The advantage of the Matrix is it doesn't deaden the feel and it lets the Axe FX do the power amp modelling, and very well I might add. It packs a serious punch which lets all of that dynamic come through in all its glory. Point being it doesn't sound 'flat' like running a boss multi fx into a flat amp used to, it sounds alive and like its coloured because it doesn't impede the Axe FX's modelling if that makes sense.
I'm very happy with my very cheap, very light, very loud, very compact Matrix amp
