Took my ampero in to my local guitar shop (turned off cab sim) hooked up to an old yamaha power amp to a mesa cab with one of my high gain patches. Sounded amazing. Tried the mesa Mark V. Sounded mean, but not as articulated. Notes kept getting lost in the gain, even when it wasn't that high. Then tried my clean patch on the ampero based on a roughly on a fender twin nofx, same power amp, sounded full. Tried the Mesa and could not get it to sound warm at all. As if the clean was an after thought on the mesa. Sounded like the drive channel with the drive turned off. I didn't bring the 11 rack as it's just to big to carry around. The Ampero is great for bringing to stores and testing gear with just because it's so darn small. I'm using my own patches of course so I know how they should sound. So If I put a guitar in to it, and it sounds a bit crap, pretty sure that's not the guitar for me. I've put strats, ibbys, LTD, Bc Rich, etc through it at home and they all sound nice. So if I plug in a guitar and it's awful. I know not to get it. I"m using a small 5 watt head on a 4x12 mostly and sometimes a 300 watt rocktron rack amp. Basic randal 4x12. It gives a decent baseline for comparison. But tone is very individual, some folks love sterile tones some love organic.

Though more obvious with plug-ins, poweramp sim. are getting better and better on digital. Considering the coloration of the Yamaha poweramp, this (in theory with Hotone, was possible with boss gt-1) can be achieved by increasing the (software) amps output but decreasing the output of the processor (post amp digitally or by processor main output).

I did recordings to try this out with the gt-1, differences weren't subtle. But driving the poweramp doesn't always sound better with high-gain tones as it can muddy-up the tone too so testing by recording will be a huge advantage.
