oh man . . . it is REALLY horrible to think he is now playing through a modeling program OR a Roland Cube! I saw the original Mahavishnu Orchestra in early 70s . . . the tone he got was intense. If Jeff Beck ever goes on tour playing through a laptop, that will be it for me. Can you imagine Hendrix playing through a laptop and a modeling program? Has the world gone crazy or just lazy? 'Ease of use' is now the norm, not what is the highest quality. Mediocrity is winning. It's really sad to me.
