Reamped through 15 different amps

[lolzgreg]

why exactly?

The DIs weren't exactly the best thing for a tone test, at least I don't think so.

There's nothing wrong with the playing, but something always sounded sort of indistinct with these DIs to my ear; I don't really know how to explain it. All the clips sounded a bit cloudy to me. It may have been Eddy's mic positioning or something about the DIs. I'm not sure. Not for nothing, but I didn't have the easiest time getting something I was happy with from these DIs when I did the practice reamp, either. I have a pretty standard go-to mic positioning and eqing of my amp that always "works;" (this doesn't necessarily mean it sounds great, either) It didn't seem to work for these DIs.

This isn't mean to be offensive, only constructive.

of course, no offense taken

the thing is, my signal chain was actually pretty good (emg 81 loaded esp -> studio projects vtb1 hz in -> rme fireface conversion.....you might frown upon the vtb1, but i bought a couple of DI boxes and did a shootout with them as well as the vtb1 and the rme hiZ in, and the vtb was clearly the best sounding imho, that's why i went with that one for the album) so this is kinda irritating...
makes me wonder what i can improve for the next recording you know?

Woah thats really cool to listen to, thanks for doin this.
Also did anyone else think that the Bogner Ecstasy with 2 SM57's sounded pretty similar to the EVH 5150 III with 2 KMS104's??
atleast in the first 2 riffs anyways, maybe its just me....
I think they were my favourites, and the Peavey 5150 aswell.

Just got back to this thread to point the link to someone else, I will check if there wasn't a mistake on the files naming.
