Re: I love tubes, but can't get over how flexible modeling has become
Mincer, every bit of that is true- exactly why I got into modeling in the first place and 60% of my gigs are modeled as a result-
But (and this is a big but), when I have the opportunity to take the tubes out (stage support, good FOH, etc), I still do and I recognize that this is pure ego and 'sound for me'- There is something to be said about that big wall of air moving by.
But, as we've discussed before, I know that none of this is necessary for a good sound- The FOH guy is going to have to EQ out most of the thickness that makes it fun for me and has to deal with stage spill into the mix and the rest of the band has to compete with monitors.
So I'm being greedy and stubborn- but what I like about your scenario is that you really can only get all of your alternative tones with modeling- so your back is going to last a lot longer than mine
