No doubt that the modern stuff is aiming for a more accurate representation, but something that should be noted, is that those earlier modelers were not trying to replicate a natural "in the room" raw type sound but more so a processed studio sound. Gotta remember a lot of those early units were used on thousands of recordings ever since the late 90's! No music fan knew the difference or that recording processes were changing behind the scenes! They sounded fine then when dialed in, so trying to do a comparison with a neutral tone really neutered that J-Station. The sound of what is today known as "modern Metal" (really just Progressive Metal guys who think they represent the whole genre) is even built heavily around the sound of heavily processed digital amp sim tones! Plenty of videos out there showing how the Line 6 POD 2.0 and Behringer V-amp still sound great and usable and sometimes even preferable to the newer stuff such as the amp modeler shootout from Anderton's a few years ago, although I am not knocking your effort here. Keep on Rocking brother! \m/
I appreciate your opinion, but I personally never liked the sound of post Y2k rock albums, until around 2008-10. I mean, if the J was going for "studio sound" then that only amplifies the limitations of the technology at the time. To each his own though... thanks for the thorough rebuttal 👍
@@cuomomusiccreation Thanks for taking the time to converse on the topic! One of my favorite Rock albums growing up was Crossfade's self-titled debut album released in 2004, which was recorded in Ed Sloan's home recording studio with a Line 6 POD Pro rack-mount setup. I didn't know it wasn't real amps until a few years ago when I started getting into modelling, so that reinforces my view that you can't tell the difference in quality between analogue and digital in recoded music! We'll have to agree to disagree on whether or not those late 90's / 2000's album tones were good or not and the usability of those early modelers! Cheers! \m/
@@SerpentsBane1995 Sure thing. In the end it's all user preference any how. One man's aliasing might be another ones "edge", etc. While not exactly cheap, I'm loving the new UA stuff. I can agree that it's definitely good times now for digital.
Man, that J Station sounds like ass. I am a bit put off by the UA pedals because they charge you $200 just to look at them if an issue comes up. I use an HX Stomp, or my amp, or plugins.
Yeah, that J-Station surprised me! I hadn't fired it up in like 15 years or more. Terrible. I'm not sure about the UA warranty. I usually don't put much stock into that stuff, because I had the misfortune of being a computer repair tech for about 8 years, haha. How do you like the HX? One of the main reasons I bought these two pedals is that the touch responsiveness is kinda stunning. They react very lifelike.

I actually prefer the fender sound on the Sansamp. Still holds up pretty well considering.
It totally does, especially on the clean setting. Distorted however, I don't think it really sounds like a tweed at all... but it still sounds cool!
Nice riff in the credits song
Thanks a lot! I was going for some Abbey Road vibes.
love this one
Thanks!
