High gain Metal Speaker Shootout #2

This amp is difficult to make bad tones from, ( I don't know much about the clean channel)... but OD1 and OD2 each have 3 modes, green, orange, and red ... And they are all glorious!

I also think in this video all the speakers sound great, with the ENGL, some were better than others.

Yes.
I want that Amp. It sounded great with all of them! lol.

This time I liked the Manowar T-75 and Swamp Thang

Okay.... not sure if I should be worried or not.... but I concur. T75 and again Swamp Thang. Manowar was good.... just liked the other two better. And I think what did it for me.... and I hesitate to use the word "clean".... maybe "crisp" is a better term. All of them from mids up sounded great. I think what did it for me was when you played the lower strings. There was a clarity that wasn't with the other speakers.

I did not catch that first read. Shows how the brain works. My mind read OFF. Had I comprehended what you actually typed and had just taken a drink..... there'd have been a spray job. :pound-hand: :run:

This one with the Marshall JVM and tuned Drop B


Does it change any speaker choices for you guys?

Personally I'm a little reserved in my judgment here simply because we can see the mic moving around between speaker changes. I can't tell how much tonal change is due to the speaker swap or the differences between mic positions.

Fair enough, but just know that I do understand mic placement pretty well and have spent countless hours studying and testing it for my own knowledge.
I even taught an audio recording class at the high school for about ten years teaching students how to use mics properly etc.

I wouldn't say I'm a studio engineer guru or anything, but in all my clips I set the mic either dead center or most commonly right at the sweet spot - edge of dust cap. My cabs are marked where to put the mic for each speaker. So I do try to get the most common tones recorded in a semi-scientific manner.

Oh it's not a complaint at all!
Pretty much how I do it too and I'm far less educated about it than you are!
I just know that in my own limited experiences I have noticed seemingly tiny things make pretty significant changes in the way things sound. Of course, in that instance I'm usually not doing any type of speaker shootout or anything either, I'm not listening for differences between speakers, I'm listening for differences in other things. And even then I question whether or not I should trust my own ears lol!

Ha ha roger that. I say trust your ears and fire away.
Every instance and sample is going to be different than what you'd experience at home with your gear anyhow. I just like to spread the flavors around in hopes it one day may help someone decide something good or bad.
