Too Close to Call?
The gap between the sound of a tube amp and a modelled or profiled amp is almost too close to call these days. The benefits of a modeller over a tube amp are pretty compelling particularly if portability is important.
ML Sound Labs posted this video comparing the sounds between a Mesa, Fractal, Helix and Kemper and, to be honest, the sound was very close to my ear. Not my style of guitar playing, however I have played Mesa amps for over 40 years and the tones in this video are surprisingly close to the real thing.
