I think the HX drives are among the better modeled drives but always felt something missing...like they're there in character but missing in fidelity and depth.

But then I wonder if I'm just imagining because whenever I see these comparison videos - they sound very similar (just talking about ODs here...the rest of the pedals like uvibe etc. are modeled fine)

Totally. I got a used Precision Drive to offload on DSP when I had an HX FX. The difference is definitely there and now I have a hard time running the modeled one, even if it would be more convenient. After that I’ve gotten a compressor pedal and a ”transparent” drive as well. It will be interesting hearing what you early adopters think of the drives running on Stadium!

Agoura doesn't do anything with the FX pedals. It's just amps. Don't think we'll hear much difference.

I always thought that an OD pedal would be way easier to model than an entire amp given the simpler circuit...but no it seems.

I guess that's what Proxy is there for. But I prefer modeling that scrolling through a million snapshots so hope they do some updating of the ODs.

I was thinking of the new hardware (converters etc.) and how DI has mentioned that older stuff might sound different based on such things.

I play in a similar vein - I'm just getting into recording - can you share your recording chain?

As easy as it gets. HX Stomp analog mono out into Motu M2 (could as well have used the Stomp as an interface but it's just more comfortable with the permanently hooked up Motu) into Logic on a Macbook Air. Delay and reverb courtesy of Logic because I wanted some stereo width. And that's it.
