I have a Line 6 POD guitar amp modeler. The Marshall JTM45 model 
sounded pretty good. Then I built a clone of the real thing. They're 
not even close. The Line 6 does okay for a sort of static coloration of 
the guitar, but exhibits none of the responsiveness to your playing 
style, or to changes in your guitar's volume settings.

So I'll be sticking with tubes for a while longer.

Though, I'd probably rather use a model of a Melltron than lug the real 
thing around. Don't know what I would do if I was a B3 player :-)
