Like the title says. You can't decide whether you want to buy speaker A or speaker B or even C so you watch a few videos on yt of somebody doing back to back comparisons playing a series of clean and crunched tones on all contenders. Finishes by not offering their own opinions but asking you which you preferred and why and if you like the video then click and subscribe?
All well and good but the sound has come out via your TV or computer speaker so I can't tell the difference between any of them. They all sound exactly the same (as you would expect). Am I missing something here?

On the other it does highlight that a lot of gear sounds the same. Danish Pete playing through loads of variants of overdrive pedals some of which cost ten times as much as others highlights that very well.

It's a bit weird blaming the video maker for a viewer not listening with adequate kit.

On the other hand, it does at least give a rough idea.
Sum up: I'd much rather have a rough idea than no idea.

And this it the usual 'end credits', which you can't blame them for doing to be fair.
As an aside if they have been provided with the product for free or for review or are sponsored for it then it is a legal requirement to declare this in the video. Some admit they have but say their review is not influenced by that sweetener and is an honest review. Read into that what you will but I'm not convinced on the impartiality if they rave about it.
Anyway, the Fane F70 sits here with me in a box. It'll be going in the Blues Junior either Friday evening or Saturday morning but I'll have to run it in to give a fair review of it.
