Preamp Battle - Blind Test - Real VS Neural DSP (Capture V1 & V2)

[RealAmpsAreDead]

Real preamp, V1 & V2 capture - same tube power amp!

My theory was always that the tube amp feel was mainly because of the power amp section. There was absolutely NO difference in feel whatsoever in this test. The upcoming Wampler Pedal Amp will hopefully close this gap forever and will make sterile solid state power amps be history. Anyways - did you find out what the real amp was? Did you hear a difference?

Saw you posted this the other day, I was able to pick out the amp but they are getting real close. The arpeggiated riff around 42 seconds gave it away. I've done the same thing with tonex in the power section and going back and forth some models work really well.

I can still feel a little compression on the digital stuff but its just going to keep getting better. Hadn't heard of the pedalhead until now, checking it out

yep - the apreggiated riff is the only part that gives it away - well done! But you probably can‘t hear that at all in a live situation. The thing I discovered was that the main part for the feel was actually the tube power amp not so much the preamp and in 3 years modelers will be at a point where those 1% difference will be gone as well I guess.
