Even if you can copy a Ma--ha-- distorto sound with a pedal, it always sounds better when it goes through a tube amp. I understand the concept behind a modeling amp, but I like the sound I like. Clean, dirty, and all of the adjectives in between, I have found that tube amps just sound better to my ears. I guess the real trick is knowing what you like. Then you can get all into making tube amps and, well ask CB about that...
