I guess I do this a lot . . .. but rather than try to answer this post I will ask a related question in order to gain some enlightenment.
Paul Reed Smith was talking about resistance (I don't recall the tech. term . . .impedance maybe?) and said that a lot of people hate they way wireless systems sound but that if you put a twenty foot cable b/w the guitar and the wireless system (wrapped around your strap or something) that the resistance would increase and it would sound better. The idea being that guitars are designed to use this resistance in the creation of tone. What would increasing cable length do to affect the tone and response of these simulations?
That's an interesting question, in terms of bringing physics into the argument, but I don't think it would increase the "realism" of the amp simulators if that's what you are getting at. I suppose if PRS said it it must have some logic but I can't honestly say that I notice a difference when using a 50 foot cable as opposed to a 5 footer tone wise between my guitar and amp. and I don't think the ability of the simulators to emulate an amp relies in the resistance as applied to the circuit between the preamp and poweramp as it does to the circuit of the simuators themselves. Or maybe I'm missing your point. Also, I'm pretty sure I just confused myself even more by posting this.
