In the august edition which i downloaded.
Article around taking 4 amps, 2 boutique, 2 run of the mill amps anddoing a blind test with 4 contributors to the mag,ppl who are knowledgeable about guitars, amps, etc.
One of the main things to come out of it is that whe listening to anotherperson playing it makes differences in amps smaller, less likely to be discerned compared to when playing one self....this makes sense.
Big thing too is the hit rate of correct guesses and that 3 of the 4 selected a non boutique amp as their favourite.
The test was not scietiific so one could poke holes in it but interesting nonetheless....
