While I use modelers on stage, I ordered a Supro Delta King 10 after listening to some clips. I was wanting 1. Something to just plug into that had more of a tweedish tone. 2. Something lower cost. 3. Something to use as a benchmark as I am having difficulty getting that sort of tones out of my Helix units.

This unit is close to a Fender Tweed Princeton 5f2a, but with reverb and a master.

Musician's Friend had the all-black for $399 on Thursday's Stupid Deal Of The Day; it took considerable discipline to refrain...

Hope you enjoy yours!

Got the Tweed and black at 499. Suppose to get a 100 credit on top from the CC promo.

Should be arriving today.

Interesting. What is driving you to use a modeler on stage? Having both grown-up with, and learning, guitar using amps that must have been a difficult yet compelling decision.

The Marshall stack (or other amp) image is hard to pass up.

Silent stages.
Been using a modeler since 2009. Was Fractal AXE-FX up till this year. Most the places I play have the Helix as their backline. So at that point, I can take load in/out down to a minimum of just my gear bag and instrument.
I don't get paid for time on load in/out, so I always look to minimalize that time.

Isn't all the fun a LP into a cranked Marshall?

Without that it starts to become work. Which is fine if that is your job.

But when guitar is the hobby...

Oh I do enjoy that, my preference being a JTM 45. But I have a great JTM 45 patch on my Fractal (actually prefer it as I use the power tranny of a 100 watt Plexi ala a Black Flag) and my FRFR is capable of 125DB. So more than enough volume. LOL. Actually that's an advantage to the Fractal gear, you can make things that rarely if ever existed.

While not my primary occupation (music accounts for about 10% of my personal income), I do get paid to play. 2025 will close with 102 gigs/sessions for the year over 43 different dates. If we offer even 30 minutes per a load in or load out (that's 86 total load in/outs), that's 43 hrs saved, that I can allocate to other paying opportunities or time with family and friends.
