Ugh, and those ones with digital effects and amp modeling. Sounds just like a Vox AC30! Sounds just like a 59 plexi! You know what? No it ****ing doesn't, and you know it, ya bastids. You know what does sound like an AC30? A ****ING AC30! You know what does sound like a 59 plexi? A ****ING 59 PLEXI! So don't give me this bull**** fake ass imitiation crap, you puppy stealing heartless wenches.
Modeling has come a long way, but not quite that long a way. They need to get rid of some of that fizz.
Still, you could sucker most crowds with it anymore, running into the PA. Except for the lonely guy sitting there with his arms crossed overanalyzing everything you play. You know, the guy with the Rush shirt on, who wants to know if you guys play any Dream Theater.
I've got a LP hanging down to my knees and just got done It's So Easy and a Tool song before that, and the guy singing can't hit a middle C. What about us makes you even ask some dumb thing like that?
This is before he goes back to his Mom's basement to butcher some Mr. Big song on his $250 Ibby. Complete with his ice-picky scooped sound that guys get used to when they've never actually played in a band (where you have to fit in a mix).
But for me, I agree. There's just not a substitute for a good Vox, JCM 800, Mesa, a bunch of the Fenders, etc. Still, Chick #42 falling out of her lol haltertop doesn't care about all that.
