but the ADA doesn't take Speaker input, right?
only preamp or FX loop out, if i'm not mistaken.

i have a H&K Red Box Pro. it does the job.
you can get a Palmer PDI-09 for $160.

Oh good call! I forgot to ask the OP how it would be used. Still way cool!

I´ve used the Carl Martin Rock Bug a few times, it did the job ok and the price definitely is right.

Prob too expensive but check out the stuff from twonotes... The torpedo and C.A.B

I've been really interested in this too, in the past. Done a ton of searching. Here's some more obscure ones you may not have heard of:

I have the Live (CAB with loadbox in rack format) and it rocks. It's the best sim I've tried until now, the only issue is that you can't mix the IRs, it's only for the bigger version.

Unfortunately, it's out of OP's budget. I would better go for recording wothout the speaker sim and apply IRs in your DAW, it'll sound waaaay better IMHO.

Do you already have preamp so you need a speaker sim only? Or you want to use your amp, so you need speaker sim + dummy load for your amp? Or you just want to go direct and need amp and speaker sim?

So, suggestions for each answer:
1)I would suggest to try some Cab Impulse software.
2)I do not know, if you can find cheaper load box/ amp sim, then palmer
3)Sansamp Character are nice, especially if you spend some time to tweak them.

Hi there!
The C.A.B. got a nice review in a Greek magazine: http://www.musicheaven.gr/html/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3747
If you click on "English" at the top of the page you can read an acceptable automated translation. The article contains some clean, crunch, and distorted sound samples.

Why not a full modeller? Pod hd, zoom g3/5

 

[Footbutt]

yeah, to the OP: what exactly are your needs?
do you have an amp and need a 'dummy load' speaker sim?
are you just running all of your pedals directly to a recorder?
