Digital has a way of ruining everything unless we are just talking about fingers and toes.

No comment there, just being sinusoidally pedantic.

If you record at all the Fractal is a no brainer

I have a number of Tube amps and Love them (Soldano, Bogner, Suhr, Friedman, Marshall, Mesa etc.) but since getting an AXE-FX III Turbo from
my son as a b-day gift, I've really played with the settings, FRFR spkrs (my main studio monitors 12" 3-ways sound killer) I really like it for Recordings!!!

There is the convenance of going to a studio, hook up and play (many producers and engineers prefer) though many pro studio also have Tube amps.
For me it depends on the amp, some sound dry (my VHT Pittbull 100w) compared to 2203 w/o reverb. Some Clean tube amps sound sterile almost SS?

Have you used the Kemper at all? I have one and have never tried a Fractal, so curious how you'd compare them as a recording pro.

The Kemper is great!! It’s also a profiler whereas the AXE is a modeler. There is more tweaks with the AX, and constant updates. I do like the Kemper as
I also own one. I’ve tried the quad cortex and that’s a great device as well. Still I’m a Tube Amp player for life, I just absolutely love them…
