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.
I guess that's not really the point here. If we just go by audience, a zoom would be sufficient.Nobody in the audience will the difference.

The dyad in the first clip (of first pairing) sounds a little juicier and more dimensional than in the 2nd clip to me. It's not a night and day thing, but one of the characteristics I love about good tube amps is how they deal with the crunchier thing that happens when you play double stops rather than single notes when hitting a somewhat driven amp.
PS. I posted this without having read through the thread. Now that I see 1st is amp, it makes sense. Not a huge difference. I'm really glad Cliff and others worry about all the details because I like playing more than tweaking and obsessing. It's quite clear the Axe becomes better because people do sweat the tiniest details.

Get a real power amp and cab. Amp in room will sound different than FRFRs.
Strange. I can get feedback quite easily with my CLRs & that's not playing too loud & also being off-axis from the wedges. Maybe we have really different ideas of what "loud as hell" means?
Could be a phase thing as someone mentioned - I have a guitar which allows me to flip the phase on the bridge pickup & it does sound a tad different & feeds back differently (low feedback on one setting, higher feedback on the other).,This may also be a function of where I'm standing with respect to the speaker, not sure. I believe some Matchless amps had a switch to change the phase of the speakers. Not sure if that was designed with this sort of thing in mind or just to allow two amps to be in phase, when using dual amps.
Well, by loud as hell I mean stage volume to compete onstage with a rock drummer hitting hard in a 300+person venue with full house PA, wedges etc. Floor shaking, pant vibrating loud.
I'm incredibly skeptical of it being a phase issue with any pickups or guitars. All these guitars 'feedbacked' just fine with the Triaxis and with the AXE on the same rig with a tube power amp. (Various Tom Andersons, Trussarts etc)
It's not to say it _doesn't_ feedback, it's just nowhere as immediate and on demand and simple and organic as it was with my Triaxis/tube power amp. In a typical live setting most of the time I could just literally hold a single note on the A string and by muting the other strings in a few seconds it would just bloom. It takes more volume to get close to the same result, and usually requires me to dip toward the speaker. It is what it is. But I'm going to try flipping the phase in the Axe tonight as a test.
With a conventional amp rig and guitar cabs mic'ed offstage or in iso and using only stage wedges, it's similar to me. You can get feedback, but it is different than using backline cabs.
To me it feels like the directional nature of guitar cabs provide a more natural or intuitive feel vs. wedges. But its probably due to familiarity with them that makes them seem more "friendly" than wedges.
Yea, it's a head scratcher as I've always angled my backline (ie Bogner 1x12's) up at me as i'm 6'2 and otherwise they just melt the first 5 rows faces and my feet but I can't hear anything. So I always angled them up forever. And the wedge is basically the exact same angle, so it's puzzling the result is so different.
I know, I just really don't feel like doubling my rigs size and weight. I like having my rig in a 4 space softcase instead of heavy racks etc etc.
