I play guitar and own a Kemper profiler. It uses digital signal processing to emulate a variety of analog amplifiers. It is absolutely fantastic. Professionals agree and use it for live events. Profiling and modeling amplifiers put to bed the notion that analog is the only way to get a certain sound.
Yeah I use a Line 6 Helix and I’ve had analog snobs surprised I was playing digitally. Is it 100% exactly like analog. Of course not. Is it close enough that >99.9% people would never notice? Yes.
