TSE x30 vs x50

[rchoi54]

I did a song with the x30 a couple weeks ago, but I just now tried it out with the x50.

Honestly, the two tones I got are different but I don't know which one sits best for the mix and the genre.

Here's the x30v1.6sov through a g12k impulse:

Here's the x50 B3 through an awesome4pulse impulse:

EDIT: Here's an updated version! Sounds like The Chariot's tone from Long Live.

The only thing about the x50 tone is that it sounds like it could use more meat.. What do you think?

I actually like it the way it is now.. What settings/gear are you using?

x50. sounds great. wouldn't change a thing.

 

[DanLights]

got plenty of meat IMO

The 30 sounds meatier, but the 50 def sits better. Ongel is a LEGEND!

 

[NattyJ.]

I reckon the x50 sits a million times better!
This sounds tight as f*** for amp sims, mostly the sims i've heard all sound like hacks, but this, onqel's and catharsis studios songs are really changing my opinion

What preamp did you run the guitar D.I'd through?

Thank you everyone for your feedback, it means a lot!

Dearmond Jetstar (sub-brand of Guild) -> TSE 808 (tone on 8) -> TSE x50 -> Catharsis awesome4pulse

x50 settings are:
- EL34 tube
- Bias at recommended settings (-39V)
- Hifi on
- Presence at 5 (Awesome4pulse impulse has enough as it is)
- Low end at 8

The only reason this sounds so scooped is because I scooped 500-1300 Hz region by -3dB. Shouldn't have done that lol

50 sits better, 30 sounds heavier. you said you scooped the mids out on the x50? try notching them back.

and i just want to take this time to say that after i voted, the poll was in the figure of cock n balls. probably of the african persuasion.

 

[rchoi54]

I just updated it, sounds like The Chariot.

[zver]
