    I’m quite confused as to why the Kemper sounds so bad? It doesn’t normally. Worth watching this video, for a thorough test of it vs the QC. ua-cam.com/video/bZFP3zzyUxw/v-deo.html

    I'm with you on this. I've been very impressed with tonex. I've had one for more than a year now and a qc for little over 2 years. Owned a kemper stage for a week. I was able to tell which captures where which modeler surprisingly. Good video

    You are right Greg.. This did change my life. I thought the real amp won and the ToneX was 2nd and the Quad Cortex 3rd.

      I agree. ToneX is very close to the real amp. Very impressive. Quad Cortex was just a little lifeless, in comparison.

    Great video, I noticed to my ears , all the raw amps, sounds as though they are going through a compresser, where the attack is high, compressing the first transient,
    Or it’s the mic compressing.
    Do you not hear this?

    • @aphekrecordingstudio4274
      @aphekrecordingstudio4274  2 місяці тому

      I think that might be UA-cam. There definitely isn’t any compression, other than whatever the amps add.

      That's been my observation of the QC. Usually things the sound slightly and cleans it up.

    Had QC for one year, same for ToneX. Crazy how ToneX just crush the QC capture tech! Two questions : do you use advanced mode? What is your input level on the ToneX pedal? Thanks

      I just plugged into the input on the TX pedals. Didn’t change anything there. Yes, the ToneX is phenomenally accurate.

    Nice. The real amps win for me. The point where I've noticed a real difference in the past is in mixing. I feel I have to turn modeller amps up too loud to get the 'push' cause they lack it. Any chance of you doing a comparison of real cabs to Impulse Responses?

      Yes, you can’t beat the real thing. Like all emulations, it all adds up too.

    Interesting, yea the kemper was the loser here. I have a kemper and really enjoy it for my purposes. I play at home at bedroom volume and like the sound of a cranked Marshall, and I have profiles for for Kemper that really work nicely. I use the kemper kab or just plug into my Yamaha THR10 desktop amp on flat more, which is kind of like studio monitors but better in my opinion (I have a non powered kemper). It’s good to know that the Tonex has so much potential and is not that expensive. Good stuff.

      I'm just testing the Kemper again, as it's never sounded that bad before. I think there is an issue with using it to reamp.

      Kemper still sounds good. You obviously notice it isn’t exactly the same, in a test like this. If it was a question of which one do you like the sound of, the results might be different.

    Amazing the tonex sounds the closest out of these 3, wonder if the headrush prime can keep up with the tonex on this one. Debating selling mine after having gotten a tonex.

      My experience is that none of the modellers sound as good as a good capture of a great amp/cab. It needs to be really well captured though. No idea why the capture sounds so much better, as it’s all digital?

    I preferred #2 for most cases...sounded the closest to my ears.. Just lacks a bit of gain at times.
