I don't known that much about amps, really. I've been playing through software modelers and what I've learned has mostly come from reading "Great Guitar Tone with IK Multimedia Amplitube: The Official Guide" which actually goes over a lot of the basics of how effects, pre-amps, power tubes, cabinets, and microphones come together for the sound you hear on albums. The thing I've got from listening to amps in stores is that no amp does it all, and especially not at all volumes.
Recently, I was watching a video for Catlinbread's RAH pedal, which makes your guitar sounds like it's going through the same type of Hiwatt amp that Jimmy Page played live at the Royal Albert Hall. And it got me to thinking, Amps are much more expensive than pedals, so does anyone really use pedals for all the dirt, and then run things through an extremely clean amp? Is such a thing doable?
