The Mellotron Group

The digital stuff shows its shortcomings in a live situation.  One can fake it in the studio to a degree, but samples have no "pop" in a live format.  Whether it's fake wurly, tron, organ, it doesn't matter.  The real instruments always have better presence and energy in my 35 years of live performance experience.  It's most noticeable on trons.  Mr. Stickle can back me up on this.  Take notice of all the younger bands going the extra mile and schlepping non-digital gear on stage.

I just bought a new high gain class A British guitar amp because I am done with modeling. There is no lasting love for vintage/traditional emulation with me.  I'd rather use the digital stuff to do what analog can't do, that's just my preference. Don't get me wrong, I am in love with Ableton Live and most Native Instruments VI's, but when I need a real instrument, I use the real instrument whenever I can.
