green or red

I for myself prefer the green channel most of the time.
it feels more open.
the red channel is tighter but also more focused in the mids.

what do you prefer?

Red. Because I just can't get a half decent sound with the green channel I really tried to like it..

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Loving both, but it depends on the guitar and player A LOT. With some the green sounds to stuffy/middy, with others the Red sounds too fuzzy. So no clear vote from me

Red - green always has a weird buzzy top end to my ears.

 

[Machinated]

im using red most of the time, but sometimes green works better. depends on guitarist/guitar/pickups/song/band. but yeah mostly red.

still ... blue tits for me...

I actually expected a thread like the blue/green battle.. and then was very disappointed.
(+1 on blue)

Green channel for me. It blends well when quad tracked. and with the right amount of gain on your TS...it's just bad ass!

 

[Force666]

probably just my particular amp, but I prefer the green channel. red is just too noisy.

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

I've been using green almost exclusively because red has always been fizzy. I think I should give it another chance though.

 

[Pot]

depends on player and music being played...personally tend to favor the red

 

[JeffTD]

Fuck me, green rules asshole with single coils I've just found out! Also really been getting into the "normal" input jack lately!

Passives+Maxon+Green Channel= epic win for modern rock
Actives+Maxon+Red Channel= epic win for the br00tz

Red channel with no tube screamer for me lately. I love the fullness of the green channel with hi gain input though.
