Have you every thought about using Rocksmith as a virtual amp?
As usual, I tried things differently with Rocksmith, I’m running my PS3 into my Tascam Digital Portastudio and run the clean guitar track into the PS3. I’m using Rocksmith’s effects loop to play around with the guitar track to see what kind of sounds I can get.

Spring 4-Track Challenge: Getting my 4-Track ready to record
Since I started recording on my 4-Track back in 1993, I’ve always followed a strict way to record to keep the sound as fresh and clear as possible.
1. I demagnetize the heads. My father bought a demagnetizer in the mid-80s and since he stopped using it at this point, I started using it whenever I record or do a major mix down of a song.
2. Clean the heads. I always clean the heads before recording or doing a mix down.After I’ve done these two steps, I show you how I recorded the scratch track from the digital porta-studio to the 4-track.
