Tone competition 2 round 5

[MarkG]

The winners from these threads will face each other head on in the final thread / showdown of semi-epic proportions.

I'll give every round a couple of days to gather enough votes before moving on to the next round. I intend to keep the voting time 5 days, but I'll extend it if needed and shorten if possible. I don't want to rush a round with insufficient votes or drag on too long when there's already a clear winner.

When voting, please keep in mind this is about the guitar tone. Some have louder guitars than others. No extreme differences though, the most extreme ones have been edited by Anssi. Some files were submitted with master bus changes. We used the submitted guitar only files and put those in the standard backing track in these cases to remove the master bus changes.

Without further delay, here are the7 contestants for round five.

JQ is the best to me.... has more definition through sweet mids.

 

[James-Doolan]

JJ takes this one for me

Rar - 404. One hour left now.

JQ for me. Sits nicely.

 

[Metaltastic]

L and LM have that mono thing going on again (to varying degrees), hard pan people Another tough one here, narrowed down to JJ, JQ, and KK; JJ as a tone is my least favorite (a bit too scooped and harshly nasal), but because it doesn't have the excessive mids of the other two (honky in the case of JQ and stuffy/wooly in the case of KK) that I could see getting real annoying if the backing track had a more audibly and fully mixed bass, I gotta go with it

Aren't K and M the same one? They sound the same to me. I voted for JQ, though it was way louder than the backing tracks and I think that blows

Nah, they're close, but definitely different

Ok, it must be my shitty speakers then (no monitors)

 

[HandsOfDespair]

JQ, I love his grinding sound.

[Mago]

KK for the same reason as the one in round 4

 

[CatharsisStudios]

Jq punches out

 

[Harry Hughes]

M was strangely tubby sounding. JJ sounded "hollow" to me, maybe it isn't the right word but it's the one that comes to mind when I hear, just seems to be a certain space in the mids that seems to not be filled out enough.
JQ was good and I almost voted for it, but I heard KK and had to go for that instead. Just seems to punch the best, not too bass heavy and the mids are filled out nicely to my ears.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

JJ for me. Nice grinding top end.
