Without fuel to make fire, your fries will be uncooked.
i think lecto was closer than the AX8
yes, exactly, i thought that would be the AX8
Agreed.
Lecto sounds fantastic. The Korg sounds the closest to the way most people would run a Recto in a bedroom though :p
Yeah.Majority of people in the comment section actually think that Lecto is better than Fractal in this example.
Hard to argue with how legit the Lecto sounds.
Jeez the Lecto sounds exactly like your freakin amp lmao wtf
Lecto was a pleasant surprise.
I've been saying it for years that the Lecto is the king of the Mesa dual rec amp sims. Here it sounded way closer than the Ax8. The Ax8 sounded quite thin and fizzy by comparison. I was very impressed with the little Mooer pedal.
Great concept for a video, and you structured it in a way that was fun for the audience. Nicely done!
I don't know man, the Lecto and the Cali Pedal sounded better than the AX8 to my ears.
You've put a lot of effort into these videos. Absolutely amazing work! I'd love to see this get more and more views so people can start making decisions based on the sound and feel, rather than brand and the "tube glory". This coming from someone who sold his Mark IV and Axe Fx Ultra
My guess was 4, 1, 5. The Korg (4) sounds like how people dial in a recto for recording. Both 1 and 5 sound very alike, so well done Mooer! I love my Mooer 001 & 002 pedals. Great video man, keep em coming!
Pausing video at 3:46 mark to comment. 1 and 2 were both the best by a wide margin to me. 3 was good too and the others not my thing. Going to finish and edit in more comments later.
EDIT 1:
Well damn. That LeCto plugin is killer. I actually dug 2 more than 1 just a bit.
EDIT 2:
Having watched the whole video now, I think you did a fantastic job again. I've already snagged the LeCto plugin to screw around with. Another excellent demo. Really looking forward to the Mark IV done similarly.
My #11 comes today.. already have a radar. One day ill be able to justify the real deal.. but for now I'm sitting in anticipation for my new precious...
Subscribed. Finally a straight up comparison
Your choice of riffs is always unexpected I love it.
Also I guessed 4 and 5 right! Granted they were the most different out of all so I guess it's not really a feat
Haha thanks! Nothing annoys me more than guitarists testing gear with the same 3 riffs every time, so I attempt to play material that fits the equipment.
I could tell the real amp right off. So much punchy. AX8 was also super nice to me. One of these days I'll grab an axeFX III and get on the bandwagon. Great vid as always man. Love shootouts and tests like this.
Definitely waiting for a 5150/6505 shootout!
I need a few more toys to do that one, like a 6505+ for starters... but there are some great VSTs for those amps!
+1 I'm very interested in comparison beetween revalver's 4 6505 and real 6505
My favorite were the first two. Lepou are sick. I also really liked the mooer.
The Mooer was scary close indeed! 🤯
The Mooer 011 and Lecto sounded the closest to the actual amp to me.
awesome shoot out...i guess from the cheap range the lecto vst n cali dual gave their best to clone the 1st amp tone..n ax8 seems much clearer n pointy..not including korg in the list as it was way back modeler but in my opinion lecto vst sounded the closest to the amp..n really nice playing..the 'fuel' vibe was awesome too ..plz do more shoot outs n keep rocking
I thought 2 and 3 sounded the best... Glad the AX8 was on that list, love my AX8 so so much
can't believe that lecto sounds so good
My ears didn't deceive me!!! I choose #1 then #3 as my favorite sounds ! Second demo it was more apparent
One is the one for me. Lucky to have one:-)
LePou amp sims are ridiculously underrated. If I ever owned a Kemper or the Bias amp with amp match I’d profile those sims, especially the Legion amp.
Since the Moor was last, it was hard to compare it blind to #1, which I liked better than 2-4; until the reveal. To my ears, it sounded virtually identical to 1. The Fractal sounded a lot more toppy, but had a lot less chug. Didn't like it at all. When you repeated them, and I could hear the Moor next to the real, they sounded identical! Don't worry about having only the diode rectifier. I have a Dual Rec, and only bother with the diode, and only Bold power.
Its amazing how close is the mooer. Amazing. I would like to see you compare the 009 of mooer. Regards!
First thought when I heard the different sounds was:" Shit if #1 is not the real amp, my world will collapse..." I've used the Poulin Amps alot and I like them but for me the real thing has the nice highes. Not so harsh like the poulin. But thumbs up for the Poulin Plugin!
I'd say in order of what sounds best:
Real amp
Lecto
AX8 (just lacks chunk)
Mooer
Korg
Nah.
Lect
Mooer
Ax8
Korg
@@BinFrost I put the Mooer above the Lector, because I can hear a hiss that sounds like a VST plugin. The AX8 is like slightly below the Mooer imo because it sounds like the amp if it had a DI Out
Diggin the mooer and lecto compared to the other clones
Related, I still kinda like taking the old "trashier" gear out like the AX5g and equals like the Digitech RP50 and such to play with. Sometimes the tin foil tones just work for a project I'm doing lol. Cheers
Here's my opinion:
Use the mooer as a pedal running into either a dual recto or the plugin.
Great clip. Very well done. Sub'd.
Insta download of the lecto plugin as soon as you revealed which was which
I'm actually not surprised at all and the reason for this is one variable: The IR Cab. When recording digital it is the most important part for shaping the actual guitar tone, way more important than the Amp you put in front of it. I learned that through extensive testing myself. My conclusion was that it is pretty much irrelevant which amp simulation plugin you put in front of an IR Cab. You can make them all almost sound identical. I've tested this with Helix, the LePou Plugins, multiple Ignite Amp plugins and ReValver 4. The last test I did was ReValvers XXX II emulation vs. the LeCto plugin. It was pretty easy to match them. Getting good IR Cabs is the most vital part. The current distortion VSTs out there are tweakable enough to make them sound alike anyway. One plugin I haven't tested yet is the new Fortin stuff, though. Maybe you can get your hands on it and compare the differences?
I have reviews and shootouts for both Fortin plugins if you're interested in how they compare to similar tube amps.
@@PlagueScytheStudios I didn't notice! That's cool! will check that out, thank you!
Its amazing how close is the mooer!!
Can you do the same with the Mooer 008 mk3 vs real Mark iii or iv or v ?!? If so please!
Just got a mk3 after watching your videos and am planning to buy the real thing IF it’s too diffetent
I'm right there with you about not being able to stand a rectifier without an OD. Have you ever tried it with an EQ? I find running a 7 band EQ into a rectifier (well models of them) where I'm boosting the mids and cutting a lot of lows and some of the highs delivers a lot of what an OD does.
I run a clean boost into mine all the time doing essentially the same thing. The TC spark has a mid boost mode that mimics the tube screamer mid hump.
Different shades of blue at this point. And, when you factor in post-processing....
I found the real amp best, then the Moore, then the poulin. Then the ax8 and Kong coming up last. Very surprising.
Damn I gotta try a Mooer 011 against the R-Fier mode on my Roland Cube 60, though I'm afraid the Mooer will blow the amp away (over 10 years old tech).
Hey guys, I have only played digital rigs (Axe Fx2, Bias FX). Do you think it is worth trying a tube amp rig next? I was going to jump into the deep end and get a REVV 100P with a REVV 2x12 for drop A heavy metal rhythm guitar. Thanks.
hurttster if you haven’t ever felt a real quality amp with a good cab pushing air then yes absolutely. Played through Carvin legacy head cab, Mesa dual rec, own a peavey 6505 and an orange 2x12. Modelers are great for recording but practicing and jamming with friends I wouldn’t give up the real deal for the world. Plus it’ll give you a reason to grab a few good mics to mic the cab with to gig/ record. A great skill to have.
Great video have you tried the AMT R2? I've had both the R2 and the Mooer Cali Dual and for my set up at least I really perfered the R2. Although I have a pretty limited amount of experience with actual Rectifier.
I haven't had my hands on any of the AMT stuff unfortunately, though their entire pre amp line sounds really faithful to the originals from the demos I've heard.
@@PlagueScytheStudios I think they're pretty impressive for the money. I'm hoping to get the Diezel one soon too.
Do the Mark shootout!
Hey Ryan, you should demo helix Native, it’s got a 15 day trial and would make for a pretty nice comparison vid with your rectifier/ax8.
Lol, I like Mooer more than Rectifier.
Amp 1 is the real one. XD
lecto and real
The Lecto had that fatness that's what I want out of a Recto. Hard to give a "best" from this vid, though, given that my Recto tastes always lean towards Modern mode.
I guessed the amp, but the Lecto is near. The rest is far behind.
The only thing I've heard close is the kemper.especially in a jamming situation.these are all good for recording but not in your practice space with your band .I'll stick to my real head for that by far.even using my kemper profile with the band its not as good as the real amp.
The real thing & the vst sounded good. Fractal was a bit..lo-fi-trebly? Not-so-good anyways. The multi effects unit was awful. I first guessed it to be some line6 modeler :D The mooer was surprisingly bad. there was something weirdness going on there, which I always affiliate with (bad) digital modelers.
You have to tell people no matter what you do. The moment you stand in front of a real guitar amp and hear the sound directly from the cab. That, imitating simulator will not give you. I also work at home with, simulating guitar amplifiers. But every time I hear a real guitar tube from face to face I remember how the real thing sounded.
2 for me wow lecto...
Lecto settings please!)
See the first screenshot.
Plague Scythe Studios thanx!
imagine paying a shitload for plugins to get the rectifier sound and then you have Lecto that is free!
Bro it’s a single recto that changes everything oh my God. 😂
Lecto wins
2:36, 2:41, 2:46, 2:50, 2:55
mooer too harsh. i have 015 (peavey 6505 clone) it's harsh too.
Dude, a Pantera t-shirt goes with that accent, not a Black Sabbath one.
5 sucks, 4 dark as hell, i liked 1
It was really hard for me to keep up with what was what when you were talking. I would kindly suggest putting the name of the unit you’re talking about up on the screen written out the same way as in the comparison. I lost track of which one was the Korg because you stopped staying Korg before the numbers. Dig your channel. That’s my only critique besides please edit your videos more so you sound more concise. “Farther faster!” Please. Too much rambling. Again, I really dig you as a person and you’re easy to watch and also super talented. Just wanna see you with millions of subscribers!
