I have a DSL40CR as my analogue solution (despite a Boss DD-7 in the small pedal board!). With a SD-1 or equivalent, it hits the spot for my 80s heavy metal tones, and a compressor into the clean channel is surprisingly good.
But now when I play my FM3 through monitors... the DSL seems a bit pointless. The FM3 can do it all and sounds better, and won't need new valves in a few years. I have a boosted JCM800 patch that meets most of needs, plus SLO, plus 5153... etc. Sure, the DSL has that amp in the room feel, but that just means everyone in the house can feel it!
Anyway, hooray for the Fractal, if that wasn't obvious.
