8. Conclusion

The stylish red Line 6 POD bean was once hailed as 'The holy grail of guitar amps,' marking its place as one of the first modeling amps in the history of guitar amplifiers.

But thankfully, progress hasn't paused since then, and the times when amp modeling was sneered at are over. Even staunch sound purists like Mark Knopfler are now using digital sound generation on tour. Whether it's the stage, studio, or jamming at home, the digital realm has become an indispensable factor in guitar technology, and modeling amps now operate at a very high quality level.

Of course, this doesn't mean tube amps are going away—those will definitely stick around for a long time. But one doesn't exclude the other. You can combine modeling amps with tube power stages, some guitarists use modeling floorboards with tube amps, and if they don't want to lug around heavy tube amps for rehearsals, the floorboard can simply replicate the sound of the familiar amp. If you're considering getting a modeling amp, think about the context you'll use it in and try out suitable devices accordingly.
