For guitar distortion, I've found that at 4x oversampling the quality starts to sound bearable, and 8x is what the CAPS units use (with an up- and downsampler FIR filter of 64 taps each). When I started working on virtual amps, this page helped a lot: http://web.archive.org/web/20051128104636/http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~mmccorq/tubes/simulation/simulation.html It contains a fairly detailed 12ax7 model (the best I found on the net at that time), in a roughly drafted preamp netlist: http://web.archive.org/web/20050905045956/www.eecs.umich.edu/~mmccorq/tubes/simulation/preamplifier.sp My own interest in re-running spice simulations of such circuits is pretty limited (sorry Robin!) but perhaps you may find this interesting.
