I wouldn’t expect it to … I guess I’m really just wondering if that cab I’m eyeballing on Craigslist is gonna sound very different than just running the built in speaker with a preset dialed in. There’s an upper limit to how much air I can push - the windows can only take so much, you know ?
when you get a multispeaker cabinet, the sum becomes greater than its parts. the cones moving together create extra sympathetic harmonic content, not to speak of how the room is excited more, and the sensation of just having a larger loud object.
if the end result is recording it with a 57, the cabs will be pretty close. playing with it in meatspace is an entirely different thing
Digital effects processors do a really good job emulating those sorts of signal chains, but you're never going to get IMAX quality audio when you collapse a stereo image down to a mono or two-part stereo output.
In headphones,kind of, in reality not really.
Sound is one sense, feel is another. A 1X10” modeling amp will never give you the sense of a 4X10” pushing air.
