For me, an all-valve DR is impossible without spending another several-hundred on attenuation as I'm in an apartment, so the controllable volume alone is worth its weight in gold. Never mind the light weight and DI - you can load guitar, pedalboard and amp into a rehearsal room in a single trip!!
Are people just so attached valves that it gnaws away at them until they decide to go back? ( I know I would be if I went digital)
However the Tonemaster gets WAY more use, sounds better at low volumes, I can carry it across a festival field, the DI out sounds better than any Helix product IMO.
So it all depends on your end use, now they’re starting to sell for decent prices they’re the ultimate tool for simple amp loving guitarists that need some modern tech.
As I have said many times before; play one.
It was great at low volume, for recording, rehearsal and really good when I gigged it. It did everything well.
If I was rehearsing and gigging I’d have kept it. I’d buy another, or maybe I’d try the Super Reverb next time…
I did notice at band rehearsal it didn't quite have the ooomph of my HRD but as a home amp/small pub gigs it's perfect.
If you see one cheap I would snap it up ASAP.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
