe they mean transfer function. That comes a lot closer, although
it isn't a single equation.
