I'd be curious to hear it A/B'd against a V30, that way I have some perspective on what's the guitar/amp/production and what is the speaker.

Not my thing, but I think it's cool that PRS will give artists a blank slate. It's not just a Custom 24 with different paint and a questionable inlay with the artists name on it.

I think the competition from modelling has pushed them to evolve, but I also think demand from old dudes that can't carry a half stack is driving the industry. I've also ...

I get that, and I am looking forward to the day I can be happy with the modeling stuff and have a tiny rig. So much that I've tried all the major ones, as recently as last month when I had the Tonex. I want this tech to work out, but I just don't think it's quite there yet. The convenience is great...

I agree. It's not a fully developed technology yet. It has nothing to do with being digital. Take digital reverb for example. You can get a Lexicon from 1985 and nothing beats it to this day. They've gotten smaller, cheaper and with more options, but not better sounding. But digital distortion/amp ...

Anyone looked at a digital photo from 5, 10 years ago?

That's how I feel about modelling.
