Re: Guitar Amp Modelers


This is key. The modellers are modelling not only the amp and effects, but the speaker AND the microphone.

Real comparisons have to be done comparing the modeller output to a recording of a mic'd amp through a PA or reference monitors. In this scenario they compare very well to each other.

People are still not convinced as I still see players with their amps in ISO boxes 50' from the stage which could easily be replaced by a modeller.

Much like IEMs, most hate them until they've gotten the right moulded ones with a great mix going through them.

It's the analog vs digital argument all over again.
