Agreed- If you’re just trying to dip your toes back into modeling / capturing/ captured amps, a pair of ToneX ones are <$500. Plug your current pedalboard directly into them.
Some prefer them to the QC, some prefer the QC to them.
I’d say unless you’re trying to change up your whole board/rig and downsize to a hybrid setup with the QC and some additional pedals in your signal chain and/or FX loops, I’d stick with what you have or try the ToneX route.
