Are real amps on stage becoming a thing of the past?

[DanTravis62]

I want you guys to guess which of the following are modelers and which is the real amp:



Then I want you to guess when the real mic'd cab starts playing and when the IR starts playing:

That's an apples to oranges comparison, isn't it? It depends on what you're using as a power amp with a modeler, but if you have a good tube power amp you can totally compare the two. They will both sound equally good.

Actually, no, your TESTS are actually the apples to oranges comparison, because you're comparing a recorded facsimile to the experience of actually playing it in the room.


I'm not anti-modeler, at all, but i think the point youre trying to make is flawed. Especially in its premise.

I don't think i'd ever use Dreidel of Filth as an example of a sick metal tone, in the first place.

I'm sure Dani makes 1990s 14 year old girls very moist.

Im sure its very convenient, to have such a small rig or whatever though.

Come to think of it, Dani Filth does sound like a Cradle imprisoned neglected baby with a loaded diaper. Naming the band couldn’t have been easier.

Not a good substitute for a proper well mic'd amp. Those pedals sounds really cheap, boxy and one dimensional.

So, like Cradle of Filth then?...lol
