One thing to point out about TONEX: if you have an Nvidia GPU in your PC, the Advanced capture can take less than 20 minutes. The multi-hour thing only applies when no CUDA cores are available.

Pete's statement that he made a couple of times is the actual fact. It's like having 5 of the same amp. Each one may have a slight variation, but they all sound fantastic. Each of these modelers has finally achieved that point where they are equivalents to the physical amp. This is even more true in the mix of a band. And the best thing about this is now guitarists with almost any budget constraints can finally get amazing tones. This is great for the future of the electric guitar and guitar-centric music.

@paulslack4303 3 years ago

You can hear Lees heart breaking when he realises tube amps are not the only great sound out there 😂

@andrewcrawley285 3 years ago

I love these videos were you can see Lee and Pete losing the will to live, slowly but having to persist

@IAmChrisR 3 years ago

You guys should post the profiles/captures you made. At least for the TONEX! :)

Newsflash: if its close enough you need to have a video like this, its CLOSE ENOUGH. To the viewers.

@SlackWi 3 years ago

Really should have included neural amp modeller (NAM) in this since its literally free and incredible

@dlastone 3 years ago

BTW, Captain kept asking why you would want to profile your own amp... I got a really nice 50's hand-me-down that my dad bought new, great little amp that I don't want to lug around, so I got me some tonex... very happy with it.

@balticvolt 2 years ago

Funny, I just blindly picked the 4 and it is the HeadRush Prime which sounds so good. I just ordered it and I am so happy, thanks for the video!

@LEUNN_ 3 years ago

Lee is comedy with his reactions lmao got him reevaluating the amount of tube amps in stock

@timwrigley54 3 years ago

I guessed the real amp and kemper correctly. I own a QC (purchased from Andertons!) and thought it was 4 because of the way it reacted on clean with the drive pedal. Was actually surprised but pleased that QC was 5! I think all are good options and without A/B comparison I wouldn't know anything. The main obvious benefit of the modellers is i spent £1600 on a QC and now i have got a collection of virtual amps which would cost £50,000+ for the real amps which i cant afford and don't have space for.

So far i have profiled precisely nothing myself and paid nothing for all the downloads. Thanks Neural and the Cortex cloud users!

@TheNeers71 2 years ago

This is insane! I thought the real Amp sounded the least good for both!!!! And the cheapest was my favorite!

@StentsandRibbons 3 years ago

Grabs popcorn for the inevitable kemper vs. quad arguments. Welcome to thunderdome.

@Sylvain44 3 years ago

Loved that you did this, the first Tonex video was really overlooking how awesome this device is. Lee did a video where he said that the best desktop/home setup was an amp and a Torpedo Captor, but now I really think it's just a guitar and a Tonex pedal.
FYI, for me it takes less than 15min for an Advanced training capture, not 4-5h, but it depends on the computer.
In the blind test I got 3 out of 5 (real, tonex, QC), I was pretty sure about the QC as it always has more gain when capturing, real vs tonex was just luck as they were both incredibly close. I thought that the Kemper sounded pretty bad in the chug test.

@johnneiberger 3 years ago

This is crazy. My favorites were 1 and 3, and the real amp was my least favorite. I did not expect that at all.

@BuddyBlues 3 years ago

At 36:14 you can immediately see that Pete used to be the kid that cheated off your homework in school and double checked his work afterwards 😂😂😂😂

@Willl_b_ 3 years ago

I appreciate you guys going through the trouble making these types of videos. they're a lot of fun to watch. thank you!

@neauxlongeractive 3 years ago (edited)

From a producer perspective, owning any one of these devices and potentially having loads of high end amp profiles that sound 95% like the real thing is a no brainer. Obviously the real amps are that tiny bit better, but cost-wise it’s diminishing returns unless you stick to one amp. Plus the casual listener won’t notice the small details in difference between digital and tube.

@grilledspaghetti 3 years ago

We've gotten to a point where I prefer the Captain's playing over Danish. The Captain now plays exactly what I'd be playing. No joke, it's like being there.

@MichaelChapman123 3 years ago (edited)

Well done gentlemen... Can you guys do a shoot out of FRFR cabinets. Headrush vs. Laney Vs. Line 6 vs. ???? Is there a difference ... Thanks, and Greetings from Georgetown Ontario Canada :)
