Obviously! But I would stand by that statement on any other modeler forum because I tried them all, and I mean all of them!!Well... clearly, we are on the FAS forum...

I appreciate the suggestion. I haven't done this. Thought about it and decided not to [let me know if this is faulty logic] because I'm pretty much a one sound guy so bypassing a real 2204 preamp for a model of one didn't make sense. If I was using two or more amps, I could see it. However, is there some value in this in terms up settings on the Amplifire? The biggest complaint I have with the Amplifire is feel...it's really stiff compared to my amp. Beyond that, I was not happy with the tone I was getting through the CLR but I'd guess there's some matter of eq that can eventually solve that. The main idea behind modeling for me is to reduce the size of my rig. That's why--if amp modeling would not feel and sound right my next choice would be my amp with a reactive load and cab sims/IRs.
And those hint at the other advantages I'm looking for:
You probably don't like the sound of the CLR because you are use to the in the room sound of your amp! You are not use to FRFR sound. Don't expect to get this in the room feel and sound out of any FRFR system, it won't happens no matter how good your system is. I would still suggest you try tour amplifire in the return of your amp! This way you can evaluate the authencity of the tone and feel you get from the device vs your amp! If it's close enough, then you know it's not the amplifire the problem but the way you use it!
Gotcha. I will try that then. Thanks for your help. I do think that the CLR (and especially my lack of experience with modeling and FRFR) is part of the problem. It sounded harsh in front of the speaker but off axis it was pretty good. I had decent experiences with my HD500, however that was in IEMs, so not apples and apples.
With a little help from benvigil, I now understand your point. Thanks! I will check it out!
Love my Tim overdrive. My boards have bounced back and forth between analog and digital and lots of pedals have come and gone, but this one has stayed...since 2004. Trying to tweak a sound-alike on my FX-8 but there's something about the mids I can't exactly mimic.
Agree! Had a FX-8 and eventually sold it as I couldn't get a good edge of break-up sound of it. My Tim pedal does that marvellously. I'm expecting to be able to get a more realistic tone now that I can use amp sim instead.
