The interview was nice until it started to be all these questions which resulted in essentially unnecessary drivel about how real guitar amps cannot be completely emulated digitally, which has been BS for a couple of years now. But what else would I expect coming from a guy that has so many amps he has to set them as a backdrop?

Most of the amps are more likely fake?

For the record I think real amps do sound better.

I thought Devin/John answered that question well(and I am paraphrasing): in the box makes more sense recording because of the flexibility to fit it in the frequency window with multiple instruments, but an amp is really nice in front of you to inspire. 

I can relate to the logic, though I don't agree.

What annoyed me was how Rick essentially kept bringing that subject again and again as if what he got back the first time was not the answer he wanted to hear. That got old fast.

Thats a good point, it's probably the fact that I feel it in the room.
