It seems that people here are against using amp modelers with their Mesas. For example, I've read that if you're going to use a GT-10 or a Pod X3, then they're fine as long as you turn the amp modeling off and use only the effects.
Why is that exactly? Is it because the modelers weren't designed to run through a tube amp and sound worse than they would through a solid state amp? Or is it just that people think that modelers sound bad and it doesn't make any sense to replace the Mesa sound with an inferior synthetic amp model?
