EVH 5153 50w and Earforce Two comparison clips with different cabs. LasseMago pack.

[Ensi]

So I brought my school laptop to the rehearsal space along with some gear and I wanted to do something fun. So I reamped the 'famous' LasseMago DI pack at LOUD volumes.

• Amps: EVH 5150 III 50w (red channel) and Earforce Two (channel B).
  
• Cabs: Harley Benton G212 v30 and an old Mesa OS (4x12 v30).
  
• Mic: Shure SM57, edge of cap, 1 inch from cloth.
  
• Pedals: Maxon OD808 Tubscreamer and ISP Decimator for noise reduction.
  
• Post-processing: None. Basic limiter on the master bus to get dat loudness and cut some spikes and GClip on the backing track because the snare popped up a bit much for my liking.
  
• Interface: Line 6 Toneport UX1 with cable from analog out going into the amp (this is extremely ghetto I know.. sorry )
  
• Room: Terrible.
  
  Note: There is some small digital pops and clicks in the recordings, I suspect this being the low-specced school laptop that I used.

What's your favourite?

The Mesa cab seems a lot more mix-ready for these clips for sure, IMO.

I like both the Earforce and 5150III, but I definitely notice the 5150III has a tad more content in the mids/low-mids in this clip... and a tad smoother highs. I like that, personally.

 

[The-Zeronaut]

The mesa cab sounds really good but the HB cab sounds MUCH better than i expected...
i should get one of those >.< they are dirt cheap

for this particular mix/song i would use the earforce
but either one of them would sound very good in the mix

All great tones Ensi! They all have their strong points.

What was the Resonance set to on the 5150? How loud is "LOUD", Volume setting on 5150?

Thanks.

EDIT: It is "their", not "there".

Thanks.

Since he's probably sleeping, I'll answer for him.
I think the Resonance was on full actually, if not then it's not far from full, might be wrong on this one.
The volume was about at 11:30, fucking loud as hell haha

 

[GuitarHack]

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's pretty loud.

 

[Derpsicle]

No problem, man!

The 5150III doesn't have a resonance control

The 50W do. It's on the backside of the amp.

The little bastards....I want one on the 100w version

Damn that Harley Benton sounds awesome!
I prefer the 5153 HB clip out of these to be honest, more upfront than the mesa.

I agree. really suprised by the HB.

 

[The-Zeronaut]

Could you post only the guitar tracks?
im very interested on how the HB cab takes processing

These are the settings we used:

Poweramp controls? Do you mean resonance?
