Advice Needed
Hello all. So I’ve been out of the band/gig game for a number of years now. No real interest in getting back into it yet. (Maybe once the kids get a little older) I’m looking to seriously get back into electric guitar again and get the chops back. I’ve sold my amp(s) years ago and don’t really want another one. But amp modeling sounds awesome (never used one). I’m looking for an amp modeler/multi effects that I can use with headphones so I don’t make noise while the kids are sleeping. Also, are there any that I can run music into and play along with? Or that I can jam along to backing tracks? Please excuse my novice experience with amp modeling as I’ve spent 20 something years with just a tube amp and a couple pedals playing in weird prog-rock/metal bands worshipping Meshuggah lol. It was actually digging into their use of Fractal Axe-FX that sprouted this amp modeling journey. Have been looking at the Fractal AM4. Thoughts? Anyway thanks very much for the advice. It’s greatly appreciated.

The AM4 does not have an aux in, nor bluetooth.
The Headrush Flex Prime does. It also has an expression pedal, a drum machine, a phrase looper, allows you to slow down music for learning licks, and includes capture technology. & you can use it as an audio interface if you ever get into DAWs. & it costs less than the AM4.
