I have one preordered. Not sure when it’ll come in though. I currently have no modeling or sim device, so it’ll be good for convenience playing out somewhere small.
The micro cortex is better in my opinion, but the stomp is cool. Had both at the same time for a while. The capture tech and online library made for better core amp tones.
I think preamp modeling is pretty much “there”, as is cab modeling when recording to a DAW. Playing the whole chain (preamp, power amp, cab) in the room is still a problem, which is why your clip sounds so kickass: it’s going into the recto power amp and cab.
Modelers with the cab turned off...
I’ve got a bulldog model they make. Not sold 100% on the pickups but the guitar plays amazingly. They’re consistently too in my experience. Small enough brand that every one they send out has “it”.
