Thank you for this. Would you ever consider doing a comparison with simple chugging power chords? I'm noticing that the PSA2 pedal is distorting completely differently to the Pro Tools Sansamp PSA plugin. Unfortunately I think the plugin sounds miles better for palm muted power chords for example. Because turning the Buzz knob up all the way on the plugin does some kind of black magic with distorting the the upper harmonics that the PSA 2 guitar pedal isn't doing I'd really love to know if the ORIGNAL PSA-1 rack unit chugs the upper harmonics like the plugin does and the PSA-2 doesn't.. or if the plugin is truly one of a kind
Thanks for doing this. The V2 sounds more congested/close. The difference is notable between track PSA-1 track at 2:42 and the V2 starting at 2:50. . . or between the 19 JAZZ settings. Not sure if Tech21 is using different components for the later model. The same transistors typem can sound different in different size packaged, coming from different manufacturers etc. The V2 is a bit of a muddy-mess & a NO from me, sad. Another audio product that became a downgrade in a later version
Thanks for this awesome comparison, well done!

Thanks for posting this.!! I only wish I could have heard some power chords on each crunch model 🙂

@@Mirron unfortunately, I no longer own these. I actually sold the pedal this evening. I’m already missing it 😂
@@nateonearth Ha! No way. No problem dude thank you anyway

The 2.0 isn't as tight in the low end, which makes it sound bottom heavy to me.
It sounds the same to my ears.
