The BE model seems to be a bit closer to the actual amp to my ears, of course, I dont have an Engl Savage, VH4, or Soldano, but they seemed slightly less represented in the modeling from what Ive heard of them compared to the BE. The Fractal modern seemed really good.
I'm guessing he just picked an amp and left at default settings. much like anyone going into a store and turning on an amp and just playing, i'm sure it's not set the way you would like it. My III is awesome. Longtime II and ultra before that user.
All of these sound like shit. Sorry to be that guy but they really do sound awful. Maybe better in a mix?. Surely AXE 3 can do much, much better than this.

Oh I'm sure but that's what makes it so unfortunate. EVERYONE always complains about preset tones. If you're going to go through the trouble of making the playthrough, get the best tones you can. Of COURSE the III sounds amazing. Fractal stuff is top notch. I loved the tones of my AX8, just hated editing.
I also get that this vid, whether we like it or not, is great for his channel. Gets a LOT of views as there aren't a ton out in the wild. I ain't mad at him. Just wish he'd have dialed them in a bit.
It will just take some of these guys time to figure out the unit and tweak it. It's probably more than capable. I mean listen to AX8 demos! Some are pretty damm impressive especially consider the thing is only $1099.
