M5 says it's a modeler… I have no experience with that particular modeler, but every modeler I've ever tried anywhere near $500 was only suitable for use on a PC. The tone suckage from a good tube amp rig was simply not tolerable. The H9 is not a modeler (thankfully) and I'm hoping it will live up to Eventide's reputation for leaving my tone in tact. I guess it depends on what you want to use it for, but I'm not sure you're comparing apples to apples…
