I've used my Cab Clone for a few recordings. I haven't settled on a preferred pattern or setting yet, but I'm still playing around. It's worked really well on my two-channel C, and the recording I did w/my Archon hasn't quite taken form yet. One difference is that w/the C, I recorded the signal only through the Cab Clone. The song w/the Archon has the Cab Clone mixed with a mic'd track. I stepped away from it for a while because of other things, and when I went back to it, the Archon part isn't quite as pleasing as I thought before. I suspect it's the balance between the two tracks.
I have not watched the Anderton's video, but I suspect the Cab Clone is much like any other audio tool - it's going to work better for some people than others. And no doubt, if A gets a sound that he thinks is just the greatest thing, B is going to say, "Can you believe someone thought that was a good tone?"
