Think I'm going back to Kemper

Yeah, you could. Or you could get the Kemper. Or the 3rd Power. You know you wanna.

I kid a bit. But the wants vs needs thing is tough. I'm just a hobbyist at this point, so for me it really is just wants. And that's tough enough. Yeah, it's a hobby, but it's a 30 year one and counting at this point. When it's your living though, i think it may help to step back and get the GAS emotions out of the decision-making process to the extent that's possible. And I know that is somewhat antithetical to the whole point of this place. 

I dunno. I still think you should get a nice ribbon for your AC 15. And the Kemper.

Cheers,

I'm about to just give up, get another AC15 and M9 and call it a day.

Got pretty bad mains hum with this pedal...Any way to get rid of it?

That seems odd.... really odd. Are you using single coil pickups?

Could be. The demo video sounded great. I use several drive pedals in series in my stage rig. Empress Compressor, JHS Superbolt, Quinnamps HBS, Jetter Purple, Jetter GS3. Usually two are on, but sometimes they're all on. Very low drive on each. 

Gotta check the Green Mile out.

There's such a thing as a good tube screamer? Good to know.

Bumping this because I tried the Scuffman plugs today before my Slate "everything" sub runs out. Really lovely clean and "half dirty"--the difference in the feel of the Marshally and Dumbly models is impressive with the same level of grind. Running at 64 sample buffer on an RME PCI interface, 88.2, FWIW. I'm using the LA610 DI because it's the one I use for any guitar/bass DI. Now the problem gets into that I couldn't run a full session at 64 samples, but you know-new computer could. Or, again--as I've pointed out before, if you rely on playing virutal instruments, you're better off keeping them on a different box anyway. No mis matching sample rates, real time resampling, you can always keep the buffer insanely low and keep the recording DAW insanely high....

If I were someone just needing a recording solution...I wouldn't hesitate with these. I DO wish they'd done more than a 57 and 160 for the cab impulses....but, still--both are perfectly solid for guitar amps. Now, will they have the same issue of not "Sitting right" in a mix? Maybe....but, the chords' overtones seem to ring in tune...which is more than I can say for most modelers.
