Can you define "feel" for

Can we get him to Review the NDSP power supply and do a shootout of other power supplies on units that sell for over 1000 euros

Awaiting the launch of the TheGear[Whatever] forum.

I'm just kinda amazed to read people go "well, actually..." on who's likely the only guy in this thread who pitted all these amps and modelers against each other

I like Jon’s video and with all the talk of shilling and the tons of other YouTubers I thought it was really refreshing to see an honest opinion on this , because he had the balls to say what all of us were thinking listening to those clips
And if everyone gets a better product out of it that’s a win

We may not all agree on feel, but at least we can all agree that tone is in the hands.

FEEL is real...its hard to put into words and is very subjective person to person.

What if I feel nothing, Tim? I'm so dead inside I can't even feel guitar tones anymore.

I actually agree with you on this. To celebrate this rare occasion, I heard there's a sale on FM9s. You should get one.

Of course feel is real. Some of us just don't give a shit and we adjust. As long as THE SOUND we want is there.

I have the Axe Fx III and recently got an FM3 MKII Turbo. I'm noticing that I also want an FM9 even though I really don't need it. Am I normal?

The FM9 is the perfect in-between unit. The slim-size Helix of the Fractalverse. You should definitely get one

I'm sorry, but your moniker needs to be StraitjacketJon from now on...

You're at least as normal as the rest of us on this forum. Unfortunately, that means you're quite abnormal relative to broader society.

Back "on topic": you know what's funny? When you are too positive as a YouTuber / reviewer you get labeled as a shill and untrustworthy. But when you're honest and objective people also complain about many things. "Why does he want to make (insert company) look bad?" Etc. I guess there's never a perfect road to take, no way to make everybody happy, especially not by being as objective as you possibly can.

Don't get me wrong, I think that most people are actually nice so I don't have a lot to complain about when it comes to interactions with other humans. It's just something that I get to deal with often with my channel. Good thing I love doing this though!

Too bad the money is all gone currently. I have some other hobbies that also aren't free. Lol

I think thats part of what Youtube is about - its not just a video platform, but there is a social element to it where its inviting discussion and feedback and there is (or should be) a 2 way dialogue. I think if you are recieving a wide range of different feedback and responses, it means you are doing a good job at reaching a broad audience. If everything always just lines up with exactly what you think, its just like being in an echo chamber. IMO its just best to be yourself and the honesty will shine through - if its too forced either way, people pick up on it and start having doubts over what to trust (youtube is already rife with all kinds of backhanded deals, advertising etc). I think coming across in a way that people connect with builds that trust and rapport.

It is a hard one - I think Pete Thorn and Leon Todd are quite good at the middle ground where they can be positive but can be constructive in where things can be improved.

All this talk about feel reminds me why I practice electric guitar unplugged a lot. If I’m playing the right notes at the right time and the tone is what I’m expecting everything feels good.

If feel of amplified guitar gear is 100% real, does that mean that playing an electric guitar unplugged has no feel?
