Reamping Shootout: Pick a favorite

[JakeAC5253]

I have been sort of pushing the limits of how fat I can make guitars for the mix lately. This shootout contains two of the tones I have been playing with in a mix context using no EQ. Let me know which you like the best, and feel free to leave comments or critiques as well.

I prefer A

I prefer A

Cool, thanks.

kinda hard to pick one over the other...even on the shitty little computer speakers i'm listening with right now, it's easy to tell that there's a lot more midrange content in clip A...which makes the guitars pop out a lot more, but i kind of like the way the more scooped tone in B sits in the mix, just makes it all seem a little more coherent. i guess it really depends on whether you want the guitars to be dominant, or on even keel with everything else. either way, both sound pretty good man!

I prefer A too. Seems a bit more rounded to me, if that makes any sense.

 

[decoy205]

I prefer A too. I think you'll have more flexibility with it.

 

[JakeAC5253]

Hmm, interesting results. Keep em coming!

I prefer B, A is sounding to "warm" for my taste.

 

[JakeAC5253]

B is a more typical way of dialing a 5150, but tweaked to sound good with my rig and in my room. A is a different way of dialing a 5150 that I came up with to make a cleaner response across a wider range of frequencies.

Tone A mixed in properly.
