Talk me out of buying 20 year old modeling tech...

My apologies to the OP for the thread derail.

Not at all man, the whole thread is a really interesting read!

I'm hoping Itchy picked up an Axe III by now :hmm
Nope, no Axe OR Cyber Fender yet. I'm more confused than ever, lol.
 
the stuff I learned this morning about Midi Designer Pro unlimited presets blew my mind!
I was completely unaware...just a wonderful way to work once set up

MDP can also turn your single CC midi FC into an incredibly powerful tool

There are modern versions of CyberTwin like designs, obviously...Diezel did one a couple years ago...all the modelers...but CTs are cheap nowadays and they should be, cuz they are old

I was playing my CT SE a couple days ago and couldn't seem to get rid of a cocked wah sound when playing the factory ROM programs (the Cxx Fender Custom Shop progs) it was very loud...I walked away still thinking the first edition just sounds better...

then, yesterday, I put a new battery in my heartfield and went through the Axx programs (amp "models, for lack of a better term), and was suitably blown away...really, really great stuff in there...I did not get through all 50 programs...I was investigating if the first 34 programs are identical to the first edition...I found some anomalies that might be named ticks mistakes by me...I gotta go back through it all and verify

I really wish there was a way to turn off the power to the power amp, I just want to use the pre and the FX section
 
oh man, I went to check out the other 16 amp "models" in the A section of the SE
BUT I did nothing but play thru the Stage '99+ program for about 90 min or so
turned on Stereo Tape and tweaked the rvb on and off...messed with the phaser a little
but sorry kids, a lovely high gain distortion sound IMO

I'm gonna say it has to be the EV12L Classics getting it sounding so good; yes, the VHT 2902 is fantastic and the CT power sounds awful compared to the VHT...but the EVs just give out the same thing no matter the volume...I was playin fairly loud...just under 80dB and then down a bit...high 70s
