With my ears, I could only get it down to three or four. I had to look at the waveform. #3 was the oddball which was the real amp. It was more compressed than the others.

Wait till Q4 is released guess it will make it even harder for the golden ears and it will be 99.5% accurate.I think I'll shoot a video about this. One that clearly shows what's happening that it's 100% apples to apples: real amp + cab + mic VS Axe-Fx amp block + cab block with an IR of that same mic position going into the same interface with the same DI signal. Maybe I'll even do a tone match as a third part of the comparison. That would leave us with 3 options and I bet no one can tell which is the real amp. Soon...
Should have gone for a cleaner sound with a slight breakup when you dig in, then we would be able to hear the quality and the tone of the Axe fx and the valve type tone with whatever else you compare it with.
Why don't you do it? Then you vintage-single-coil-ancient-era-weird-amps-where-power-section-does-distortion types can have fun in your own thread!
Cause, you know, they all sound the same to me.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: We are only picky about the tones/things we personally are into. IF metal was your bread and butter you could happily use any edge of break up model and be like "I don't get it these all sound just fine/great/the same; I could use any of them". When I decide to dabble in blues, etc, dang near any Fender model works for me. But in metal land a Mesa vs an Engl vs a Diezel is all night and day big deal decision time.Should have gone for a cleaner sound with a slight breakup when you dig in, then we would be able to hear the quality and the tone of the

So, speak for yourself.
Deep sighIt's just another metal guitar sound, could have all been done on anything, even a cheap line6 kidney dish - as it all sounds the same, maybe one has a bit more bass on it, and another a bit more treble, but a full on distorted guitar sounds the same as all other distorted guitar sounds.

it would also help shake of the opinion of a majority of guitarists who believe that the Axe fx is for metal players only. (There, IV said it)
That's just a silly as me saying "all blues players sound the same... they all play the same 5 licks, over the same 3 chords, in the same two keys (major and minor pentatonic) and basically play the same amps with the same sounds."It's just another metal guitar sound, could have all been done on anything, even a cheap line6 kidney dish - as it all sounds the same, maybe one has a bit more bass on it, and another a bit more treble, but a full on distorted guitar sounds the same as all other distorted guitar sounds.

Please stop digging the hole you're in and just agree to disagree??Well, I have used fenders and prefer boogies (though a boogie is based on a fender) in metal land Mesa vs Engle vs Diezel is night and day? Next you'll be telling me different guitars sound different at these distortion settings...
5 is my favorite toogoing with 4, but my favorite by far is 5 (assuming its the axe definitely share that patch please???)
PS that lick is real tasty man, reeeeeeal tasty
For those who can hear the scratchiness, have you checked if with Q4 firmware it's still there? Because one of the changes I hear in this update is a rounder and more pleasant attack, so maybe cliff could have find something wrong inspired by this discussion, who knows..
