Going from tube amps to digital modelers
I'm thinking of selling my 5153 Stealth (and matching cab). Have any of you gone from tube amps to full digital/analog modeling? Did you regret it? I built an 8 space Tom Scholz Rockman rack a few months ago and I haven't found a reason to use my 5150 since, especially that I'm going direct when I'm playing with any of my groups or recording. I am looking getting a Line 6 Helix unit if I sell my 5150 stack.
I'm looking for outside thoughts on this. I think digital is the best for me going forward, so I'm probably going to do that if nobody here can convince me otherwise. Also, I have absolutely no idea on the going rate for a 100S half stack since there are none selling around me, so if anyone wanted to chime in with that knowledge, please do!
Thanks guys!

If you are performing and recording with digital without problems, what's to wonder about? I (and others) prefer effect pedals/tube amps but Line 6/Axe FX/Kemper can get the job done these days.

Going from tube amps to digital modelers
I use digital modeling at home because it’s more convenient to record with. Actually much more convenient. I like it. I can’t imagine playing in my band or a live scenario and not using my 5150 half stack. I just think nothing beats playing a real amp live. Can’t see myself ever giving it up in that scenario.

Going from tube amps to digital modelers
I would rather take a gunshot wound to the abdomen than go to anything digital. I have too much money in shit to upgrade now. And with a 6 and a 2 year old it ain’t getting any cheaper.
I can honestly say that the only thing non tube is a solid state crate I use for super clean stuff with an a-b switch if I need it.
