My dream rig right now would be a powered 3-way tower on either side of the drummer with guitar and bass evenly distributed across the stage at high volume for performance. I would rather have a $30k PA to play guitar through than a $30k wall of amps/cabs, money and space being disregarded. For me “feel” is more about playing the right notes at the right time over what kind of density the air is wiggling at me from behind. If I had all the money and space in the world I would probably have a couple of nice tube half stacks, but I would probably still play a modeler into an IR into a finely tuned FOH system for fun more often. After the gain/distortion from a preamp I’ve grown to mostly dislike how poorly designed guitar gear is for a playback system.So, tell me, if you had NO restrictions. Space, volume, money, etc.... would you prefer to play through 2 halfstacks, or through IEMs?
I think where I always question it, is because there is always a condition of "well, in this situation" or, "for the money", or "portability".etc... There is always a compromise vs. what you would really do if there were no restrictions.
Back OT: The TMP looks like a toy and wouldn’t work for me because of its hindered design and my preferences, the UI is corny IMO, and their IR implementation is amateur hour IMO, but it’s working for Fender and more competition in that space is good for everyone who likes modeling. Still should have hit the market at $1k.
