  • What a nonsense : those two are in a whole different price categorie. Worst compare I have ever seen !!!

  • Dude, where did you get that pickguard? I've got a Player Plus Strat in Olympic Pearl. It came with a tortoiseshell pickguard, but I changed it to a black one. Now I want to change it to something brighter, but not just plain white. I think I want something similar to your's.

  • Of course, there is a difference in tone, but this is not a fair comparison, as the Yamaha has tiny speakers compared to the single (large) speaker in the Fender.

  • I hear exactly the opposite to what people is commenting. 2nd sample is brittle and there's no way someone can consider it warmer than sample #1. did you edit the video or something after publishing? are you trolling? what's wrong here?

  • Both sound good. First one sounds more crisp, second one sounds more smooth and warm. There's somethinf different about it

  • The difference exists in the FEEL & RESPONSE of the amp far more than the sound. A really nice tube amp is ADDICTIVE to play whereas even a good emulator just doesn't excite you enough to make you wish to play non-stop. There is a PHYSICAL MAGIC in mechanical tubes that is the "reason" that people spend THOUSANDS of dollars on guitar or music power & pre amps for the home. Listen to a very expensive one live & you will feel the difference. This comparison is just like filming a short video clip out of a car window & asking which one was the Ferrari . . . Silly, doesn't work like that fool –

  • Is the solidstate amp just going through a tiny built in speaker? That alone will make a huge difference regardless of tube or solidstate. Soeaker size matters.

  • Yes, you have also even harmonics at your tube amplifier, not just odd harmonics like in your solid state amplifier.
    Music is just physics. Or is it vice versa?
