Amp Or A Modeler- Dweezil edition

[DrewJD82]

Most of us here are already burnt out on that question/test, but I think Dweezil doing a test like this is pretty cool, especially considering the song he choose to do it with!



(I'm still watching but my hunch is that A is the modeler, but it's not the tone that gave it away for me)

Guh! If I never hear Eruption again, it’ll be too soon.

I love the Dweeze though.

I'm also kind of thinking B is the amp because of maybe a bit of comb filtering?

 

[dbagchee]

Still watching - like the sound of B better but don't really care which is the modeler

Of the comparison it was vinyl, fractal, amp, remaster for me.
The performance A stomped all over B.
So I’d guess A was fractal.

My take away, the remaster sounded unlistenable in comparison.

That first clip of the vinyl definitely popped my eyes open a bit! Sounded like the guitar was going to jump out of the speakers, opposed to the much-compressed remaster.

Not even Dweezil can get me to click on a Comparison Video. Sorry, Dweezil. Still love you.

Whichever is the Fractal sounds way better.

Yeah I honestly think I preferred the Fractal but both sounded great.

My favorite is the toxic wasteland of comments "2 IS OBVI THE AMP BECAUSE AT TIMESTAMP 1:30:02 THE DIGITAL NON TUBE DEVICE SOUNDS SUPER THIN"

YouTubers still tryna cash in on teh Van Halen licks in 2025.

It does, because he used the effects capability to make it sound like the post processed guitar tone. Even though he added a little reverb to the amp in the video, I thought that was a pretty stark difference. He certainly could have dialed the Fractal to be dry and added pedals or post effects to the Marshall instead, but he wasn’t out to trick anyone.

If anything, the real effect of the video was to show how digital can more easily copy studio tones but he didn’t talk about that much in the sections I watched.

I mean, I was making a joke at the expense of Fractal fanboys. But yes. Your answer is good too.

But it will suddenly sound amazingly better on the next incremental firmware update
