Oh many things to consider actually. First of all stacking overdrives has a limit and one of these overdrives can be the amp as well.
-Vintage sounding amps (Fender, matchless...) to my ears doesn't have hard clipping. Hard clipping doesn't always mean distorion, alone it actually sounds more like a fuzz pedal set to minimum. When played on dirty channel (most almost never uses clean) the overdrive pedals role is more to the volume boost than dirt.
But when added the dirt too, it starts to sound like white noise
the limit has a very fine line between awesome and disgusting. On the other hand if we have some hard clipping (marshall, laney which is used on the last video I shared), then that "too much" overdrive dirt is used for fat/smooth distortion.
Discarding the added noise, distortion sound can handle stupid amounts of overdrive. So when demoing the same pedal through different amps, I guess people get confused and use the pedal simply wrong or choose the wrong amp.
-A mic. truly makes a positive difference, to me its actually more of a mixing favored positivity as all the depth and dynamics are there compared to an ir. I guess for the last 5 years I've been saying its time to focus on cab. sim.s than tubes when chatting but very little progress has been achieved in that technology.
I can't blame them as its about the customer requests too on where programmers has to focus. On the other hand many people aren't aware on how ancient the ir technology they are using.
