Yeah I think I'm done with VST stuff and need something that can bring the tones on the way in, BUT I like impulses & decent cabinets...so going to get another Eleven Rack soon and the EPSi to load up some Ownhammers, then I'll have what I wanted all along & maybe my kid can use it for his live stuff (or just keep it bc I haven't had the time). He's doing good on his Line 6 and will do even better with an 11R (probably without impulses like daddy has to use lol) And in all reality, if you want to utilize your DAW to the fullest, it's going to be busy with your drum sampler, synth, console EQs, and mastering stuff and the last thing it needs is to be running amp sims.
