SV20H and Plexi Studio 20. Comparison Video

Really great, just the 4x12 Friedman speaker impendence curve is no good choise for X-load comparision, there should be a x-load one be used for comparision, or? I think this (or volume levels, X-load, tubes, bias, guitar play) is the reason for the tiny little difference nobody will detect if he doesn't know it. There is no better proof that AXE FX III (and you) rules! Also this shows, how realistic you can copy the pot settings from you idols setup.

I watched your video while working on another screen. I didn't even realize you had switched from the amp to the Axe until you said that you would switch back to the real amp.

I know, it's crazy close, isn't it? Even with my silly omission of the correct SIC. Next time... 😅

Very kind, thanks! Yes, I should have corrected the SIC. I will next time - there's a Marshall SC20H here as well..

Same experience. I watched this morning (it's 5 pm here!) as I was browsing YouTube videos and I didn't notice when @Burgs changed units.

Thanks for watching!

Take a picture of it as deskop background image and sell it. I made the same (refer my rig in my signature).
Keep on rockin'

But I love the thing so much! You're right, though... 😅

crazy close. heard the tiniest bit of extra "body" in the low end of the real amp, but I'm sure that could be attributed to any of number of things and easily matched.

That's the thing - you can never really compare 1:1 (unless you had the amp Cliff used to profile it perhaps). Components age, have tolerance differences, power differences, etc. But as Burgs said, there's like 200 (that may be stretching it :) ) parameters you can use in the Axe-Fx to tweak that sound out to whatever you want from there. Just like in the real world, one amp of the same model will sound/behave a bit different from another.

No one, especially typical music fans, would be able to hear the difference between the tube amp and the Axe Fx modeler in recorded music or during a live performance. What this illustrates is that the days of tube amps may be at, or near, the end of their dominance in the guitar player’s world.

and yet .... like dozens of times before, we will very likely proclaim significant tonal improvements in the next modelling upgrade. Quite interesting: we say they are the same, and shortly after, we want to say it is much improved over what we just said was the same 🤣

Awesome demo 👍
