Happy New Year everyone. There are soooo many great modellers now that the options are as deep as your pockets. I know that other modellers are way more feature packed. I get tired just watching how to videos of the axefx2. It's an incredible piece of hardware and software. And the kemper seems really impressive too. But I find that the modeller world can be a very deep rabbit hole where the grass is always greener.
Anyway I think the reasons that I'm still really happy with my Amplifire come down to a few specific points:
1- I'm a Marshall fan. So the plexi/800 tones are what I lean towards. I find the Amplifire does the Marshall thing great.
2- Not a big effects user. A splash of delay maybe some reverb and that's about it. I do make good use of the PEQs though.
3- I still play my "real" amps regularly so I'm never lacking for a "fix".
4- I've never suffered through any of the technical problems that some other AF users have. Mine has been pretty much flawless.
