Hey guys. Finally got my "power soak" in today so i have begun my first experiments of tone matching my real 5150 with the modelled one. Funny though, I avoided using any soak completely and just used it as a safe line out in the end (mainly in fear of any tone suck).
Some interesting differences have certainly come out of this for me, and there will be more to come as well.
I spent the whole day on it, testing out various different techniques. The patches so far have come out great, adding much more of a mid range focus, smoothing out the whole picture and getting rid of some of those aggressive modeller highs. Its a definite improvement, but im not finished yet.
Now, my favourite file here so far unfortunately is the ozone match (file 3) which actually took place after the speaker, which was not the intention of this test. I think this is for one of two reasons- i either prefer the ozones tone match accuracy, or I dont like the outcome of the synth match. It could be the synth match actually, maybe its not quite so natural somehow. (it left something in the mids i didnt like- there is always a chance I couldve screwed it up too)
Raw amp (sorry for the background noise on this file, but I dont have the mod done to reduce this)
Raw axe fx 2 ( a bit fizzy no?)
Ozone Match after speaker. (not an actual amp match per say) Its really damn smooth.
Actual amp match using synth block.
In conclusion, my aim is to get the amp match nailed as nice as the ozone clip, but im still really digging the amp match anyway . There will be presets to share very soon
