As some said the real amp sounds rounder and fuller..
There's a kind of ethereal aura about the first one - a sort of whispy nasal bouquet that evokes feelings of euphoric transcendentalism, while at the same time producing a subterranean gravitational resonance reminiscent of quantum diode vortex synthetic substitutionary molecular alignment. If Cliff can fix that, the Axe Fx will be perfect...and sentient.
Seems the closer things get to perfect, the more critical people get!!
I like the posts where the people can hear (small) difference, but voted "no"
What are you afraid of?
Anyone who's not a guitar player must think we are all idiots, focussing on whether there's a minor audible difference between those clips, preferring one to the other etc.
Nobody in the audience will the difference.
While most of the audience will hear it when the player hits just one wrong note.
This thread reminds me of that surrealist joke...
Q) Why did the duck?
A) Because one of its legs was both the same.
I'm staying out of this. I have a sneaking suspicion that the 2 clips are all Axe-Fx and are in fact the same exact part repeated twice in a row on both clips, thus letting Cliff dismiss anyone who said "Yes" as being victims of the placebo effect and completely full of sh-t. :lol
