Recommendations for DI guitar amp simulator/effects unit

Not everyone's broke, and some people would rather save up $2,000 for a good piece of gear than spend $400 on a piece of crap combo amp every 6-12 months.

Considering the thing has amazing emulations of a ton of different high quality amps, and just a single JVM410 or Mesa Triple Rec is going to cost you over $2,000 anyway, it's not a bad investment if you're serious about your profession, be it musician or audio engineer.

the Fractal's supposed to be pretty amazing. I spent close to two grand for my Mark V.

The studio I work at has an Axe FX Ultra and even being the first model as opposed to the new one, it sounds great. Definitely worth the cost.

there's a significant number of big name players that use it.

You could always just by an attenuator for your amp. Dr.Z Air Brake? Anything like that. You get all the break up and the tone, just at a reasonable volume.

So, you can have an all tube amp, use pedals, crank the the amp as high as you want, and still play/record in the comfort of your home.
