Can you tell which is which? Line 6 vs Quad Cortex vs Fractal vs TONEX (Blind Test)

[@wttone]

The reveal is live here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp7UiqGpi8-cl5o

[@ethankeating7699]

They all sound incredible!🔥

[@nickgriffis3405]

Haven't watched the video yet. I think B is fractal D is Helix A Is QC C is Tonex I think the fractal doesn't actually take pedals the same way it takes the straight guitar signal. There is some magic in the single guitar input jack that does interesting things with impedance

[@schzacj]

Well they all sound good which is awesome for all of us! I’ll put my thoughts below. A > C > D > B A) Factal B) Line 6 C) QC D) Tonex

[@siegmac3267]

Correct answers are A. QC B. Fractal C. Tonex D. Hx meaning you thought Fractal is the best and Hx being the least but your ear was liking QC and hated Fractal.

[@SomeSortOfSound]

No clue what's what, but A and D are my favorite.

[@BJamin4God]

A - Helix B - Fractal C - Tonex D - QC Basing this off the last video. A sounded the most fizzy, B the least fizzy and almost choked, C not as fizzy as A, but still open. D not fizzy, like B, but sounded better than B. I’m also pretty certain C is Tonex because in the no fx clip it sounded different as far as the stereo field, and it’s the only one that isn’t a stereo unit, so it’s running dual mono.

[@Ozman77]

Funny how C sounds slightly more open to my ears. I mean, if you can barely tell the difference it probably isn’t that important. Also, I have the Nano, ToneX One, and an FM9 so I almost can’t lose 😂

[@kodymiller1602]

B is Helix. I'm not sure what the others are, but whatever A is A is my favorite.

[@ethankeating7699]

I would agree for sure

[@DanePeterson]

My guess: A Fractal B Helix C Quad Cortex D Tonex My favorite was probably D, thought it had some nice note separation and dynamics, but that could also be influenced by the one immediately prior. Thanks for the comparison!

[@hehedave]

A: Quad B: Fractal C: Tonex D: HX

[@wttone]

You’re the first person to right a guess for all 4. I’m curious why you feel what you do given that no one else seems to wanna take a zero-risk stab at guessing 😂

[@wttone]

Write a guess***

[@hehedave]

I was tooootally wrong last time with the AC30, so lets see 😂😂

[@hehedave]

@@wttoneWooooaaah! I got it right 🚀

[@richardsanchezjr.2273]

I'm still thinking about which is which, but to tell you the truth when there are so many effects going on at the same time it really doesn't matter which unit you were to use. Especially when you are playing with the band. All units sounded really good. A and D were my fav. You really heard a difference during the last play through. Just my two cents.

[@CiuciumisLuci]

A. QC B. Fractal C. Tonex D. HX

[@msturner79]

I was right last time on the picks for Tonex and QC. For what ever reason I feel like this one is much closer than the AC30 shoot out. I’ll take another listen with better headphones. I’m using AirPods right now. I’ll use my Max and see if I can tell better.

[@fedesaba721]

I agree, this time they all sounded closer

[@Badha78]

I dont believe you not included fender tone master pro in that comparation.

[@adamgerty]

A is freaking great!

[@mcpribs]

A > D > C > B I have no idea. I own one of them, and have never played the others.

[@Helix-Man]

D Is HELIX . Most natural breakup tubey Sound

[@Helix-Man]

Now I know I was right from my channel name

[@MattLawhonMusic]

These guesses are all over the place😂 Personally: A - QC B - Fractal C - HX D - Tonex

[@nathanleaman4826]

A - Fractel B - HX C - QC D - ToneX

[@hairman49er]

Final reveal is that it was a amp the whole time.

[@bartoszmachajewski6392]

A - HX Stomp B - Fractal C - Quad Cortex D - Tonex

[@bartoszmachajewski6392]

A and D are my favs. I like how they sound and how they handle wet effects

[@ndreyapto]

A. QC B. HX C. FRACTAL D. TONEX all of em sound good tho..

[@DanielBrophyMusic]

Is Kemper just no longer in the running?

[@DanielBrophyMusic]

A > D > C > B

[@wttone]

We don’t have two Kemper’s (in order to run them in stereo), so adding it wouldn’t really be fair in that regard.

[@kylerichardson1414]

A: HX; B: Fractal; C: ToneX; D: Quad Cortex I liked B the least and C the most.

[@GeoversePR]

Which one can take pedals best...amp in a box... everything is ok, but which can take pedals best the future is mix digital and analog.

[@Sharkbate211]

Seems a lot closer than the Vox one in my opinion

[@СтаниславСавицкий-о7в]

A - Fractal, B - ToneX, C - Quad, D - Helix (to me A is the winner and B is too weak to my taste 😊)

[@emmcc3442]

B is fractal and C is line6

[@brunoeiroz8361]

A. QC B. HX C. TONEX D. FRACTAL

[@DoverCCTechTeam]

A sounded more like a live amp. But D sounded best, much like A with less offensive tones

[@geetar42]

A) Fractal B) Quad Cortex C) Helix D) Tonex

[@itieknots7]

A & D sounded similar and the best...... C second.... and B was the worst. Would be nice to have the real amp as reference to the modelers.

[@TonefulPraise]

Why no UAFX?

[@JasonPelzel]

B seemed the most dissimilar. Softer. Whatever it is.

[@ethankeating7699]

I really hope B isn’t helix 😂

[@n8cook]

A > D > C > > > > > > B (Dear B - please don't be HX) A - ToneX B - QC C - HX D - Fractal

[@dansomerville]

Not going to guess which was which because who cares. A was the best B was the worst C and D were interchangeable most times

[@john808welk]

Based on the compression with wet effects and the top end, I'm almost positive that A and C are some variation of HX and QC, and B and D are tonex and Axe. I'll go: A QC B Axe C HX D Tonex Really like D and B, the other two get harsh above 4-6k in a way that none of my amps do when hit with effects. A is easily my least favorite.

[@worshiptutorials]

FIRST!

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

A and D sound the best, B is pure shit

[@Mrlz56]

I can tell the difference between good gear and sheitty SMT made digital counterfeits. We live in a analog world. thumbs down.

[@henrod27]

B is def HX cause Helix is lacking now

[@Helix-Man]

Funny B is actualy Fractal.

[@wttone]

We haven’t revealed which is which. Why do you think B is Fractal?

[@Helix-Man]

@@wttone it has subtle compression and longer sustain that can be heard in mid pickup clean test

[@Helix-Man]

Happy I guessed Right. Helix feels chocked at clean where fractal always has artificial sustain

[@hiphopgrinch]

C is HX

[@SundaySetlist]

A: Tonex B: Quad C: HX D: Fractal
