I've been building some amps myself and when you're in to it with tweaking the sound etc you definitely hear the difference. However you must know what cab your using. As Ola stated in the video, the cab is even more important.

Blindfolded sound tests where you guess whats what is extremely hard for a number of reasons. The most difficult of all of them is getting nervous. When your nervous it's really hard to hear what your actually hearing. Also testing with the fishman fluence is also not conducive to hearing what your hearing. But the nerves, the fear of being wrong totally kills your ears perception. That ENGL is da bomb.

Having to ID a Laney Ironheart while blindfolded is just downright evil -- there are so many high gain sounds that you can mimic with that thing. I think you once mistook one for a Dual Rec in a "guess my rig" video.
@LindsayAdam447

MY 2 CENTS Just a friendly suggestion. Passive pickups and a 6 string in maybe drop D would allow the character of the amps to come through and make it a little for fair to Ola. I personally have a much harder distinguishing tonal characteristics the lower tuning I go. And actives can make feeling the amp and it’s responsiveness to touch/compression more difficult as well.

What a nice comparison! I'm actually the lucky owner of #1 and #2. Two absolute beasts and they can be used for so many good sounds. Also the Laney only costs about 600€ new, which is pretty good considering the sound and all the functions! But as Ola said, the tone is by 80% up to the cabinet/speakers.

Ola did this test a while back with few high gain amps where only amp would change and the conclusion was that the sound didn't change all that much between the amps. So it's not really surprising. I have a 5150 and I'm not buying another amp for metal tones ever, unless some drastic revolution in sound comes along.

How about trying some solid state amps, now that everyone is panicking about a tube shortage due to current world events. Everyone tests tube amps to death, but most people either cant afford them, or can't justify the cost. Just a SS amp with a boost and a noise gate. What say the Ola fans???
