Before You Sell Your Modeler, Watch This

After 7 years of using a Quad Cortex and other modelers, I switched back to a tube amp.

Not because modelers sound bad. Quite the opposite.

The Quad Cortex is one of the best pieces of guitar gear I've ever owned. It sounds great at bedroom volume, sounds great live, records effortlessly, and puts an entire rig into a single box. But after years of convenience, I found myself missing something that was hard to describe until I stood in front of a real amp again.

So I bought a Victory Kraken and quickly discovered something nobody talks about.
