There are a lot of applications where it just needs to be seen from a
distance and be vaguely close enough. For lead guitar, yeah, the cabinet
simulators are just awful. But for rhythm guitar in a fairly dense mix,
nobody will ever notice. For backround tracks that are supposed to be
slipped under production voiceovers and for jingles, they're just fine.

No one will ever noticed? I found this "wall of sound" for guitar
interesting at first, but it loses it's appeal rather quickly. This is
why a lot of modern rock guitar songs all sound the same.

Back in the day when Jimmy Page was laying down a track, it wasn't
quadrouplized to make it sound full. ONE guitar track sounded full. Hear
the difference? Damn right!
