At least for the recent version I would not back that. You have the new
AmpVTS from David Yeh, that comes with tone-stack simulations like '59
Bassman, '69 Twin Reverb an the like:

plus: never miss the cabinet-speaker simulation, there is a lot of
vintage stuff here also and it works quite well.

good idea: I did not get anywhere near a usable result with caps before
I applied a compressor AFTER amp/tone stack.

As of now I use the CAPS-stuff for rock/metal sounds both clean and
distortion sound very good but it depends strongly on the guitars being
used. A Fender Telecaster came up with some very sophisticated
cleansound with some chorus quite near the sounds one might have heared
on jazz-rock recordings like some of Fred Frith or some Zappastuff.
