Thing is, the modelling option is so much easier to control. There will always be die hard fans of that warm over-driven valve sound but unless you're an absolute stickler for detail, the average listener on the receiving end would not know the difference.
The technology in recreating different amp and speaker combinations as improved so much that to me anyway,(apart from the JC 120), I stick to either my Digitech pedal or the sounds in the Boss recorder. To achieve some of the sounds needed by blasting through a big amp means the volume is gonna be pretty loud which is sometimes not convenient and especially when recording, is harder to control.
Just one opinion, Gordon.
