Guy: "Yes, we have delved into the world of modelling. It's a useful tool. "The old with the new" "
This is very surprising, but maybe it doesn't mean they are using modelling
What does it mean exactly? I don't understand what modelling is. Can you explain?
Modelling is basically a digital representation of an amp, pedal, etc. In the old days, modelling was awful, but nowadays it's so good you can barely distinguish it from the real deal. Imagine playing your video game console emulated on a computer, this is what it means by modelling — emulating. And playing the "real deal" is sitting on a couch with a controller playing the game "the traditional way".
I have nothing to say against modelling. In fact, in half of my videos I used modelling amps, but sometimes I used transistor amps as well as relatively expensive valve amplifiers... And you really can't say which is which, especially via YouTube. They're just that good.
Technology has improved so much in the last years that there are softwares for PC or dedicate hardwares (like the Kemper) that simulate the sound of an infinite number of amps/guitars/microphones etc with a quality close to the real thing
And the quality of these thing sometimes baffles me! Especially given the vast number of hundreds of variations it gives you.
