These days modelling (Helix etc) has reached the point where tube amps, cabs and individual FX pedals can be replaced by a single piece of hardware. As a bass player I ditched my SVT and individual pedals in favour of a Helix Stomp; it's the best musical purchase I've ever made.
- vonseel 7y agoGuitar/bass player here. I own a few tube guitar amps (Fender Blues Jr, Peavey Ultra 410) and also have a vintage 70s Ampeg V4b. For nearly 100% of my daily playing and recording needs I use Helix Native; it's simply easier, more versatile, and sounds better than anything I can do with my real amps.
- m0zg 7y agoI use Axe FX myself. It's good, but for me it does not really replace _all_ tube amps. I still have a few that do what Axe FX can't do.
