I'm thinking about this as a Christmas gift for my brother. The PS-2's are still a long wait, and kinda expensive.
Here's the deal. He has a '79 JMP 2x12 combo, no FX loop. He uses a GT-10 out front, which really defeats the purpose of having a glorious sounding amp, cranked. I'd like to get him something that allows him to crank the shit out of it, and route his effects through a loop, like they should be! I personally hate his tone, yet he thinks his Marshall sounds great, (but it's all Boss!)
I thought about an HD500X as well, but, same thing, layering preamps over a preamp, but atleast the modeling is better! Hell, my RP1000 is better! (Though I route my effects through the loop and dont use modeling).
Any suggestions that cost under $500?
