This oughta be fun- will hafta check it out tonite.I'm an internet person. All we do is waste time evaluating things that have next-to-zero real world significance.

wild! 5 and 7 sound like models to me. don't know if I could nail the others (possibly 1 and 4 also models). all are a lot closer than I'd think. he can really dial in a modeller to sound much like it's counterpart - the gain and EQ are nearly identical for each, amazing.
I gotta see what modeller it is...rats, "various plugins."
just emailed my results. anxious to see how my aim is!Last edited by DankStar; 09-01-2011, 01:12 PM.

Re: Contest - Think You Can Tell a "Real" Amp from its Model?
I can't listen to clips at the moment, but here's my general take on the issue:
From a recording, it's usually quite difficult to tell the difference. The good amp modellers when dialed in correctly, sound very, very close to the real thing on "tape".
The real difference to me is when I play through a modeller versus the actual unit. It's all about the feel and response of the thing, and in those scenarios I indeed can tell the difference almost every time.Band: www.colouredanimal.com

I tried to go off of any clue I could get about the preamp tones...usually on a model, they're idealized examples, so I generally went with the fizzier/sloppier one as the real deal.
Probably will be the only one to miss them all- Tom

Re: Contest - Think You Can Tell a "Real" Amp from its Model?
Most likely wouldn´t have a clue anyway but everytime I tried it when I hit play on the second clip it plays both the first and the second overlayed and out of sync.
Edit: Had to keep on pausing other tracks to be able to hear all the clips but managed to complete it despite my girlfriend watching TV right behind me while I was doing it.
Cool test.Last edited by playas; 09-02-2011, 04:45 AM.

I think:
First set - 2 is the tube amp
Second set - 3 is the tube amp
Third set - 6 is the tube amp
Fourth set - 8 is the tube amp
Now lemme look at the answers...
