Very useful for layering, those amp sims. I used to do three takes of the amp mic'd up but also split off the dry signal sent straight to the board. That usually gives you enough 'matter' to edit around and create as full a sound as you need without any hard work. If you're not making a record for a record company to sell to the public then it's hardly a problem in the digital domain when done tastefully.
