  • Honestly, I don't think there's ONE current system that's better than others. At the end of the day, each guitar players are subjective. ????

  • digital modelers are not inspiring to play at all, they also totally disappear through a dense mix on live gigs, modelers are generic and made for people that don't know what they want. they will waste your time and give you bad results in the end. if you have to go direct there are great tube preamps like the friedman ir d that sound way better than any computer.

  • Thanks for the video, but what about the sensitvness when playing ? witch
    one is better ?

  • The modeler sounds right next to you, while the capture sounds like it's been mic'd. I don't like captures for live play even though they sound more realistic…they are just missing that feel and presence that modelers provide. That stated, I prefer a real amp over both of them.

  • I'm very late to the game when it comes to this technology. Early on the only device capable of tone capturing was the Kemper.

    Now with more affordable pedal based units like the IK Tonex, it's caught my attention.

    I have a basic question that I can't seem to get an answer to doing internet searches.

    When you set up an amp or modeler for an "edge of break up" tone, when you roll back the volume control on your guitar the tone will "clean up".

    Will an "edge of break" up tone capture respond the same way to rolling back the guitar volume control or will you simply get a quieter version of the "edge of break up" capture?

  • Always comparing different types of gravel. When will you guys start comparing different types of glass. I am so sick to death of hearing dirt sound comparisons.

  • How about small pedal amps like Blug 1? How do they compare with these floor units now?

  • I would like to see a comparison between hardware modelers and software models, i.e just plugins. Are the former necessarily better?

  • Guessing game, don't try to approach it scientifically Captain, that doesn't work out well…

  • I’ll stick to:
    Orange cr120c (£200 SH)
    Tuner (£20)
    Compressor £100
    EQ Pedal (£70)
    Boss SD1 (£60)
    Behringer Fuzz (£20)
    Delay £50
    Chorus £50
    Tremolo £80
    Phaser £70
    Octave £70

    Can do it all

  • I made patches in Amplitube as stereo rigs, one ToneX capture and the other an amp model they sound great. The captures really depend on how well they are done, some in the ToneX sharing site are great some not so great.

  • I picked up a Tonemaster pro, and now I dont care anymore. I am done. Not sure if its modeling or profile, I have Tonex and Amplitube as well. I prefer the Tone master. I am done with amps now.

  • The model has a brighter, more hi-fi sound, which isn’t my preference for most guitar tones. I think the duller-sounding "warm" capture would work better in a live setting without needing to cuts highs.

  • Clones/Profiles/Captures (done right) are still better for me….and we have Liquid Profiling/Superclones to incorporate modelling advantages (i.e., dynamically changing gain/eq settings).

  • I don't think the question here is important. Both can sound amazing! I was surprised I guessed the first A/B correct though????

  • Been a Kemper owner since 2015. Amazing device. Now I own a Tonex which I bought in late October. Tonex also does 'captures'. Bought the Tonex to run it as an overdrive /fuzz pedal platform in front of my Kemper and tube amps. Two weeks ago, I bought a Fractal VP-4. Which does models of overdrives and fuzzes. VP-4 does some of the best time based effects you can get, too. Probably going to buy a second VP-4 to have mono effects in front of my tube amps and in stereo after my tube amps.

    Using the Kemper, you have their liquid profiling as a capturing option. This technology provides a modeling component to the tone stack. So a Kemper 'liquid' profile has aspects of both techniques.

    I don't think there is any definitive better or worse digital platform. No matter what you choose, some profiles and some models will be great and some will suck. Picking quality sounds on either platform will provide the greatest satisfaction.

  • quick qestion for everyone here, I notice in this video that they are using the XLR outs so that might mean that they had to add gain to both inputs on their audio interface to bring up the input level. Would it be better to use 1/4 inch outs like out 3 and 4 out of the QC instead so no gain needs to be added on the audio interface as adding gain on the interface can influence the tone.

  • May just be me but the capture sounded way more warm and valve like than the model, yes i closed my eyes haha and also not read any comments so I don’t get spoilers but in the first test for sure preferred the capture to my personal taste at least… then the model sounds better on the JCM800… ohhhhh FFS just buy what ever and don’t play them back to back… sorted

  • Would have loved to hear them in very clean tones; it's much easier to perceive the difference in clean tones in my opinion

  • This is where Headrush is nailing it. Hopefully, all companies will find their own way to create Superclones.

  • All Captures/models sound f**ing great these days. I use a modeller 5 days a week for gigs. After the initial.. ohh thats a new a thing I can play with wears off… You're back to the same, what tone can I use that's not gonna offend anybody! Don't get me wrong I love dialing in tones on my modeller but no one else gives a continental breakfast if I sound like Cory Wong or John Mayer just as long as they can sing oasis after a few pints….! If you're thinking of getting one do… You won't regret it and if you have one already I don't know what to say to you I've you're still reading this comment after listening to that!??
