@ithemba 4 жыл бұрын

well its a question of taste really. the EVH has a certain high mids - treble bite or hiss to it that you just have to like I guess - and thats obviously not Robs cup of tea. I guess I wouldn't enjoy playing one on itself - but I imagine its killer in the band, as I find myself regularly dialing in this kind of frequencies. Also a friend of mine plays one live and I really like his live tone.

The redundancy of listening to high quality guitar amplifiers and greenback speakers through my little phone speaker in mind, the Friedman amp sounded delightful. Like it was stubbornly refusing to play heavy metal shredding without adding a touch of classic rock.

Compared to the old Marks like the II or III it's a breeze to adjust, to be honest, but agreed it's definitely not a "set everything to noon and go" type of amp.

This is the best blind test I have seen in a while. A man who obviously has chops and pretty well knows the "feel" of how the various amps respond to his playing VERSUS the blind sound of the amps in a room. I expected him to recognize and love the sound of the Victory amp right away, since he is VERY familiar with that sound. No surprises there. And once again, the Kemper is clearly demonstrated to be the current pinnacle of modeling technology.

Excellent vid guys! We learned that Chappers normally looks at his fingers a great deal whilst playing. Naughty Chappers! We also learned, or perhaps got further affirmation, that Rob cannot tell the difference between a valve amp and the Kemper no matter what you try. We also learn from these awesome blind fold challenge videos that so much of the perception of amplifiers and instruments is brand marketing and brand loyalty rather than objective analysis of the amps and instruments themselves. I am happy that the amp Rob rated as his favorite was what it was because it deserves that recognition.
