In this video I compare a real guitar rig recorded with microphones and analogue preamps and the same rig captures & profiles for Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Kemper profiler and Tonex pedal. They sound pretty similiar, but not exactly the same... Which one do you prefer? Let me know!

Dang, all of them were pretty close, but overall the best here was the Kemper. The only difference I could notice is that the gain sounds a little bit more drier than the real amp, but just by a really tiny pinch. The Quad Cortex had some resonance/bass frequencies missing. And the Tonex, although pretty damn good for it's price, was too snarly and feels a lil bit more synthetic than the other two actually. But tbh, if I wasn't aware that I'm watching a comparative video, I really couldn't tell the difference.

@frankstracuzza5949 8 месяцев назад

I think they all pretty much sound almost the same. The tonex for the price can't be beat. I use mine through an hx effects and its just amazing. They are all pretty amazing. Technology has come a long way from my first pod. Thanks for the video. 🤘🤘

@JoshuaLTRyan 8 месяцев назад

They are all good, but if we are splitting hairs I think I like the tonex or the quad cortex, then the kemper. Really at this point the modeling is good enough that you can just get the one that fits your needs best. Just the models? Tonex. All in one with effects? Quad Cortex, etc. You get the idea.

Well in Dynaudios and OLLO S4X cans? Tonex had a deeper bass to my ears. The differences were very minimal though, as to be expected these days.

@adrianb2066 5 месяцев назад

I have both a Kemper toaster and Tonex. I struggle to hear any major difference between the Kemper and the Tonex. While older, the Kemper is a much better all-in-one offering with great effects and fantastic reverb and delays. Bang for buck, the Tonex is a fantastic option if you don’t require effects. It’s a shame Kemper still don’t have a software plugin in available. It is a great Tonex feature to use profiles across software and hardware.

@sundrenched6248 4 месяца назад

Same boat here. I bought the Tonex pedal out of curiosity and nominally better accuracy. Also to have some fun creating a separate pedal board with knobs to turn. When I just want to pick up a guitar and play at night, I go to my Kemper 9 times out of 10. The nice thing about purchased Kemper profiles is you get an entire rig if you want, not just the amp. I have maybe 10 go-to profiles / rigs that I've landed on, and when I just want to noodle I pick one and go.

@music.corner 7 месяцев назад

tonex is the overall most accurate sounding profile. both the kemper and the quad cortex add a little bump around the 100hz range (which is not unpleasant). At this point it really doesn't matter anymore....all of the profiles nowadays sound soooo close to the real amps, nobody would ever be able to tell if an amp is real or not anymore. even real amps vary in sound...

May it be interesting to catpture the preamp section of your amp , then send this capture into the power section of the amp and compare it to the real thing. I alwayz wondered if the modelers can reproduce a 3d sound cuz a capture is basicly a one placement mics. If you can for exemple use a tonex pedal in a power amp and cab and get the same satisfaction than the real thing then its huge. If not , just stick to the software version , no need of hardware.

@kalinmirchev 2 месяца назад

The Kemper is definitely the closest, but even the Kemper misses some of the real amp characteristics. The ToneX seems to be further away, adding so much bass as if there is a lower octave...

@Andersrain 8 месяцев назад

from what i heard in this demo, the sound of the digital amps is great but it lacks the pick attack, it's not so dynamic but rather linear. it has a somewhat unstable treble. even so in the mix it goes unnoticed.

@hellaslayin7175 7 месяцев назад

The ToneX was the closest to the real rig imo. Too much EQ difference on the Quad. The Kemper did the classic high end push, lost a little dynamic clarity and articulation, and sounded a bit muddier in the upper lows to my ears.

@DeanBothaMusic 4 месяца назад

To my ears the Quad Cortex sounded slightly better than the Kemper in the isolated tracks, but in the mix the Kemper sounded the best by far. I didn't like the Tonex. It sounded too digital in my opinion. Great video man! Your playing and your tone in general is so good!🤘

@vandaven1861 8 месяцев назад

As usual, the modelers just don't manage to get that very important "first attack" and the dynamics right (and tight). No matter if open or palm-muted, I hear that something is missing with every modeler out there.

@spillemusicstudios8515 6 месяцев назад

I've noticed that too, but the UAFX pedals nail the feel thing better than any other digital solution out there. I recently did a comparison of my ac30 and princeton to helix native, kemper, and the ua pedals. Kemper sounded the closest to my amps, but the UA pedals nailed the feel and response. The waveforms the UA pedals recorded were almost identical to the waveforms of my real amps. Crazy
