Modeling amps suck

You just figuring this out?


Modelling is still years away from competing tone/feel-wise with a real tube amplifier.

 

 

Try Axe FX or an H&K zenTera.

 

I've had good tube amps and and the zenTera sounds better. Has all the feel too.

I love my roland cube 30x. No, it will never give the tones of a tube amp but the modelling is reasonable and so portable. For jamming with my acoustic mates its one simple grab in the car and off I go.

 

Simple, easy, light, portable, fun and sounds pretty good to me.

I don't jam with my mates, music is serious bussiness, thats why my guitar amp is gigantic.

I think the Digitech RP500 is awesome! The Fender Twin model is sublime. You can even turn off the amp modeling and use it like a pedalboard, and have access to hundreds of different pedals. A modeler through a good tube amp is divine. It's also so nice to just plug into a PA, rather than carting along heavy amp.

I agree that modelling amps have a little more development to go before they are competitive on a pro level, but eventually they will be good enough that 99% of musicians will never know the difference in sound unless they see the gear.

 

I absolutely love tube amps, but I use the processors because I like having my effects separate from my amps.

I have an RP1000 and GSP1101, that I use for sweetening studio tracks but live I use my wah and chorus pedal and compressor.

 

This time out I plan to have my Ovation on a stand and will just walk up behind it to play the clean parts, I like the way it sounds on the album so I will just use the same gear live.
