Yeah! How dare you try something different! Conform! Conform!

My own findings with these speakers (I have an EVH 4x12) is that you need to watch the amount of low end you push through them or else they lose definition at volume. I use a Mesa Roadster as my main recording head and if I use CH4 Modern I have to keep the amp gain fairly low due to the way turning up the gain saturates the low mids/low end on that channel. Cutting bass on the way in also helps (EQ or TS).

Overall I still prefer my Rectifier 4x12 but I like having the EVH cab for a different texture sometimes. I felt your clip might have sounded better with slightly less gain.

Sounds like a bridge pup with the tone control all the way to 0 to me :zombie:

I also like the V30s better with my Mesa. But the EVH 4x12 is a great cab.
I ordered one + the Limited 5150 III Stealth. I had the original EVh5150+cab, but i liked the 50 watt version better.

There's no tone control...

The mids sounds good. But not with that awful tuning. I think they do better with E standard or D =)

 

[Simon Dorn]

I think the G12EVH is a very articulate speaker - no matter which tuning.

 

[Rex Rocker]

I don't think the speakers are having a problem handling the tuning at all in the clip.

I mean, not getting in the breakpoint, but when he hits the lower strings the low end of the speaker is just awful and undefined
