I take offense to the use of the word SOULESS, used to describe digital rack mounted guitar equipment.. my computer is fairly digital as well, and I dare anyone to try and tell it that it has no soul.

While I do have a digital rack for my guitar, I have not mastered it well enough to want the warmth that vacuum tubes can give, so the digital stuff works fine for me. Eddy Van Halen I am not. But I understand what you are saying..
