Same here. I couldn't come up with any combination that applied to me.

Heavily baited, invalid poll.

I'll bite. My wife says I'm a master at baiting, so I'm fine with the pretense.
It's all the power section, people. A tube-powered modelling amp sucks because the models suck or the amp wasn't built right, not because the concept is bad.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
I use modeling every day for practicing and for all my recordings, so ya I think it is great for me
I could not vote since all the questions were heavily baited
just tell me that this modeling tone in my solo project song is LAME:

Modeling for demos, amps for everything else.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
As with instruments, whatever sounds right to you is right.
Recently, I have been in the habit of running my guitar into a valve amplifier then feeding its loudspeaker emulated line output into my DAW, where I add further signal processing. The valve amp still wins for dynamic response. The modelling is good for textural David Torn type stuff.
... the music of the spheres ... subdivided and synthetic

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
Pretty much nothing in the poll fit with my thoughts, except the last answer.
My current needs are best met by digital rigs. That was not always the case.
You use what works best for you. That's it.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
I picked the ones that were closest...
- If I buy modeling, software only, don't need to spend money on soon-obsolete DSPs
- I don't believe any modelers record as well as an amp (yet?), so the point is moot
- I think modeling is the way to go looking forward
My recording rig is primarily digital. I mic a real guitar amp into DAW, then DI the bass and program the drums. Something like an AxeFX would be cool but I don't want to be left holding onto the bag when the AxeFX III drops, nor do I want to be suck with an expensive door stop once modellers finally come out that manage to put a nail in tube amp's coffin.
I think modelling is the future but I don't think we're there yet.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
If I were a audio engineer with a recording studio & had bands coming over then yeah I'd opt for one of the top two hardware modelers in the market today. Less cables, less variables, more consonants, more free space, everything in one box & would have enough money to buy the next big thing when it hits the market as well (lol).
As a player I'd like the all in one box ability for gigging & silent practicing, it would cost less than replacing tubes every 6months, less noise issues for poor power at gigs, less travel weight so more mileage from the car too(lol). That CLR speaker thing will be needed too for live use, probably two of them for stereo spread or just more mono spread. For home recording, software/plugins is a good affordable approach. Those mid priced modelers are also getting alot better. Zoom G3/G5, Pod HD500 & Tech 21 Character series stuff is already producing very cool sounds. I have a GT10 that I use for practicing at home, it doubles up as an fx box for my amp. That plus a Character series pedal would be the bomb to gig with for me & i'd keep the amp at home for good.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
No offence intended but IMO the poll is bogus...
My feelings are like this...modelers are not for me and personally I want nothing to do with them
However for guys that record at home they, like digital home recording solutions have made life much easier.
That said, IMHO most (almost all) of those digitally recorded home recordings sound pretty terrible so again as a collective people we took something that was hard to do, required a lot of practice and work to get right and made it as easy as possible and in doing so have removed all the real life and soul from it.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
You probably don't even realize how many recordings you're hearing that have digital modelling on some or all of the guitar tracks.
It's also faulty to assume that the method that requires the most skill and patience is the one that always produces the best results.

Re: Your attitude toward modeler gear and modeler software
yes! a million dollar studio and the finest tubular analog system is not necessary.
its like saying 3minute microwaved food is a bad thing, because it is missing something when you labor for 4 hours over a hot stove to make the same thing!
