3rd vid (gsp 5150 v real 6505) for the higher gain lot
GSP was xlr straight to PA with no amp and guitar iirc was an R8. Didn't even have use IR's loaded at this point.
GSP1101 incoming...
However I can't think of much that will get you ball park with latest £1k + stuff for so little. I know when they came out because they used a dedicated in house DSP chip (well two) they had about 10 times the processing power of alternatives that used off shelf chips. So guess it was ahead of game for a long time. Next gen from now may leave it a little behind but current gen stuff its very relevant.
One think i liked from word go... Plug in a Gibson and it sounds like that Gibson into the amp model, switch to a fender and it sounds like the fender, ie the guitars tone comes through where as with some other options i tried you could switch guitar and it still sounded more like the amp model that you set up itself with little to no change.
Sure one of Metallica used em for a few years in tour rig. Queensreich used them for a long time (may still) they used to use with amps in US and travel without amps just taking gsp on yours outside US.
Doubt you'll be disappointed. We have this thread for advice and there is a gsp1101 group on Facebook that is also very good for advice.
Cos the power I'm supplyin'...is electrifyin'! Clearly this is the only answer

Will look again later as did find a good rock tone vid before i bought mine but canny see it now. If no luck I'll get one of my talented mates to play through it. He's seriously good (ac/dc and classic rock through his veins) lent him my spare unit and he loved it. Took me months to get it back off him
And another by same guy with gsp
I plan on slotting one In a combo and popping light neodium driver in it for same purpose. I also have main 4u which has a GT trio (midi board) preamp in gsp's loop. one of those little light weight padded 2u rack bags would likely be ideal for your thinking.
Used it weekly at jam i ran straight to pa too so dead handy if amp fails. Select an IR cleverly that matches your cab well and as well as IR by patch you can apply one globally and just to xlr outs.
sure the amplifire box would do a great job too and if it comes to it I'll bet some things it does better and some gsp does better. However the floor board is really good for gsp. Proper heavy and very well built so with guitar on wireless you have a single cat 5 on stage and nothing else.
Is it pretty easy to load IRs? I don't really want to disappear down an IR rabbit hole so any recommendations for a handful of good ones to try out would be much appreciated!
GSP's have reached price having 2 in rack would still not be that silly expensive.
get an aby and feed both gsp's inputs. turn midi pass through on unit one hook it up with midi to unit 2. Now your control 2 will switch both units. Set up some rhythm presets with different sounds on both say a clean valve amp sound on one and a edging into od on the other and save em with same preset number. Add a slight delay on one. Set main unit near centre and maybe 2nd a little off centre on mixer.
Voila you will sound like 2 guitarists. You can set some programs so both units are the same for solos and set beside program for rhythm. Or use aby to turn off the one not needed for solo. A midi controlled aby may be just the ticket here as you could program your solo stomp to also send out midi command to switch aby to just unit A maybe.
