It's time for another installment of our favorite guessing game: Is it the Axe FX III model or the real amp?
I used the 1987x 50W (it's a bit of a pleonasm but i'll mention the wattage anyway) plexi model running on the latest Cygnus public beta and compared it to my 50W plexi clone. Controls on both amps were identical. Everything, except normal channel volume, was cranked.
I applied eq matching before running both signals into the same MIKKO IR and tried to level match them as good as I could with an LUFS meter.
The file is a bit bigger than usual (96kHz @ 24bits) in order to preserve the true tone of the amp and the Axe FX III. You can download it, too, if you want to analyze it inside your DAW
All I can say is that it's getting really, really close. What do you guys think?
Thank you guys for participating in this poll! Here's the answer:
The first clip is the real amp.

This is before I made some advannced parameter adjustments, though, which is why I made round two where I tried to eliminate as much differences as possible.
