Today I want to compare the newest addition to the STL Amphub suite, the 5150III model, to the 5150III from the STL Tonality Andy James suite!

First of all, check out this video if you want to see how the Andy James 5150III compares to my hardware 5150III head:
► youtube.com/watch?v=H8E2e441M6w

The 5150III in Amphub is modeled after the 100w version: three channels(red, green, blue) and same exact control layout as the head. The one in Tonality is inspired by the 50w version, and models the red channel, so it has Resonance knobs as well. This version also has three power tube options.
They do sound quite different, even though they share the same character.
Which one do you prefer?

TIMESTAMPS:
00:20 - STL Amphub Red Channel Demo
01:08 - STL Amphub Blue Channel Demo
01:33 - STL Amphub Green Channel Demo
01:50 - Differences between Amphub and Tonality
