All good points there Tony. Just wonder where the industry will be in another 10 - 20 years with all the technology advancement. There is so much simulated virtual sounding stuff either built-in, such as in my Vox VT40+, and then all the plug your axe into a computer simulation stuff. Still remember the good old days when plugging into a late 60's to mid 70's era Marshall with 4 x12" 25w Celestions in a slant front box was a truly unique sound. Sadly that is now too often found in all this simulated stuff that young folks may never have experienced the sound pressure waves from playing that loud nor the awesome feedback that was easily achieved. Back then you could easily pick the difference between an overdriven valve amp compared to an overdriven tranny one. Not so sure you get that level of distinction by plugging into a computer?
