Mesa 2x12 Rectifier vs Marshall 2x12 1936V

[Clark Kent]

2x12 Vintage 30 comparison time! So... the Mesa V30s are voiced for Mesa and the Marshall V30s are the 70-watt versions voiced for Marshall. Quite a huge difference in the tone between these cabinets.



But... which one do you prefer? Should be pretty easy to tell which one is Mesa and which one is Marshall. Mic'ed with SM57 @ cone edge.

mesa is the second one I think. I prefer that one

 

[sprack]

I definitely prefer the Marshall's. Much more articulate.

Useless to compare solo.
