My guess is Mark IV 0:00-0:20 and Axe FX 0:20-End
That's what I hear also.

Hey!!! About that Mark IV:
The issue I was having was simply a master volume issue. Other than that ALL KNOBS ARE IDENTICALLY IN THE SAME POSITIONS in the amp sim and the real amp. That is impressive that the Axe-Fx can do that. Oh and please guess where it's the Mark IV and where it's USA Lead. It's not 100% but neither would two different Boogie heads.
EDIT: Also this is quite a nice promo for how clean my IR captures are also. That's a miked real Mark IV vs Axe-Fx with my IR capture of that mic up. Essentially what my Alloy IRs have always been.
I read a few pages back to get the sound of 20beta just set preamp tube type to "short plate". So my question is: are we only getting the benefits of quantum by selecting "authentic"?
I'm really liking "vintage" type for clean tones ATM and I didn't care for it before.
Pick attack and bounce are aligned slightly different in quantum (more authentic tube like?) which I think improves the feel rather than add a latency feel.
Just to be sure, the engineers and I just measured the latency of v19 and Quantum and they are EXACTLY the same.
On the next "super nova" firmware version (whether in a month or a year), I hope Fractal will release it with two others (the most recent before it and one other random version from 2015 or later) and not tell anyone which is which (and not give any clues as to what's been changed). Then set up a poll thread and see how many guess which one is the new release with major changes and ask voters to post clips using all three and explain why they made their choice. Let this go for a month and then release the result. I bet you get a lot different commentary and results.
I'm officially retracting my "latency issue" mentioned before.
I trashed the old file, downloaded Quantum again, loaded it into my Axe and it sounds great and feels right again. Whatever I was dealing with was user error, so sorry about the false alarm guys.
Keep shreddin
Cool! I did a series of measures too just to check if we had an issue or not and found the "latency" of Q1 not only same as 19 but actually negligible. On a preset with amp and cab, the latency is less than 2ms, which is like being 2 feet from your speaker! And on a preset with 13 blocks including pitch, delay, rotary, etc, the latency is 2.2 ms. That's just amazingly low!
You're probably confusing the transient dynamic behavior with latency. Latency is unchanged from previous firmware and transient dynamic behavior is extremely accurate now.
I'm loving the "authentic" tube type. On some amps it's a dramatic difference, kind gives it more of an in the room thing, even soloed out. I was getting an in the room feel before, on 20b but this just makes more of that. On some amps it's kinda subtle, but there's still some of that moreness going on. Not a word, but you know what I mean.

I can only speak to my own FRFR experience, but the "moreness" doesn't work as well when I'm going thru a FRFR speaker as Short Plate. Seemed to accentuate the mids too much for the heavier stuff. Clean stuff was fine though. Like I said, that is just my own experience with it.
I'm using FRFR (to dial in, I use inears live) as well, but I tend to favor mid heavy tones. I actually have a mid bump in my inears to compensate for my crappy inears.

^^^ This.There's just this something now in the attack that seems right. It's the nuance in how sometimes you can get compression or a little bloom right at the attack depending on the amp, the gain and how you hit the notes. Only a perfectionist like Cliff cares enough to go into that kind of detail. Those kinds of things are where other modelers that maybe just give you the right sound fall short. Bravo.
