Any tips for an ampless stereo rig? Mainly for a studio type setup. Looking for a high fi type sound. Very clean for ambient style playing.

I use a Sarno V8 for direct recording. It's a magic box. Also amazing for bass.

For ampless in ear live gigs I use a Milkman The Amp 100. It also sounds amazing for direct recording.

Take a look at the Simplifier Classic. I've been very happy with it.

I'm using the Simplifier too, with stereo modulation and delay/reverb in the effects loop

If you want increadible effects and endless versatility look at the Kemper profiler. You can get the unpowered “toaster”version used for a reasonable price now that the floorboard stage model is out.

Helix HX Stomp is an incredible option. This is on my Electric / Acoustic Guitar pedal board.
