He did a decent job. He was just trying to show the tones available and I can forgive it.

IMO, modelers sound ok but not great, they are missing that "it" factor that a really good tube amp will give you. I've played one through a so-so Marshall DSL401 tube amp and helped but still sounded just ok, not great. This is coming from a Vox Tonelab. I've also tried it through my home PA and it sounded better than going through the tube amp :tard:. Still doesn't sound great though.

Hit GuitarCenter yesterday. First decent-sized music store I've been in in two years. Culture-shock. Anyway, they were unhelpful as usual and wouldn't let me plug into an amp and use the amp's preamp and there was only a headphone out accessable. So it was hard to evaluate what I was hearing. Headphone sounds were very good taking into account the crappy headphones and who knows what else in the signal chain from the crappy mic preamp. Then I plugged through the return on a VOX AC30 effects loop (only amp close enough to the rp1000, which couldn't be moved). It sounded great. Didn't do a great job of dialing it in but it did sound good. Liked it better than straight into the amp (with the preamp, not the fx return, lol :laughing8: ). The effects were great, I liked them alot and the delays were also great, especially the 2-tap which I've been needing for years. I didn't really like the stomp boxes but the unit wasn't even plugged in properly. I want one.
I really like my RP250, which has the same basic chips and tone & effects, just a few less. You can turn OFF the amp modeling and just used it for the excellent reverb, delays, chorus, EQ.... one thing I like about a modeler is being able to dial in just enough chorus (or pingpong delay, or stereo flange) to stereo-tize your output. I use a SWR SM-500 with two Black Widow cabs, 250 watts each. TWO amps are fun, too.... With an ordinary chorus, it's either full-on Andy Summers 80's swish, or off. "Speed" & "depth" are NOT the same as a level percentage control, in fact I find it hard to use regular stomps now that don't let you control the proportion of un-processed tone going through. I have the RP, and a Boss VF-1for when I want to get all techy and menu-y. I sold my PODs because the Digitech & Boss are more musical.
