I always tended to use the green channel and therefore used exclusively the high gain input for years to get enough distortion. But lately i dig the red channel but i never thought of the inputs again. Today i made this comparison. At first i still liked the high gain input more because it sounded a bit more powerfull but after a while i felt what i always felt when i used the red channel..it sounded a bit flat and thin to me especially on lower volume playback. I find it quite obviously on the 2nd riff (the single note riff) and now i prefer the normal input over the high gain for the red channel at the moment.
What do you say? Or what do you use?
