I will say that the unit in a recording sounds great, but in terms of just general bedroom practice, there has always been something missing.
I play through JBL 305's. The type of music I play is all over the place, but usually defaults to John Mayer/SRV style blues.
I can never get that bell like tone that is possible with a good fender tube amp in the same room as you.
I have been on the hunt to be able to get srv/john mayer style tones at bedroom/apartment levels.
Sometimes even recorded, the unit doesn't come near some of the videos I see of people playing a tube amp in the room.
take this video for example. John Mayer playing a tele through a dual professional. Even through the recording you can tell that the tone is bell like and that it sounds great in the room.
All I can get through the axe fx is a "hi fi" type of tone, if that makes any sense. There is just something missing. No "omph" like you can hear through that video.
