Who’s to say that the differences as a result of inaccurate modelling or capture tech are the same sort of audible differences as different valves or voltages or pot values? Usually in these comparisons, the real amps always have something that gives them away as real and the modellers have qualities that sound digital. Matching the reference unit is imperative.
This is exactly what someone in the cult would say!

I think it's been more about Agoura differences than Proxy ones?
Appreciate that and yeah, probably not the best time and place to post. I’m just excited about my new toy.
Fair enough. Thanks for being honest.
If you mean "real amp" is the amp in the room vs a capture into a FRFR speaker, then there is definitely a difference. If you mean a real amp recorded through a microphone and then sent through speakers, I think that in a blind A/B test with JUST raw guitar and amp tone, many would have a hard time figuring out accurately which is which.
I think a more likely advertising line might be "so close you can't hear the difference" but also talking about "and $20,000.00 of FREE studio grade guitar effects for FREE" and also "all in one easy to carry foot controller".
No, I don’t mean that. Totally different thing.
This has been the case for a while. When new modelling iterations come along, I want the gaps to get smaller. That’s what the discussion is about. We’re already well past this. Once you know where to look for differences, modellers do reveal themselves somewhat easily (even if most people would be fooled by it). Most people could be fooled by a Kemper tone but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t room to improve accuracy. If Kemper came out with a new update that sounded better in terms of gain and dynamics but the results were further from the source, you’d have mixed feelings, right?
