Axe-Master
Same here - I bought/sold a bunch of tube amps in the past but really can't afford new ones - or, at least for me, owning Axefx reduces the value proposition of new tube amps so much that I prefer to spend my $ elsewhere. I have a nice little Blackstar combo and Matrix>2xMesa112 Cabs to scratch that itch if it arises - not being a gigging musician (actually, barely a musician ), I don't need any big volume and I actually prefer mic'd cab tones versus AITRI can't afford the amps it's emulating, not 10% of them, in some cases not even one.
Edit: It does amaze me though that some Axefx Amp models inspire some players so much that they go out and buy the real amp in addition. For a long time I could not understand why some amp manufacturers would want their amp modelled officially in Axefx (Friedman, Revv maybe) as I thought it must reduce their sales - but I guess this is why - if the model is good enough, there's a segment of players that will be prompted by the model to purchase the real amp also, while others (like me) will never drop 3k on a Friedman no matter what - having it modelled in Axefx is not a lost sale for Friedman where I am concerned
