Hi guitar home players,

I’m looking for a setup to play at home with high quality sound and feel.

I first went with home monitoring (adam A8H) + amp sims on computer. The sound tone can be right for bedroom level playing but the feeling is not as good as I would.

I miss the fender headroom on my real hotrod and the crazy harmonics and feedback loop on a real high gain amp.

I would like advice from people who have bought or tested more than I.

1/Is kemper, neural dsp and other expensive produxt deliver more feeling than let say the TwoNotes Genome which is free to test ?

2/What about having real amps + loadbox? Is that better than amp sims for bedroom level or worse? From recordings on youtube it’s sometimes hard to tell but youtubers are just sellers nowadays…

3/What about having a larger speaker cabinet like a 2x12 for bedroom sound level at home. I expect the feeling could be different than the stereo 8" well positionned at ear height I have. Worse or better if anyone has both setups?

    The beauty of all this is that it can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I tend to lean on the simple side, if you’re missing the hotrod just get another hotrod. simple.

    also bedroom level is a variable term, a 40w fender would blow my damn windows out and get the cops called.

      Yes. That’s why i ask advice about power attenuator. It’s not possible to play a hot rod softly. Either the sound is muffled or loud.
