Trouble is, he didn't A/B anything - the Tonelab he's got sounds great, but the question the thumbnail asks is "did we have better sounds in 2011?", yet there was no comparison to a 2026 sound.

It’s the kind of frustration only Vox and Tim can induce. I consider this video an homage.

Modeling guitar is ruined because of everyone A/B testing the absolute crap out of anything and then there's people listening to the comparisons on their iphone speakers like "yeah yeah, this sounds so bad compared to this, yuck " - change my mind.

I loved my old Tonelab SE. But I really didn't like how it sounded direct with cabinet modeling on so I would run it into the effects return of a tube amp. I would then use a Palmer PDI-03 to get a good direct sound from the amp.

I even tried running the Tonelab direct into the old EPSi pedal, which was one of the first hardware IR loaders on the market. It just introduced too much noise to be usable.

The first time I got a direct sound I was truly happy with was when I started using the first Atomic Amplifire.

So yes, while the multi effects pedals of old (which you might remember we were calling them before we started calling them "modelers") were perfectly fine and serviceable, I still feel a lot of progress was made when cabinet modeling started to be based on impulse reflections.
