Members danbronson Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm not trying to trick anyone, just pointing out the difference between a supposedly pretty good modeler (Amplitube 2 modeling a Dual Rectifier) and a real amp (Dual Rectifier Roadster). The settings aren't very close and the differences are obvious. I'm curious to see if people pick the right ones. http://danbronson.fileave.com/Which%20is%20which.wav The clip is divided into two halfs. Pick which one you think is the first and second half.

Members RonniePentatonic Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm usually wrong at these things but just for fun Im gonna guess the "real" recto is the 2nd half. Nice tone on both of em...I'd be happy to lay down trax with either although the first one is a bit bright. Bright in a good way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thinkpad20 Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 both are junk This is the correct answer. Who cares what's the real one if neither one of them is a desirable tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Derelict Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 My guess would be one is the real thing. Either way I hate rectumfriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danbronson Posted January 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 What was the real amp recorded with and where was the mic placed. Amplitube is set up to be recording as a Shure SM57 and a Sennheiser MD441. I was using a Sennheiser e906 and an Audix i5. Both are placed 1.5" off the grill, looking at the cone a bit towards the dust cap. Whether the tone sucks or not is not in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tws! Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I liked the first one better though. I think its the modeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the first one... a bit too much treble but it had midz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Unstrung Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm curious to hear why you guys are picking what you're picking as well! Because I've used the aforementioned program and know its tone, I've used/heard the mics you used in real life, and above all... It's easier to simulate a good micing job than to produce one in real life. And the first clip was better... Now if I'm wrong a douche is how I will look.

Members Derelict Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 The first one has a lot more presence and sounds like it has more life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exafro Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think the first one is the modeler just because the second one sounds kinda distant and notched. I've never heard a modeler sound distant. While through my own experience with micing, I know can be a bitch to get a really present, balanced tone onto tape. I like the first one better, whether or not it is the real amp I couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BornUnderBadSgn Posted January 6, 2009 Members Share Posted January 6, 2009 Not a big Mesa fanboi... but to me, the second seemed to have a certain digital-esque vibe that reminded me of my old Flextone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just saw that you can make it 100 now. I'm doing that but I'll still spill the beans at 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
