I'm still resisting the AxeFx but being short on space and a growing stack of rack gear waiting to get fixed might push me over the edge soon :-]

There's a pretty classic book called Electronic Projects for Musicians that might be of interest: https://msu.edu/~dougl126/Electronic%20Projects%20for%20Musi...

Sold all my heads, pedals, cabs. Have just the Axe and a FRFR wedge now. Best decision I ever made.

folks are digging the kemper profiler too. Can't argue with the results but i guess im still addicted to analog.

The profiler is okay and is likely preferred for people who already have a sample of the tone they want and aren't the kind that will want to fiddle.

These days I'm mainly playing through my PC (Decent USB interface for input, my stereo via a good DAC for output).

I've got a decent tube combo amp, but it's just easier and more flexible to do it digitally. I mostly run S-Gear, which I find has by _far_ the best amp modeling, it's the only VST that really gets moderate overdrive right.
