Periphery are back to running cabs on stage because they said front row sound sucked for people too close to get the full experience from the PA which is usually either side of the stage. The cabs fill out the sound for people up close and centre.
It honestly all depends on context and practicality. I wonder if an act like AAL would be able to tour internationally (financially) if it wasn't for digital rigs.

I really like Tesseract's tones on the albums, so it isn't a straight up anti-digital thing. It just didn't sound like a huge stack moving air with a microphone in front of it.
Dweezil Zappa said part of the reason for going direct and not having amps on stage was that the front rows get washed with the sound from the amps. Maybe he has better PA than Periphery!
BTW, this was at the Scala. Not a small venue by any stretch. I've seen other bands there before like Mono and Boris for instance, and they sounded fantastic.
I dunno... it was odd. I was expecting huge guitars, and what I got was nothing you couldn't have done with a 1st gen modeller from the 90's. I honestly believe that. The drums and vocals were by far the best sounding elements.
Also AAL were crap, but that's a music thing...

I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I still prefer my Axe through a real poweramp and 4x12 cabs..
smoe guys have hinted to me that this is a bit old fashioned etc... but I know what I like and that's all I care about..

When I first saw the title I thought was going to be a thread envying @chillidoggy's work.
