This is entertaning even for myself. Believe me 006, this is not the only forum on internet where people know stuff about audio engineering. And I don't automatically count people into that category. I'm not sure I would count you in that category. It's funny how even the creator of both Axe-Fx and Axe-Fx II and professional engineers on Gearslutz that actually make records that people listen to are able to listen to this comparison and state their opinions without shedding one tear, but on this forum it's like all the metal people suddenly have their period.

Speaking of which, Gearslutz is full of people that talk out of their ass. I got banned from there for posting the same mix twice for comparison, saying one was done with analog gear and the other ITB, and magically one got voted on more as being the "analog" one. Somehow tons of users "that actually make records that people listen to" heard more "analog warmth" and "richness" in one of the mixes. Even though they were the same mix, both in the box with all digital software. I trolled them hard, and proved a point, and they couldn't take it. I'm not saying they're all full of it, but it was quite interesting the majority heard analog qualities where there were none.

3) About agreeing that it's flawed. I am not agreeing, when I am the one who states it in the first post. F.ex. if I take a shit in the woods and tell people: it smells like shit in here. JeffTD: -"It smells like shit in the woods" ... it deserves one of these:
Anyways for me the Fender and Marshall sound pretty much identical but with more drive. The Rectifier however really surprised me... Ultra sounds like a real amp in that clip but Axe-II kind of doesn't.
To me... the modeling sounds 100% the same on the Fender and Marshall but Ultra wins the metal section in this comparison. It doesn't mean you'll get better tones with the Ultra, another model in the Axe-II might be better for this comparison.
