Friedman Amp - Kemper v UAD v real amp

I must admit, I've only listened on the laptop (I only do 90% of my critical listening on my macbook ) but I thought B and C sounded pretty similar. I thought A sounded the most finished and well-eq'd.

Moving a mic an inch can be the difference in all these tones, all of these sound great, I would probably guess B is the UAD? I can't tell I have no idea, I like B the least.

We are all agreed!! A sounds glorious, B sounds like SKUT and then C sounds ok.

Yeah - once I knew the answers, I thought B sounded almost exactly like C. Which then made a lot of sense.

Listening exactly once through iPad speakers, I actually preferred B. Thought it was the amp. Then C then A, which just didn't sound quite right in the top or bottom. But, iPad speakers, so basically meaningless. 

But, proving once again, that I can take up bandwidth like nobodies bidness. I did read the comments that most disliked B before I posted, but after I listened.

Off to see what was actually what.

Cheers,

Yes, two should have sounded the same, but didn't.
I like B the least clearly and slightly prefered A to C. But i just listened 1x..
Did not see the results yet. Hmmmm Let's see....

Took Chuck's hearing test, I'm done right about 11k. I heard some kind of aliasing higher than than, but no more HF. Some competition around 4-5.5 k with my tinnitus. I'll call it good. Good recordings still sound glorious to me at this Grandpa stage.

I bought the UAD Friedman after seeing the Pete Thorn demo. It sounds fine, I'd use it on a recording. No one's gonna say, "..heyy, that sounds like a sim!"

Oh, well, don't get me wrong, i preferred the UAD amp sim too, it surely does sound good.
And in this comparison better than the real thing (ehm, okaaayy).
But really the Kemper sounds darker and somehow dull to me and most of us liked it least, most probably because of this and i found this not subtle at all. And it does in comparison to both others. If the recording chains are so far off of each other, that the real thing and the kemper profile sound so different, then it is all comparing apples to oranges without mentioning, and in the outcome of the blind comparisons nearly all of us chose the UAD as most preferable. It sounds good, but this does say nothing about the other two...
By no means i say the UAD is not good. I really liked it, and i have no bias against good sims at all. (In fact i use the amps i still have rarely nowadays and play bass and guitar most of the time with sims...)
Hm, i hope this was clearer or more understandable. No offenses intended....
