Modeler or Tube?

[Iron1]

Local recording legend Will Maravelas of 14:59 Studios dabbles in YT vids and dropped this cool one yesterday. Thought it would be fun to see what the players here think:

The best tones were tube. The not so best tones were modeler. Duh.

i stopped doing these cause im wrong every time and its just embarrassing

 

[spawnofthesith]

I think if done well recorded modellers are nigh indistinguishable from the real thing


Now if I was hearing it in the room and even more so underneath my own playing I think it would be much easier to differentiate

My prediction on other people’s guessing- the clicker the kick drum is, the more they’ll assume the guitar tones are from a modeler.

I see a Kemper in the thumbnail. What modeler is he using in his comparison?

Ha. I sort of assume the less ideal/polished the tone the likelier it is a tube amp.

I think each band used whatever they use. So, likely a smattering of Fractal, Helix, Kemper, etc…

Even when I try and outsmart the system I fail these tests... recently there was a Mark V vs Mark IIC+ test on yt I watched. One sounded substantially better than the other to me so I was like "welp that must be the IIC+" nope... Mk V

That's such a 2018 take. 2024 take is "they all sounded the same but some felt better and those were definitely tube amps."

As soon as:

1. I'm not playing it myself, in the same room
2. It's a recording
3. There is a mic or IR involved

I'm out.

Always have been. Pointless, IMO.

Mic’ing a cab to get tube tone, then running it with an IR… that’s some next level WTFery right there.
