Ohhhhhh...
It's okay man, bottom line is that everyone should use what they want. But these digital modelling amps, Line6 and others, I guess I'm just more of a purist and like less options so I can tailor my setup with less choices.
It always drove me nuts to see new guitarists, teenagers, getting these modelling amps.
Spend all their time fiddling with the sound without figuring out how to play.I realize it must be nice to turn a knob and go from a Twin Reverb to a Marshall to an AC30...but it's not real. I'd rather get one amp and have less chance something break. All this digital stuff crammed into an amp, above vibrating speakers and such...something is bound to come loose eventually.
My Fender amps are so f'ing loud, barely ever have them above 3. I've had them repaired a few times, and one of them has had all the circuits, transistors, etc. covered in some kind of sealant to keep them from vibrating.
I wouldn't trade these amps for much else right now, because I really can't afford more expensive stuff like Orange or Hiwatt or a bigger Vox.It's also nice to have a setup that I never see anyone else with. My band is a three piece, so going with a stereo guitar amp setup, each amp mic'd and panned left and right, reverb on full, and the blend of clean and gain means we sound like there are 5 guitarists on stage. I don't see many three piece bands around here doing the stereo amp thing.
