I see what your saying. one of the reasons we guitarists like valves (what us aussies call em) is because they react to the power increase as you crank the volume. most solid state amps hit their peak around half way, and then the sound just gets marginally louder, but doesn't break up nicely like a valve/tube does. if this amp is designed just to amplify your digital modeller cleanly, do you still get that benefit of the valves, or is it all just a marketing ploy?

i don't personally like the modelling thing, i'm old-skool and like a real amp and stomp boxes to do my thing, but i can certainly see that they have their uses...
