Tube vs Cube Amp Shootout - Can you hear real tubes over an emulation?

Tube vs Cube amp Shootout - Can you hear real tubes over an emulation?
Can you hear the difference between a real Tube Amp and a digital emulation?
The Roland Cube features several digital models of classic tube amps. Provided by their Composite Object Sound Modelling technology. COSM.
But how similar does it sound against the real thing? Let’s find out because in today’s video We’ll find out if you can guess….
#TubeVsCube
In This test I’ll be putting my Roland Cube 80x against my Vintage Silverface Fender Pro Reverb, and my more modern Orange Dual Terror Lunchbox.
Because the cube has so many amp models I’ll be using these 2 different tube amps to go against it. The fender for the cleaner sounds, the orange for the heavy stuff.
All amps will have their EQ sections completely flat at 5 or noon.
Each amp will be mic’d with my version of a 57, that a 58 with the grille off. With the mic pointing just off the dustcap, right up to each amp’s grille.

This first round will have 5 examples. I’ll pan between choice A, and Choice B on the screen. You’ll have until the countdown to lock in your answer .
We will be comparing:
Clean tone, Spring Reverb, Tremolo, Overdrive, and In a full Mix
It’s time to see whose a tube and whose a tube. Let's go!
