It will be undoubtedly a trend in the future. Heavy transformers, etc., there is technology today to eliminate this. BluAmp is almost perfect, but I returned it for two reasons:
1. There is permanent background noise. It is not a loud sound and it is not affected by the volume, but it is annoying if you use it at home or when recording. I have tube amplifiers (Bugera, Orange, BlackStar) and none do that. This noise passes to the recordings regardless of whether the sound is clean or drive. If you use it for rehearsals or with high volumes it can be indifferent (maybe...).
2. There is an error in the design regarding the position of the Noise Gate and the Reberb. If you use the Gate in the Metal position, the reverb is useless, as the high gain noise will appear for a while ruining the effect. With pedals positioned before the Gate and then the reverb, it doesn't.
Corrected that, for me it would be a great amplifier with a highly modern and innovative design.
I hope that the new AmpX from BluAmp does not have these rather amateurish problems.

Damn near perfect "rig in a box"

I'm primarily a bedroom recording hobbyist, but sometimes I play live, so I really like that I can use the Amp1 to practice at home in my DAW or connect to an actual cabinet for live situations (100W!) The all-analogue amp tones are absolutely killer - three sonically distinct dirty channels plus a clean. With built-in gate, reverb, and boost, what else could you ask for? Literally the only thing I found lacking about this amp is the cabinet emulation, which is just that: an emulation using circuitry and filters - not an impulse response of an actual cabinet. I would love it if I were able to load just a single IR that I like and then I'd truly be set. For practice at home, I'll turn the built-in cabinet emulator off, connect the Amp1 to my DAW, and load a cab sim there: Happy days, killer tone. For live if I wanted to go cab-less and connect directly to the house PA, I'd use a Two Notes or something after the Amp1, but that's really all I need. Absolutely love this thing and would purchase again in a heartbeat.
