Allrighty, I did similar clips over the past months/years, different guitars but all mahogany with vintage/hot BKPs.
So here is the same-ish clip, once Marshall VM through Cab/SM57, once Axe FX through VHT2502 and SM57, once Axe direct.
What do you think of the 3? Can you guess which is which?
-
I'm really not sure. I'm rubbish at stuff like this but would go for:
A - AxeFX > VHT
B- AxeFX direct
C - VM
Probably completely wrong! They all sound good to me though, and I listened to them all through the internal speakers of my little laptop!
-
im not sure as im not really experianced to tell but A sounds best but a little 'fake?' computerized i guess?? C sounds good but weaker but also warmer..? n b just sounds weak and muffled with the midds n highs muffled ....

Allright, the solution is ... (don't scroll down if you wanna check later)

The solution is:
A: Axe direct
B: Marshall
C: Axe through VHT

wow well thats some good modelling shizz :D

The lead lines sound better on B to me - more natural and full - plus Hunter sounds like he's responding to the amp better in his playing :) Rhythm parts are muffled though, as said above....

I agree with the leads. It was much louder when recording than yesterday, when I did the direct clips.
I did another version today, using the Recto New for the leads instead of the SLO, but again lower volume, here it is.
-
My favourite is B as well. Just sounds more natural as twinfan says. C sounds very thin in comparison.
-
Yeah I like B because it sounds like a real amp, lol. It's a bit more saggy. It doesn't mask your playing either.
The Axe seems like a great bit of gear, but I'm not convinced it's good enough to replace real valves yet!
-
my favourite is C. i reckon some post-prod eq tweaks could have covered up most of the differences though.
-
Did again some tweaking and reduced the gain/increased the openness a bit.
Now if this doesn't sound like Marshall, then I don't know what does , would you agree?

the axe is more "professional" sounding, but strangely enough i prefer the marshall. muffled, yes, with that hideous buzzing overtones that i hate in marshalls, but much more dynamic and tight (maybe it was just your playing, changing a bit through the different takes, though)...
