Mesa Boogie Mark IV | Comparing the Mark IV on the HX Stomp , Ampero , Axe Fx 3 and GE200

[@TaylorDanley]

Wow, thank you guys so much for watching! I've updated the link with the new patches (sorry about that!) AS WELL as a new IR for you to check out. SUBS NOT DRUGS. 🤘👌🤷‍♂️🥳

[@danielnuzum8117]

Hey man, love this vid! The Mark series is my favorite amp line ever! I was wondering which one felt the best to play to you personally? I have a mark V 25 and I love it but it's just too difficult to travel with and sometimes isnt loud enough, which would you recommend purely on the feel?

[@RolandoCruz]

Wow very impressive comparisson. I really like how the ampero Sounds in other vídeos but here i think its at bottom of all!

[@conminado]

IMHO axe fx consistenly on top. Loved the bottom end here. Then hx stomp, pretty balanced all around. Ge200 was like something missing. And last, the ampero. Extremely fizzy, stock and custom ir. By the way, great video and awesome playing!

[@cristianramos2867]

i don’t know if that ampero sound is any closer to the real thing but I really liked that gnarly tone 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jimshea9248]

That Mooer and the HX Stomp are absolute fire. The Ampero sounded too fizzy to me.

[@Ronny1031]

Until I started watching these comparison videos (starting with the mooer vs Ampero ones), I never quite appreciated just how much the cabinet in your signal chain affects the tone. Sure, the amp, distortion and guitar has an effect, but it seems to me that the cabinet/speaker the amp is playing through definitely seems to have the largest influence on the tone. Killer video as usual, Taylor! I've been using the IR you have shared on tracks I've been mixing and it has seriously improved my tone! Thanks for sharing, man!

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌 yeah makes a huge difference! No prob, glad to do it!

[@williamscolaro1159]

True in any setup IR or not. The cab is basically an EQ curve

[@CorNigrum]

Stock: AxeFX, Helix, Mooer, Ampero; With custom IR: Helix, AxeFX, Mooer, Ampero. The AxeFX and Helix sounds are pretty usable; the Mooer sounds a bit flat and the Ampero too fizzy.

[@ssmetalrulz]

Man I love these comparos you do ! Seriously thinking of picking up an HX Stomp soon..

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks 🙌 it's a awesome unit, cant go wrong!

[@cristi.trohin]

Wow! Dude... this is surreal... Every time you do these videos my jaw drops :) I can't believe how good the GE200 sounds... FML... I cannot get mine to sound so good on stock IRs, tho somehow, in every comparison you manage to make it sound killer. Goes to show that experience with tone and recording goes a long way. Thanks for your video man! Can't wait to see your take on the Powerball :) P.S. I think you forgot to upload the patches on your Dropbox :)

[@TaylorDanley]

I did!! 🙈 will upload in 15 min

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

The Axe FX III stock actually nails what a analog Mark IV sounds like. Mark IVs have a tone of mids in them. The Stomp actually sounded pretty good stock. It removed a lot of the junk mids. The Ampero boosted a lot of the 5k-8k range so the high end sounds like it is on fire. I am biased since I have an Axe Fx III but the stomp really impressed it.

[@shawnmiles4049]

This video confirms something I’ve known for a minute. 3rd party IR’s are the key. Even a tone obsessed company like FAS, who in my opinion as a customer, are a company that strive for the best possible quality, the IR’s are their weak link. Right now, Mikko is my jam! As far as the modeling, I am glad to say that the Line 6 and FAS sound the closest and most pleasing. This is comforting since I own an AF2 and Helix lol. I will say that something FAS gets that L6 hasn’t is the gain structure, on the helix is seems like their amp gain algorithm is clean, dirty and high gain, whereas with the Axe FX the gain varies much more model to model, there’s feeling in the gain, it’s hard to explain.

[@thomasfoster4091]

Dude, great video. Your IR was an improvement on each model. Made the Axe FX sound muuuch better. Surprisingly I thought the HX killed it. Ampero has too much going on in the highs, which was distracting from what else it was doing. The GE200 also surprised me.

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌 thanks!

[@MenachemHermanMusic]

Thank you for this video! It's really helpful to understand the tonal characteristics of each modeler! It's really important to make your sounds in the same type of speakers that you will actually be playing through when performing. Otherwise, it can sound completely different in in ear monitors, wedges, and the like. Thanks again!

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌

[@vapor9699]

Great video! Two things always happen when I watch these units in comparison videos - 1) the Axe Fx never blows me away 2) the GE200 is always a big surprise. No doubt custom IRs make all of them capable. Be well

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks! 🙌 all good points!

[@felipepassoni4301]

Your videos are really good, man! Thanks for the comparison.

[@TaylorDanley]

Thank YOU! 🙌

[@rahulbasu659]

Loved the Axe FX sounds. What really surprised me was the Line 6 - enjoyed the sound way more than I'd imagined I would.

[@TaylorDanley]

Get some quality IRs and it will still do the job!

[@rahulbasu659]

@@TaylorDanley Would you please do a FM3 vs Helix LT comparison video, if possible! Imagine it'd be pretty similar though?

[@TaylorDanley]

I think the helix line of products all share the same cpu and software, so they sound the same. I imagine that's true for fractal as well.

[@kingsunday1025]

Can't wait for the real deal shoot out. Mesa Boogie Mark IV is definitely my #1 dream amp.

[@TaylorDanley]

Me either!

[@Steve_Foretoken]

Axe Fx wins this, hands down. I’ve always felt Fractal had the best Mark series models. I love how the controls are identical to the real amp.

[@TaylorDanley]

Honestly... I feel like it behaves the most like a real amp out of all of them. Especially after doing all the shootouts. I understand why they are so expensive now.

[@nobodys.shapeshifter]

It sounds a lot louder than the line6 right before it, that throws things off

[@Stefan-]

"Hello me, it's me again" The video got me thinking of that line from Megadeth, when you were talking to the other you :-) The Ampero in this test sounded so fizzy that you could almost think the speaker emulation was off, the Axe sounded best to me in this video.

[@TaylorDanley]

😂 yeah, I think it mostly has to do with copying the settings from the others, and the ampero behaving differently than the others with this amp model. It sounded great when I did the LOG ToneQuesting with it.

[@Stefan-]

@@TaylorDanley Through your comparison of these units, there has been different units that has been the best at a perticular time, so they can all be made to sound good.

[@daniloberserk]

I'm curious of what happen to the sound of the ampero if you dialed to match the sound of the other sims. Seeing your other videos the ampero has a much better sound.

[@itsmyguitar]

I've had the GE200 for a couple of years (or more) now, and was very impressed that I could get it to sound like my real Mesa Boogie MKIII. I do run a BBE Sonic Stomp Sonic Maximizer pedal in front of it (I have a BBE 422 Sonic Maximizer in my rack). And that helps get it closer to my sound. Really looking at the Ampero as I've had some really good luck running a couple of the nano amps (Capitan Sunset) as power amps and my Amplituble Mesa Boogie patches through my Mesa Boogie guitar speakers. It's a kick ass 5 watts and I have two as I play in stereo. I caught the comment that you said that the Ampero does not have a 5-band EQ like on the Boogies, but in the manual they reference an EQ called "V EQ". It is described as "Based on the 5-band EQ module on Mesa/Boogie * amps". That makes it very appealing, to me. Great video, thank you.

[@jesus4pincho]

Hey, mark 3 in the mooer ge200.... It has a mark iv or v if i don't remember well

[@yixuanchen3376]

Hi,Taylor,I subscribe to you for a while, and I just bought a Ampero couple of weeks ago. I use headphone(DT770 80ohm) for playing,but I always find it sounds dull,like “in a box “.Both the patches I downloaded and I dialed myself. Do you have some suggestions?Or maybe if I use studio monitors that will be better? Thank you!

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks 🙌 not familiar with those headphones, but if you're getting the same results no matter what, that's probably the case. Maybe you could borrow some and see if that's what's going on? Monitors will give you a very flat response, but it's one of those things where you really need to do your homework, because often proce dictates performance.

[@96169QQ]

ampero:"wtfking wrong with me?!?!"

[@justincider4375]

Ampero was the only one that I didn't like at all. The rest were fine, with Axe Fx having a slight edge for me. As a Helix user, I have to say, some quality cab IR's are a must with this unit, it makes a world of difference.

[@TaylorDanley]

I agree. I think the Ampero is mostly suffering from being dialed in with the same settings as the other units here. It would benefit tremendously from a high pass around 14k

[@drzevoo]

1. Axe 2. HX Stomp 3. GE200 4. Ampero

[@dan_perry]

Thanks for the comparison! Question about the signal chain....did you use a boost/OD in chain? Because the real thang doesn't need them.

[@TaylorDanley]

I cant remember if I did in this video or not, I typically do.

[@dan_perry]

@@TaylorDanley I'm not sure if you are a aware of it but the Ampero has the Boogie 5 band eq available in the EQ block...its called V-EQ.

[@TaylorDanley]

I'm aware, I think I used it on this patch, but I cant remember

[@RidzuanYahya]

Sure the Axefx sounds good to everyone, but can everyone afford one? The GE200 is the winner for me TBH.

[@TaylorDanley]

From a price to performance ratio, it's hard to beat

[@derek_d]

Just buy an FM3 👍

[@labyzoune5751]

Hi ! love your videos ! I would love to see you comparing all these modeler without the cab emulation thru a power amp. I often use modeler with my peavey 50/50 classic power amp thru a real 4x12 cab (a Marshall 1960 lead in my case)

[@TaylorDanley]

😮 I love this idea!!

[@Spark-xu1mu]

I don‘t know what it is, but the Ampero sounds very fizzy/fuzzy on every amp model. Btw do you think the GE200 is good for live performance? Great Video as always

[@TaylorDanley]

I think I know what it is! Check the description, I explained it there. Yeah, I've used it live. I dont really do much footswitching/expression pedaling, so take it with a grain of salt, but worked great! Thanks!! 🙌🙌

[@satarello]

I'm impressed how the Mooer and Helix sounds on custom IR, but 1. The winner is fractal especially on custom IR. Ampero have to much saturation and fizz... 2. FOR THE PRICE THE WINNER COULD BE HELIX and AMPERO. thanks Mr Taylor...

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌🙌

[@HalfDread87]

I think the guitar only section towards the end shows that you need to pay more attention to levels when recording. The Helix, which had by far the lowest volume always being followed immediately by the Axe FX which had the highest, had me wondering whether differences I was hearing were due to tone or the fact that I could just hear the Axe FX more than the others. I could also hear differences in mixing, the double tracking and playing that was clouding my judgement too. You should do a section where we hear just a straight, single guitar passage being played without stereo double tracking or any other mixing except maybe just to match the volume for each clip, because that's what we will hear if we choose any of these modelers. IMO it would help to remove all the variables and let us hear the sound of the models.

[@-jk-2580]

I have Mark IV. In this comparison Axe-Fx was best. In fact it was only one where I reconized IV’s distinctive sound. Generally they all sounded overcompressed.

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks for the input. I was scheduled to shoot it out with a real one before my States stay at home order. Good to know!

[@adammays3128]

Helix sounds best IMO, Fractal 2nd. Gives me hope for the POD Go..

[@tonebasedfrom]

Awesome tone from Ampero w/ Stock IR. Custom IR upgraded GE200 tone. HX it's a 8/10 comparing with Ampero. AXE FX are very good tone too.

[@HighSpeedirt1]

Axe fx3 is my top pick here. GE 200 and HX stomp sound good. Ampero made me cringe, thought it was the stock cab, but the custom ir couldn't save it either.

[@dissonantstyle]

I always really like the mids of the axe-fx, but end up prefering how the HX sits the mix. Starting to like that little Line 6 thing mooer and mooer 🤫

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌

[@davebassP5]

What stock IR’s? The Stomp doesn’t come with any does it?

[@TaylorDanley]

Stock cabinets

[@Playmanmusic]

Great video, man! Thanks.

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌

[@scottwhitlow8468]

Great video. You should try and add in a Headrush Gigboard or something similar soon. That would be a good one to add in the mix during these comparisons. Thanks!

[@TaylorDanley]

I'm tossing the idea around. Might be April before I decide what hardware to add.

[@JeffHesterDesigns]

Love this amp model. It would be interesting to compare a tone match of these on the Axe Fx. Just to check out the curve difference. It seems like the AxFx3 always has a mid bump compared to the others on these comparisons. It seems to help any of the contenders that have more mids. The HX Stomp usually does a little better than it did this time. This time it sounds pretty bad. (I'm an AxFx 2 user but have no brand loyalty. I also have some Line6 stuff, and been impressed with the others).

[@TaylorDanley]

It does feel like the axefx is usually mid heavy. I find this to kind of be in line when using a real amp though. Most modelers produce a lot of high end that just doesnt exist with a real amp 🤷‍♂️

[@scorpthe]

The problem with Mooer's Mark is the lack of preEQ. They make this amp so versatile. So it sounds like Mooer set all the knobs at 12 and matched this amp. The bass knob, as you know, at 12 makes sound more fuzzy. #lifehack The best way to get "that" tight Mark sound on GE200 is to put "tube drive" as the heater in DS section before Mark. Even if you're a Mooer 008 micro preamp owner you can put smth like "mooer pure boost" before it, so the treble and the bass on it will be your preEQ. Put treble all the way up, bass all the way down and so, here it is, dry tight Mark sound. Add here 5-band EQ with 1960 cab and you can get master of puppets album sound!

[@TaylorDanley]

Nice tip! Thanks 🙌

[@patricekrzeminski4292]

Axe-fx gets the job for me. Your videos are so well made. Thank you.

[@mattz1686]

I like all of the opinions of the guy in glasses.

[@TaylorDanley]

😂 well, he may be returning..

[@yoitsmegabe]

Stock the axe fx sounded closest to a real mark series amp, but the helix sound sat perfectly in the mix and sounded best. Maybe the helix had more mids pulled out. With your custom IR the axe fx won by a small margin with slightly clearer high end detail. Cool shoot out for my favorite series of amps.

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks 🙌 one of favorites too!

[@IntheDAW]

stock IR's I LOVE the axe fx, the helix was really good too just had a interesting fizzy high end that can be fixed with some eq but its something ive noticed with my helix haswell. ampero has a kinda overly scooped sound but does have a richer high end. the moor was good too none of them are bad. as for the custom IR I LOVED the Axe fx I feel like you are really getting some great tones out of it nowadays. the helix was great I loved it the moor was next than the ampero. either way none of them sucked. I am glad I have a helix and a ampero tho. can't afford that axe fx but man it has something to it that just sounds real.

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, I feel like most of what happens is the unit I start with sounds the best when I do this style of comparison where I'm copying the settings. The Ampero just behaves differently. I think I should dial them all individually next time... maybe.

[@IntheDAW]

@@TaylorDanley well thats kind of the thing people want to see how close you can match them. But than you have issues on some people wanting to know why one js processed differently. You can only make everyone happy if you make the same video 6 difforent way. And even then..... lol great work on this one tho i feel each one gets better and better.

[@TaylorDanley]

@@IntheDAW Thanks! You are totally right, you can't make everyone happy, lol. I try to take in all the criticism and weigh what I think is valuable and discard what is not.

[@jcarnabuci]

Man, the GE200 holds it's own! I have trouble with the high end fizz on the Ampero. There are some better cab IRs to get rid of this, but I understand what you're doing in this video. Same custom IR doesn't really satisfy the needs on all modelers.

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, I explained some of this in the description. I need to take a different approach with the next vid. Believe me, all the comments have helped me figure some stuff out! Otherwise I'd be doing this in a vacuum.

[@chrismsantos]

i tried download IR in description but not works is off .. reupload bro... i get try use my ampero mp100

[@devilslide01]

Funny, in previous videos of the like , I rated Ampero higher. I think it’s the lowest this time with that fizz going on . The rest seem pretty even

[@amitchatterjee6897]

Whats the best between ge200 and hotone ampero longevity wise.both made in China.

[@nd3783]

I can tell you I have the mooer preamp live and it lasted 6 months. Stayed only in the house. Wasn't gigged. It was babied. Recommendation is go with something like Ax Or Stomp

[@TaylorDanley]

I have both, played shows with both... they are both built really well. I think the expression pedals feel like the cheapest part quality wise, but even then, they still feel like they will hold up.

[@kcrich1310]

The Ampero kicked ass with the stock IR but was so so with the custom one. The Axe III is the most consistent though. Seems like anything you run through it sounds good.........

[@TaylorDanley]

Hard to mess up the axefx, but I've had a few shootouts where it wasnt my #1 🤷‍♂️

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

Jealous of your krankenstein. Tried buying one once about 10 years ago, but the transformers were bent to a 45 degree angle, and obviously, the amp barely functioned. Haven't found one when I've had the money since then

[@TaylorDanley]

I almost sold it a while back. I'm really glad I didnt! They are much harder to find now!

[@joristimmermans5058]

I agree on the Ampero comment - it does sound tinny and thin in the comparison, which is an interesting reversal from the previous video where the HX Stomp was the weirdly thin one and I liked the ampero for its mids (though it had slightly too much). This time around I like the HX Stomp and GE200, the Axe-FX is a bit too woody/middy, and the Ampero is just "please DNR".

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, check the description. I'm starting to understand why this happens I think.

[@AndrewStonerock]

I liked all but the ampero. The helix could have cut better as well. It was a decent shoot out though.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

I would like to hear the same, but with the Atomic amp modelers.. Very cool though. Love it..

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌

[@lorraineming4590]

The Mark IV sounds so menacing it’s ridiculous.

[@400_billion_suns]

Can't wait to hear a blind shootout with the real amp! AxeFX always has a more articulate high-frequency character in these tests vs the Helix (almost makes it sound like it has a more spacious stereo field). While that may sound most pleasing to the ear, in most of the shootouts I've heard against the real amps, that character of the AxeFX is actually less accurate than the modelers that sound slightly more 'boxy' like the Helix. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHK9d3-Pq7Clf68

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks for the link! I'm excited too, just a few more things need to fall in place, maybe 2 weeks and then I can do it.

[@400_billion_suns]

@@TaylorDanley awesome! Really enjoying your channel, great job on it!

[@danyeo]

In a room if you stick a Mesa Mark IV I top of a real 4x12 it’s the best loud live tone you’ll get. Of course the modelers offer a lot of versatility and you can always plug a modeler into the fx return of an amp and see how close it gets.

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Tell that dude in a jacket to go fly a kite :P Ampero always seems to have a scratchy edge. The GE200 sounded very impressive. The HX and Axe FX III sound pretty similar. It's interesting to see how close they can really sound. Live? I'd wager most people couldn't tell a damn thing. Great video!

@@TaylorDanley Oh I thought you tried to dial the post EQ to sound as close as possible instead of dialing the exact same settings!

[@TaylorDanley]

@@michaelrock yeah, exact same. That's what I do most of the time.

[@SusNoodle]

Something I've also noticed with the ampero, definitely not Taylor's intention nor is it exclusive to the way he Eqs. The ampero just spits fizz on everything for some reason.

[@michaelrock]

@@SusNoodle I don't think so. I own an Ampero and for my experience is just a matter of EQ. It seems the Ampero just has more treble in general than the others, you just have to turn it down a little bit. I assume Taylor uses one unit (I suppose the AXE) to dial a base tone and then dial the same EQ on the other units. This also can be a personal choice of "go to" sound, when I dial a tone in Helix Native (supposedly the same sound as the HX Stomp) I always get annoying frecuencies and never achieve a tone that I like, but I love almost every Taylor's HX Stomp tones. Hope my comment is understandable, english is not my mother language lol Keep doing amazing demos! And maybe a more fair comparison is dialing everything at 12 o clock in every unit!

Great shoot-out. The Ampero is really horrible, I personally would get rid of that thing as quick as possible, I don't see any use for it, with or without the IR. The GE200 is very decent, I'd say it's even better than the HX. Again, the Axe FX3 has this little extra something that when put side by side like this with the others, sounds more authentic.

[@TaylorDanley]

It's true.. and I can tell you from using the axefx, it behaves the most like a real amp when dialing it in. The Ampero got the short end of the stick in this one, check the description for those details
