What have you learned from digital modeling?

What have you learned from digital modeling?

IMO:

1. That the majority of people listening to your music could probably give two shits what brand of modeler you use or whether or not it performed 0.01% better than the other in a “null test.”

2. Most people, including experienced gear heads, probably couldn’t pick out the difference between a POD and an Axe-FX III in a full mix.

3. None of them give you an identical experience of playing through a 100W head with a monster power transformer, dimed through a pair of 4x12 cabinets. LOL at your Class-D pedal amp.

4. I spend way more time “dialing in my tone” than I did with amps and pedals.

5. My level playing will never justify the capabilities of the modelers I own.

6. Tone is in the fingers. 😉
