This amp still gives the Wizard Hellrazor - and the rest of the high-gain elite - a run for their money

Absolutely. This took me a long time. Now I’ve started to prefer the recorded tones and dialling and buying gear with that in mind. To be honest buying a kemper was a great tool for learning about monitored tones.

Yep, a modeler is a great way to bridge that gap for people and make it easier for someone just starting out

I've just been blown away by how many people either are good at guitar, or know tone pretty well, but recording is like pulling teeth for them because they just haven't developed that ear for what's on the monitor yet

It's like an entirely separate skill

IDK never played a hellrazor.

I mean, I like an 800, its a classic for a reason - but here are three amps I like better for various situations and tones playing metal. The recording quality is pretty rough because I did it really quickly without any post... but same speaker, mic and guitar. I guess most of the time I prefer an 800 for a different style than that.

The VH4 sounds severely blanketed. Specifically Linus's blanket from Peanuts.

It does, i should do it again with a brighter v30. It's just a darker amp naturally, with everything else equal

I like the larry and vh4 the best. I think they are all tracking really well.
