I have one. Love it! I see the next generation trying to go smaller, lighter, quieter. Soon you will just not need music at all. I'm 56 and still by the life of, I like it loud! I have a modeler, I use it, with my Marshall and cabinet. You see I went through the 60's, 70's, 80's crap of digital will replace analog. Guess what? IT NEVER HAPPENED! All it really did was give us more options to make better sounding music combined with the older stuff. We're seeing the same old sh!t repeat I seen people saying 40 years ago.
There’s definitely room in the world for all. I don’t think there’s gonna be a pedal that 100% clones a Marshall, in terms of that warm and woolly gain, but, the pedals allow you to almost have a Marshall on steroids with the extra gain on tap and then punching that into a clean, high headroom amp will give you plenty of gorgeous plexi tones to play with. I love the Cornstar for that reason. Dial in a glassy clean and then obliterate with saturated goodness you get from a Marshall. But Marshall amps have that low end that’s hard to beat and replicate fully. Great video man!
I guess context is key. If you're playing smallish venues and/or only have a couple of "rock" tunes, a big over-driven Marshall stack is probably not gonna get you there. A good amp in a box pedal is definitely going to save space and hopefully add to the versatility of your rig (I play in a couple of wedding bands where its great to have a plexi tone for the Bon Jovi numbers and a sparkly clean amp for the motown/lovey dovey stuff) That said, nothing feels like a good tube amp moving air and interacting with the acoustics of the room, I'm team amp at every opportunity, but definitely dig the modelers - to each their own. Great work dude! excellent demo of the different tones you can get with this gear!
Thank you for the kind words! You are correct, context is definitely key! I’ll be honest, I still haven’t played a stage where there wouldn’t be a comment made about the volumes of the Marshall at 5w, let alone gunning it a little! Fingers crossed one day! 😅
I can't relate. I am running a Studio Jubilee head into 2 1x12 stacked cabs without spikey Vintage 30s and changed the power tubes to 6l6. It isn't either the amp or the pedal for me. I am an old school metal player getting into more modern, progressive metal. So I need both. I am running a Boss OD-1x digital overdrive as my boost with a SD Black winter in my bridge. These 3 things went a long way to bring the Marshall into the zip code of modern high gain while still getting that nice Jubilee tone.

Great to hear you’re still playing it loud! As it should be!
So chilly is there, isn’t?

You are absolutely right, plenty of stages for lots of different amps!

That sounds like an insane rig! Bet it sounds killer live!
I would still buy an JVM or the Combo Version of it, the others I'm not really interested in and go rather Friedmann.
That’s fair enough! I would like to try another Friedman as the one I have tried in a literally died whilst I was testing it. 😂
