Neural DSP Quad Cortex vs. Fractal Audio Axe Fx3 vs Line6 Helix | 1 Metal Song, 3 Amp Modelers

Описание: For me the most important question about an amp sim unit: How does the amp modeling section sounds like? After I did a similar comparison with all my tube amps a couple of weeks ago and because I just received the latest competitor for the holy amp modeler crown, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex some days ago, I decided to do a quick sound comparison of the amp modeling section between the Quad Cortex, the Axe Fx3 and the Helix by reamping the same song I used for my tube amp comparison video.

To have a fair sound comparison I tried to choose three similar amp models on each of the three units, disabled their individual cab section and used the same Impulse Responses from ML Soundlab, simulating a Mesa and a Zilla Cab. With this setup the difference in sound purely comes from the different amp simulations and doesn't depend on differences in the Cab section of the three modelers.

To make the sound comparison even more interesting I divided the song into two parts. The first one won’t show you the name of the modeler and amp sim used, so you have the chance to listen to the comparison without forming an opinion purely on the brand name, the second part will reveal the secret which unit you are hearing and shows the settings I used for my song.

What was your impression of the sound comparison? Which one of the three amp modeling processors did you liked most? Could you guess which is which or where you surprised by some of the results? Looking very much forward to hear your thoughts on the different amp sounds.
