It’s 2026… Are you using a guitar amp or a modeler on stage?

I’ve been using my Suhr PT exclusively for the last few months. Out of laziness, I decided to bring my HX stomp to a gig this last weekend.

After messing around a bit during soundcheck, the sound person got my front house sound dialed in, and it sounded absolutely amazing. As we played, it sat perfectly in the mix, and my leads cut through.

They came up to me during the break and confirmed that all of my tone was coming from the line 6. They were blown away when I told him I wasn’t using any other pedals. I actually only used two patches for the entire night. The only difference is one brought my Guitar down to half step.

That was pretty much it.

I’m definitely going to still bring my amp for larger shows but for smaller music venues and occasional bar gigs I think the line 6 works just fine. What are you using?

yes.

minus the stage.

:D

That said, I'd like to "believe" if I was still playing live, if it was mostly hard rock, I'd use my DSL40CR + VP4 in 4CM; if it was mostly prog / metal, I'd use my JP-2C + VP4 in 4CM, with 1-2 Mesa 2x12 cabs. If it was a silent stage, I'd use my computer plugin rig. Hypothetically, that is.

edit: even if it was a bigger club; there's no way I'm schlepping a full stack, unless I have full road crew and a tech (i.e., never happening)
 
Yes, pretty much done with amps live...

FM9T and a QSC CP12 for stage volume...

The few gigs I play this yr I will use one of my tube amps(Marshall, Mesa) with one of my 8 cabs. Might even run my old 72 Twin with an ABY.
Go big or go home.
