That’s what I thought. Every single time a purest makes a declaration and is asked to back it up with evidence, they go all conspiracy theory defensive, and offer nothing of value.AC222 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 8:58 amJust use your ears bud. Also listen to the the emissary plugin demo. Older version or not you can hear with the same consistency that the captures version sounds flatter than the original as in less lively in the transient response. It's a great tool for what it is. Just pointing out I don't think we are quite there yet as in the captures are exactly like the real thing. Some discerning individuals can tell the difference and for them it that difference whether it is small or big may matter.
For many folks, they won't care and will be thrilled to get a free approximation of an amp sound but for those that try to convince that it is indistinguishable, they could take their sales pitch somewhere else.
I’m reminded of the demo that pushed me to buy an AxeFX. It was a blind test buy a guy who’s notoriously anti modeler. I picked the AxeFX as my preference almost every time, and when I didn’t, it was too close to call.
