The problem with these comparisons, for me, is that I usually don't like the tone of the real amp to begin with. It generally lacks the qualities a great tube amp has, making it easier to 'match' the tone.
Cliff, how 'bout I record a clip of my Two-rock and you try to match it ? It's those subtle things like great dynamics (both in freq range and volume), depth, dimensional sound, and chewy response that modelers sometimes struggle with to replicate.
Not taking away anything from the axe-fx's capabilities of course, I'm considering buying one too.
If you need to mic the amp for a tone match, does it matter where the amp is being recorded ? Or am I overlooking something ?
You can only match a recording so much since the stimulus is unknown. When matching an amp the same stimulus is applied to both the amp and the model. Since matching is a difference calculation, if you remove the difference in the stimulus and the result is much more accurate.
OK, I'll bite. Why not?
Does this mean you don't accept my Two-Rock challenge ?
(to be honest, I don't know what you mean by 'stimulus' in this context)

First half is Axe-Fx.

I kind of like the first part of the clip a little more..is there a bit more gain on first part? it seems a bit warmer, but they're very close.
I would like to hear the first part performed via FW 6.02
The clip sounds pretty same but i can hear again lack of grain and gain second one feels weaker but reading Cliff's decription how he coded it and how much effort it takes actually prevents me from saying its not as original is actually damn close! Im affraid that soon we will run out the memory...
