Hmm, kinda figured. Soo... take-away is it's possible to make a real amp sound worse than a modeler, for anyone who preferred A?

Not just possible, more likely than not. Having just finished recording an album and insisting on using real amps, cabs & mics, when using good IRs and digital amps as a benchmark, I can say that it's pretty hard to get a reamp from real gear that as good- never mind better- than the recorded tone of the models.

That's a better and less snarky way of putting it, and I agree based on my limited experience.

I wasted so much time listening to this, and left a couple times frustrated. I was one of the B votes, but was almost a toss up.

It's more like a chance of 50/50 nowadays to get it right, Thanks for listening. I was just kidding with the Line6 Forum coment. I did 3 CDs with PODs It works. I was surprised myself how well the POD came out.

This song and the entire album were done with a POD bean for guitars, according to Gus G. Not my favorite tone, but I didn't peg it for a modeler.
