Real amps v simulators. Anyone know of any A/B comparisons or can you sort one out?

[Rhys Llewellyn]

So yeah...

I'd love to hear, say a Boogie Triple Rec, all dials at 6 o'clock w/ SM-57 on axis on, say whatever, a Marshall 1960 cab... then hear a Pod, replicating those settings under some what scientific approach so I can truly hear the difference. (The finer details of what channel is used and all that, I guess depends on what the simulator has to offer).

Does anyone have the means to do this on here? I'm not asking for a serenade... Just a quick chug, chug, squeal... Much like my love life.

We had at least few such comparison threads over the last few years, but the search function on this forum seriously sucks and most probably all download links in these old threads are broken now...

I could do some comparisons in the next week or so with impulses, if someone gives me some good tight/clean DIs.


I can also run the ampsim through the poweramp of my 6505. I would only be able to do 6505 comparisons, though. Maybe Revalver XXX/JSX/6505 vs. the real thing, too.

Guitar Tone Competition 3?

Pointless setting things up identically, and you're in for shit tone on both ends like that. You want both to be set up optimally, and then judge them based on that.
