cheers,
i have a demonizer (and a womanizer too) since quite a while now, i purchased both after they came out..
and still, i´m quite happy with them... the direct out sounds fine, but need and extra eq afterwards (in my opionion).. and i have also a g-sharp as parallel effect to give it more room, sounds nicier when played with headphones or studio monitors.
what i like is the the direct playing response of both, i owned a pod shortly but returned within the first weeks because i didnt like the feeling for playing.
and compared to guitar sims like Guitar Rig, Revalver and Amplitube, you have much more sound possibillities in them, but the feeling when playing is complettly different, the demonizer feels much much better.
also you have a direct out, which you can use for impulses, there you can really create completly different types of sounds, the recabinet impulses for example works good with that, but you need alot of tweaking to do so, i experienced that all impulses sounds completly different then the direct recording out of the demonizer.
Its a shame that the demonizer cannot store settings :(
now, i bought a mesa boogie roadking II a few weeks ago, and compared to that, the demonizer sucks totally, you also cannot compare apples to oranges, but, i still use my demonizer, because with my roadking, i cannot play with headphones yet (waiting still for my weber mass), or playing at silent volume.
and for demo recording, the demonizer still cover my needs, no micing, no mics could ev. moved, etc. and the sound is always the same (you need to give em a few minutes to get warmed, because within the first minutes, the tone changes a bit)
I already recorded direct inputs of my guitar takes too so that then i can reamp through my roadking.. but before i could do that, i need a reamp box + ev. a new soundcard, since my compact mixer only got a stereo out..
ah yes, i owned a blackstar ht dual pedal too, and this was really a sucker compared to the damage controls... i returned that one shortly too :)
and again, an extra eq after the recording out is very important in my opinion.
