Best non-Kemper/Axe digital modeler

[Heritage Softail]

Yamaha THR10x looks good. The MF/GC idea sounds like a good plan.

also, a few folks have pm'ed me, not trying to be rude by not responding, forum doesn't give me an option to reply. I'm assuming because I haven't posted enough yet.

Here's a short metal clip I recorded with my original THR10 just a couple hours after unboxing it.

Direct to my laptop through USB; no post EQ. Bass also recorded through THR's bass model

I bought on of those. Got 50 off at GC. 249.

It is not quite believable how big and wide the hall reverb is on that thing. The two hi-Fi speakers? It des sound like you are listening o mixed down studio tracks.

It is now my main practice time and learning rig. Plug in my iPhone, get the volume balance right and the jam track and guitar come out great. Or just use headphones. And it is obviously a great boom box for my phone. The fact that it can be battery operated is a crazy bonus.

And it does take a boost pedal very well.

Given a good test drive, it is hard to beat. The clean with hall reverb with a tele is amazing..... The clip captured the metal it does quite well.

The orange glow of tubes from the LED inside is a funny bit of cheesy goodness.

I think the least expensive good sounding modeler is a Vox Tonlab ST (or EX). The ST is only $200 new.
