   It has a couple of mic preamps ... but none of them are lo-fi enough.

BTW: This would be today's version of the cassette recorder technique:

	if it makes you happy, I'll also mention that I think that in the last few years they've been falling a bit behind as far as amp modelling technology is concerned ... I hope that they'll publish a completely new version some time soon (next year). Still, I'll keep using their technology ... I'm quite happy with it, and I have yet to find something better in the same price range (applies to the POD as well as the TonePorts - which are now called "POD Studio").

	Pretty much all the well done Peavey Revalver MK III clips I've heard always sound slightly fuller and less artificial. My main problem with Revalver is that unless you're using a Firewire interface and a Intel Quad Core CPU, you can forget about using it. It seems like to get anything close to low CPU usage you're expected to have a upper middle to high end CPU. But of course, if you're computer has the muscle power, it's strongly recommended for people that want to get the sounds of the Peavey 5150, XXX, JSX and a few more amps at amazing quality.

	^ Like I said above: The key is recording dry. In a few years you can get a new computer (probably an 8 core by then, with 16GB RAM) ... processing power won't be an issue then. Unless of course they release a new generation of plugins which are even better and use more processing power. But whatever happens: If you record dry you'll be able to use any amp/cab sim you like.

	It's a self generating evolution PF- more power and resources results in more powerful apps. Or, in the case of some, more bloatware

	^ I'm a software developer myself, and I know that just because some piece of software requires more processing power it doesn't mean it's better or more sophisticated ... it might simply be poorly written. But I don't think that's the case with software instruments ... there's a big competition between the manufacturers, and one of the key aspects of good plugins is that you can use many of them simultaneously.
