Marshall CODE vs Fender GT vs Blackstar ID Core - Digital Amp Shootout

I recorded these clips just before returning each amp back to Rattle & Drum so that I could stitch them together for a shootout video. They were recorded in different months of the year, so it's not a scientific comparison! But this could still be useful for anyone who wants to hear the strengths of each amp. ** Disclaimer - the video is just placeholder clips - the visible settings aren't related to the audio. I can't remember what the settings were, I just dialed them in very quickly before recording ** With the mic-ed up clips you can definitely hear the difference between the speaker sizes on each amp - with the Blackstar having the smallest speakers, then the Fender, then the Marshall having the biggest. In the room though, the Fender and Blackstar produce some nice stereo effects and sound nice with their full range speakers. 0:16 - Talky Intro ** Mic-ed up ** 0:52 - Marshall CODE - Clean 1:10 - Fender GT - Clean 1:31 - Blackstar ID Core - Clean 1:52 - Marshall CODE - Breakup sound 2:12 - Fender GT - Breakup sound 2:29 - Blackstar ID Core - Breakup sound 2:48 - Marshall CODE - Crunch 3:09 - Fender GT - Crunch 3:29 - Blackstar ID Core - Crunch 3:48 - Marshall CODE - Overdrive 4:03 - Fender GT - Overdrive 4:19 - Blackstar ID Core - Overdrive 4:32 - Marshall CODE - Distortion 5:03 - Fender GT - Distortion 5:34 - Blackstar ID Core - Distortion ** Digital Emulated Output ** 6:04 - Marshall CODE - Clean 6:21 - Fender GT - Clean 6:39 - Blackstar ID Core - Clean 6:55 - Marshall CODE - Breakup sound 7:14 - Fender GT - Breakup sound 7:32 - Blackstar ID Core - Breakup sound 7:52 - Marshall CODE - Crunch 8:11 - Fender GT - Crunch 8:30 - Blackstar ID Core - Crunch 8:51 - Marshall CODE - Overdrive 9:07 - Fender GT - Overdrive 9:23 - Blackstar ID Core - Overdrive 9:40 - Marshall CODE - Distortion 10:10 - Fender GT - Distortion 10:40 - Blackstar ID Core - Distortion Buy 'em here: http://www.rattleanddrum.com/marshall... http://www.rattleanddrum.com/fender-m... http://www.rattleanddrum.com/blacksta...
