Cool. I definitely preferred the last 2 over the first 3, more "roomy" and less "fizzy" to me, but couldn't tell you what was what!

Ola make everything sound great...he's a great player, great at dialing amps and great recording engineer! \m/

Goes to show in the right hands, anything can be a great tool.

I am a little surprised at how much darker the Kemper was and how freaking close the others were... especially the Bias head.

BIAS (desktop) rules.

So far I've cloned Eddie and Boston with BIAS... next will be Rhoads, LeTekro, Da Nuge, Scorps, Sykes, etc (the list goes on).

Sorry to step on your toes OP but he released the final video a few hours ago.

That sounds great! Would love to hear you getting some more artist sounds. I know that when I hear the tone match next to the amp, there is a bit of a difference and the Bias sounds more fizzy to my ears. However, on it's own it sounds great and much better than any of the line 6 stuff to my ears.

I was able to guess the real amp and the Kemper. The Kemper sound always has a bit more low end than what it profiles. The AX8 sounded the worst IMO.

Thanks - I never use the tone match (not a fan) - I use my ears, research and studio knowledge.
