    Digital Modeling Amps vs. Old School stuff..

    Look, I've played for over 20 years..I used to have marshall stacks with every pedal known to man - noisy as all hell. And I'm pretty much a tone purist - nothing beats real tubes overdriving - that said once the digital modeling amps got mature in the last few years they are a much easier/cleaner and far far less noisy solution to a range of sounds. Yeah, I get pissed off when I see kids dialing in huge Metallica like tones with out having to deal with noise, hiss or feedback (crumugeon voice says "These damn kids today don't know how easy they have it") but having gone through it myself I really do appreciate the compactness and versatility of these digital mod amps..especially for live work. If I need a specific sound to record I'll borrow or rent an amp...
