Modeled sound quality: Zoom G5 vs RP1000

[eschoendorff]

Let me preface this by saying taht I really dig my RP1000. However, the technology is a little dated and I am wondering if the Zoom G5 has better modeling, assuming that the G5 is being used straight to PA.

Any thoughts? Are the G5 amp models better/more faithful to the real thing?

I haven't tried the Zoom G5, but I liked the Vox Tonelab ST over the Digitech RP500. To me, it's about the final sound coming out, not if the Marshall really sounds like a Marshall.

I liked the looks of the G5...So far the videos I've seen of it don't sound good and the tones are pretty synthetic...I've been a Vox ToneLab LE user for a number of years,but whenever any new floor modeler/pedal comes out,I'm interested...I like the Mustang Floor also and it may edge out the Zoom G5? Would have to plug in and see for myself? The tube boost feature on the G5 seems cool.

Has anyone tried both the RP1000 (GSP 1101/RP500) and also the G5?
