Ah, compared to the first clips, OK I understand now. Yes this new one is a definite improvement over the first clips.

Cool, I guessed it right then and more importantly I'm not the only one who prefers 1. I agree with Guitarhack that it's one of your best tones and I'd also love to hear some comparisons with 4 V30s in the Mills.
I'm thinking about going for 4 v30's or 4 g12k100s in the mills. I just need to find someone to trade with.
I honestly don't want 3 cabs with v30s in em. They sound good, but I dunno.

I prefer 1, but the difference isn't as drastic as I would have thought. Both sound amazing tbh.

Cool, glad I got this one right. Guess the mids in the Mesa are just too familiar to forget now.
As others had said though, slight mic placement or setting changes and you could probably pull even closer sounds out of both cabs, depending on what sound you're going for.

Not to derail this thread, but do you mean the clip with the new Morgray DI's, in his thread? Was the Mid-Cut engaged on that? It seems to lack a little body. Hard to tell without it being in a mix though. You should reamp the DI's from this thread with the new amp so we can compare it to the 5150, with the Mesa Cab.

I think with these clips, for the Mills cab, a slight drop in mids and a slight boost in treble (just adjusted on the amp) with same exact mic placement would have made it almost identical to the Mesa. I don't really see the point in directly comparing with exact same settings and mic placement. It could go either way depending on which is setup to sound its best.

I meant sticking 4 v30s in the Mills just for the shootout's sake, I totally understand why you would'nt want 3 cabs with v30s. Don't feel obliged to do it, though. I'm very grateful for the comparisons you've done already. Cheers
I don't have 4 V30's unfortunately.
The mesa has "special V30s"
The mills has regulars, but only two.
My Avatar has "special v30s" as well.

^ I've always been wondering about this, since there was someone who said pretty much the only difference is in the label.
The word is that the V30s that are installed in Mesa's Standard 4x12 are voiced slightly darker than regular run-of-the-mill V30s. Again, that's just the word though. I have never seen anything 100% confirming this from Mesa or Celestion.
I am pretty sure that back in the day the Mesa "Black Shadow" V30's used to actually be special. But now they are supposedly just rebranded regular v30's. I think the only special speaker that Mesa has made for them is the MC90. I suppose a call to Mesa would clear it all up, I don't think the v30s are special though, Mesa brands all of their speakers with the "Black Shadow" label.
