I'm playing in a rock cover band right now, and our music requires guitar tones ranging from dead clean to pumped Marshall, and everything in between. I use an M4 and RT2/50. With a D/D, VX, SL2X, and COD (along with the Les Paul, Strat, and Tele) I can faithfully, reliably, and repeatably hit just about any guitar sound I need except for modern metal, which we don't play anyway. MIDI switching makes it all easy. What's not to love?
Most of the guitarists to whom I've shown my rig are actually kind of bewildered, although impressed, by the whole mess. The one guy who I'd expect to throw out some barbs (he's an AC30 purist) recognizes that I can and have walked circles around him, with regard to flexibility, and can match him on tone. I have an AC30 as well, but I use it as my home recording rig because, live, the M4 setup can just do so much more.
It's definitely a keeper.
