I voted for A...but, only because you phrased the question that way...which may or may not be the question you really wanted answered.

Interesting...
You can actually scroll down to the bottom and select "desktop" and it shows up just like the page on a desktop. You can switch back and forth.

A has a lot of low-end energy that might need to be managed at mix time. B cuts more, and would require less finessing. IMHO both would be usable though. B sounds more aggressive, and that's a good thing on guitar tracks.

A is better, B is the Kemper  I just listened to them on my nieces "beats", these are the worst sounding headphones ever! Lol |

I like A much better.
But that's a matter of taste also.
B reminds me of kind of old school hard rock stuff, more aggressive, but has some sort of an unpleasant piece of edgyness, that i do not like. Hard to describe. Despite the fact, that i come from the hard rock side of music initially...
As matt said, it may be easier to place it in a mix, but this does not matter much if you simply don't like the sound.
A sounds more modern, softer and has a nice sizzling, and i like the warmth due to the low end better.
Depends on what the sounds are going to be used for...

I prefer A. More pleasing midrange response. I can see that sitting in a mix perfectly without having to do anything to it.

Just as an aside. Why are Fender Deluxe's so god damn loud? I mean they're friggin nuts!

So - A is Amplitube 3 Fender 65 Deluxe with the Princeton cab and a Royer 121 on the side of the cab. (Virtually  ) B is the Kemper with the Amp Factory Fender Deluxe 68 - www.theampfactory.com/downloads/fender-deluxe-68-jazz-modded-11-profiles/I was kind've really surprised...I've had success with the Kemper - and some profiles are definitely better than others...but I wanted to see how bread and butter sounds compared. I'm gonna try an AC30 next. There's an AC30 profile on the Kemper that I use on just about everything. The only problem with Amplitube is that it's a major hog and a PITA to have bounce the track every time. Also, buffers need to be to at least 128 to really play without any noticeable latency. Wish they made a box...Maybe NAMM. Or maybe it's time to just dump these and buy an AC15c1, Princeton and a 57... |

What did you use for the front end going in? My guess is the Heritage.

I dunno. I thought B beat it handily, I like a little brightness for a mix, it'll cut through and you can LPF some of the fuzz easier than boosting mids.
Although both seemed brighter than real life instruments..

I'm with Svart. I prefered B. Sounded more alive and less boxy than A. Neither are perfect IMO though.

I preferred A. Very cool that it's Amplitube.
Btw, I use Amplitube at a buffer of 256. You notice latency in that area, JK? I haven't. I sometimes get little glitches in the recorded audio if I go lower than 256.

Preferred the sound of A but B would suit certain styles better imo.
Is that a Heritage LP your talking about?

It's interesting...Listening to it on computer speakers, B sounds better...on monitors, A...For what I do here at home, the Kemper has been a godsend...Just like all great equipment, it gets me there quicker and I've been really happy with the sound. There are thousands of sounds available and they all sound damn good. While an amp in the room absolutely sounds better, by the time I get through miking it up and listening back - it often sounds pretty pedestrian.
What I should do is spend a day, borrow/rent 5 or 6 amps I think are bad ass, borrow a 121 and profile them. Really see what the Kemper is made of.

I'll have to try it again...Honestly, I don't know if I've really tried it since I've bought the Mac Mini...so it might be usable now. |
