So as suggested, if you're just playing at home, with no desire to gig - Bias all the way. But what you want IS there in one piece of kit, and not a station wagon full of vintage amps. A real tube amp has a few controls, keeping it relatively convenient to get a good tone - hell some of the original electric guitar amps from the 40s had only a volume knob! I think these days being spoilt for choices makes it harder (at least more time consuming), to actually find what you want. Having so much flexibility may give you plenty of sound tonal palettes, but that's in the opposite direction of "convenience" in my opinion. I don't really think any of these modellers have "convenience" in mind, when making tone, rather "flexibility" is key. If you have access to the professional version of Bias, obviously you have amp matching which HD500 does not. Sound quality from both Bias and HD500 are potentially great. On Sound quality and conviniently making tone

I cannot choose between those two options.

Is there anyone using bias fx pro version with variax ?ġ. I'm considering now whether upgrading bias fx version (desktop to professional) to use more drive pedals and amps I'm using Bias fx desktop with my JTV-69.
