My main amp is a Mesa Lonestar Special - and once dialled in correctly, it sounds very good.
But my Blackstar HT1R probably gets as much use. It has far fewer options, works better at lower volumes and doesn't carry any weight of expectation, based on cost. If the sound coming out of it isn't 'perfect' - it doesn't matter - it didn't cost 'perfect' money. Hence, I just get on with playing and enjoying what is does 'right' rather than what it does 'wrong'.
As a direct recording solution, the emulated out - with a little EQ from the desk - is superb.
But not cos it's one of the expensive modern tube amps - it's actually a 1994 (long story, but I checked) solid state type thingy that cost 75 quid off fleabay. It's the only amp I have and it is seriously loud.The difference between 'off' and "Woah, easy, tiger!!" is no higher than 2 on the volume knob! I have genuinely never had it louder than 2, it's ridiculous. :-)
