Yeah, most definitely. I'm really looking for a good AC/DC crunch; etc.
Maybe I do need to try a poweramp + cab, but that requires so much additional money....a GT1000FX and a cabinet is going to put my modeling rig up another $1200 or more.
I get this whole 'amp in the room' thing, but I record with my deluxe all the time into the computer, and have solid results. The sounds that i'm hearing, playing back in my computer, are the mic'd sounds. So I don't think I'm having trouble getting used to this mic'd thing. Though maybe for live playing, it's better to have that 'amp in the room' quality, and maybe FRFR won't give that to you. I had sort of thought that having a FRFR speaker could give me some stage volume and sort of emulate having an amp on stage, if nothing more, than for other people to hear it.
I've had my own FRFR struggles before this; super harsh, etc. etc. The box is so complicated and it's easy to get lost. I guess I wish it was a little more plug and play; the amount of options is a gift and a curse. you can get REALLY deep into it, which I appreciate it, but it can be tough as a new user, trying to get it to do what you want.
