I'm so glad I persevered. Pod farm is 'okay' for tones, just, barely, but is fizzy and pretty... Digital sounding for high gain, even with careful eq plugin use.
Just spent 10 minutes jamming through this and Torpedo Wall of Sound on an edited preset and it sounds fucking massive.
I won't be using the bandit to record low volume anymore. I'm not sure I'll use it for recording at all.
It's as tight or as loose as you want it to be, and the eq works as you'd expect it to on an amp.
And it sounds MASSIVE. I've not even double tracked with it, just jammed with it as a plugin (so there is latency for monitoring) and it sounds great.
Double tracking and hard panning should make shit get real.

It sounds good with proper double tracking, where slight differences really give a 3d effect.
