I'm with you, except that so far I'm running hardware modelers. I'm on my third generation of modeler, a Helix I picked up two weeks ago on Helix 2.8.1.0 day. Yesterday I had my first good long session in front of the studio monitors with it and wowzer, is it a move up in clarity and definition. I've never had a client complain about my modeled sounds, not once in fifteen years of modeling. I'm finding that modelers are beginning to steal the show from my amps, both in my studio work and in my live work. I find myself on kind of a twisting path back and forth between analog and digital but I can tell you that my typical these days work involves the modelers.
Now, mind you, I've used my recording engineer skills to develop some "special sauce" in my models that makes them sound a notch above. Isn't that funny?
