I did a shootout between my 1959HW/1960AHW/1960BHW full stack and my headrush pedalboard on a pair of Laney LFR-212 FRFRs. It needed some serious tweaking on the tone with various IR files and some boost to get the headrush to the same sound. Yes, the Laneys couldn't keep up with the punch of the real amp in a live scenario, but after recording both thru a SM57 and a E906 the sound was almost indistinguishable. Even if you heard some difference, nobody could tell which one was which.
That's interesting! Totally my experience as well... you have to fiddle around like a MF to get the Amp Sim Sound close to the real amp. The real amp is still more dynamic if you listen closely but for some heavy rhythm strumming I doubt you could really hear it in a mix. Some lighter picking and playing with the volume knob mostly reveals the amp simulation. Cheers man!
On a DI comparison you can fool us, yes, both will sound good but not that great. The real fun is when you play live a tube amp, with a good power attenuator, unless you play in a very big venue.
hey mate you guessed right, B is the real amp! The only reason they could sound boxy would be my IR Loader... And the fact that there's absolutely no EQ or reverb or delay or compression on the audio files. Do you reckon other amp sims would win agains the 2203 in my video?
THE TONES START RIGHT HERE: 00:43
Huge difference
when you know, you know ;)

yeah mate the real fun starts in the room with the master at 4!
B is the amp
A is fuzzy and unnatural hence it is digital
@@peterknicked you are correct, sir 😎🤟
A=Amp
sank ju for your vote
B is the real amp :)
A tube amp will always be the best sounding, digital is very practical and versatile but it does not compare in quality to the real thing! 🤘
yeah man you are right! So whats the real amp ;)
B is darker but sounds true
@@Stereostupid you are perfectly right 👍🏾
I hear a digital cabinet on both.
@@RTGuitar10 hey man in the next videos I'll do more close micing
@@joapguitar Cool! I'll check it out!
TBH both are underwhelming by 2203 standards. B sounds more open and I expect to be the amp. A sounds like Bees. Both are boxy.
