great vid, i think both sound great! i do like the sound of ym2612 more personally (but only by a hair). it’s just a tad more “dirty”, which i like one thing i hate though is when some people mistakenly blame the “bad sound” with most model 2 revisions on the ym3438 when it is actually the terrible amps they have and not the ym3438 itself. luckily though you showcased it well with the megaamp and it can clearly compete with the ym2612. thank you for the direct comparison
