Own one for about ten years, main preamp on my guitar rack, sometimes bored, sometimes amazed...
I can achieve really great lead tones, but clean sound is so so and rhythm tone can be hard to dial.
Will post some samples (miced with custom 2x12 cab with EVM12L) later...
-edit- here it is:
-Just in case, drums suck, everything was made back in 2004 with Playstation One (yes, the first one from 1995) software called "Music 2000" (or MTV Music Generator in North America)-
In addition, it was my first mixing stuffs, so everything is not well balanced, sorry for that, just focus on guitar tone, this is the topic !
(Guitar used at that time was a RG270 with Super Distortion on bridge and Air Norton on neck)
Sometimes, like on "Funky Street", there is this shitty midi bass, you are warned ^^

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Old/the 7 Minutes Thrash_v.1.2_Rico_mix.mp3 (good as well)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Old/Thrashy remix.mp3 (old school thrash à la Annihilator, good)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Old/Death.mp3 (guitar tone is so so, music is death metal cliché between Cannibal Corpse and slow Suffocation)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Old/Californian Boogie remix.mp3 (instrumental stuff like Vai or Satriani...)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Old/Funky Street remix.mp3 (instrumental groovy stuff like Greg Howe, Bettencourt funky stuff, shitty midi bass ^^)
So, what do you think anyway ? most of the time it was miced with a borrowed SM57 through some digital 4-track boss stuff, didn't use any computer at that time (except PS1 for all the midi stuffs)
-edit 2- Oups, I almost forgot, here is a recent project, first example with miced cab (same gear as above, except drums made with Metal Foundry and Reaper as DAW):

Same stuff, lot longer, with amp sims, impulses, nothing was miced:

And a last example, recent one too, a song from a friend (black/death stuff), miced guitar, same gear as above (kick is WAY too loud, I know):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2816078/Zic/Metal/JeffTriple Mark III_Rythm.mp3
Do you think it is worthy enough to go on micing with this gear ?
