Going the other way...

Having recently purchased an AX8, if the models of the Suhr Badger's (18 and 30) are anything like the real thing,  I could be really tempted to replace my current valve amps with one. They sound stellar and are incredibly dynamic. 

Any real world owners able to chime in with their experiences,  good or bad.

I had the 30. It was very good. I traded it for a Dual Rec Reborn in the end, but only because I wanted more brewtal.

The 30 took drive pedals very well.

Don't forget the lube, you'll need it.

30 is a great amp.
The 18 is good too but I prefer the 30.
I sold mine for a Suhr/CAA PT50, which is a very similar amp but with more gain, wattage and switching.

On a related note, I bought the Kemper to end all amp gas... the thinking being that I have two great amps, and could supplement them with a lifetime of great modelling amps...

Like you, Im now gassing for the real things !!! A Divided By 13 primarily...

I just played through my mesa .50 cal and Marshall 4 x 12 for the first time in a few months. All I can say is wow, forgot how good valves are. 

I'm a big fan of the latest generation of modellers but they still arent the same

Loved my Badger 35. Really regret selling it.
