For me, one of the biggest advantages of modellers over analogue rigs is the reproducibility of sounds.
What does your modeller do that your "real" rig can't do?

I'm a more recent convert in the modeling space. The simplest reason I use it now is I'm not currently playing out so modeling affords me all the things I love about guitar tones in an easy to use package. I can play quietly if needed, and recording with it is a breeze, yet gives me endless possibilities to craft tone ideas. What's not to love? I still enjoy tube amps and pedals but my goal is to play as much as possible in my current musical journey, and modeling fills that need perfectly.

I definitely like playing with the guts of Marshalls without electrocuting myself or destroying an amp!
I spent last year accumulating the gear that would make amp or modeler setups entirely interchangeable for me, so outside of the above the only thing the AxeFX can do my amp/pedalboard rig can't do is keep everything contained to one unit and I'm only limited by the CPU of the AxeFX for how many effects I can toss on something, as where I have a fixed pedalboard where 10 individual effects can be utilized at once.
Oh dear, however will I work with such constrictions!?!

I remembered one more, specifically on Fractal: Ducking.
It's a really nice feature to keep your delays and reverbs from overpowering your base sound if you play something more complex.
Line6 Helix has a ducking delay, but being able to apply it to any delay or reverb is a lot better.
To my knowledge there's no pedal for this. There's a pedal called The Pill that is supposed to come out, but it seems pretty overkill for this sort of feature. Would be nice to have some super small version of this that you could add to your signal chain.
