I know a percentage of the fractal forum uses their axefx with a power amp and cab to get the “amp in the room” techno describes.
I never felt it was missing so I havent tried to replicate it.
“If you want “amp in the room” sound, you need to run an amp (axe/ax8/fm*+ power amp and cab) in the room.”
Yep tried that too... still not the same
That said it's really all a preference thing so do what you want
