Hi datacommando, sorry for being another one of those guys ;) Thank you for sharing this article. It does give me a good overview of all the options. Here are my thoughts: I like having limited options, and thus would prefer having one decent cab that works for most of the amp models I'd use (mostly fender I guess). Therefore, the two options for me are "power amp + cab" or "standalone amp with effects return". The option I'm currently favouring is a Roland JC-40 (HX into fx return). It is a great amp by itself, holds its value and stero would even enable me to e.g. run two different amp models at the same time. What I'm wondering is whether something like a Tweed deluxe model would work through it. I'm worried that the jc-40 frequency response is too different from your typical fender cab.

I would like to get these sort of sounds for my bedroom and lower volume sessions. It doesn't have to be exact, I would be satisfied with just getting into that realm, as long as it feels like a real amp. Though I'm afraid I will spend way too much time tweaking settings, a modeler like the HX stomp seems like the most sensible option for my needs. According to various comparisons on youtube, it can sound incredibly close to the real deal if the same cab + speaker is used (example). The most important aspect to me is the way it sounds in the room. Now the question is what sort of amplification I should go for. I've ruled out an FRFR speaker because I want it to feel as close to a real amp as possible (not a recorded one playing out of monitors). I also really dislike the aesthetics of the line6 powercabs and the like. I'm drawn to the idea of plugging the HX stomp into the effects return of something like a Roland JC-40 (a great amp on its own) or a Peavey Bandit. Do you think this would get me anywhere in the right ballpark? https://www.facebook.com/artistsden/videos/1167788613874790/
