Epic tube amp comparison! 13 amps! Mesa, ENGL, EVH, Orange, Marshall, Laney & Peavey
Hey everyone,
I thought it would be a lot of fun to put all my amplifiers together in one video to see how they compare.
Not only to see how they compare but also to just see how they all function in a mix when I have them all dialed in.
There are a bunch of different amps in my collection, Mesa's, various Oranges, a, EVH, a Laney, an ENGL, a Marshall and a Peavey.
Different amps but all mainly 'rock/metal'-type amps I'd say.
So for the first part of each section I'm playing a clean clip with my Tele and then 30 seconds of rock with a humbucker equipped LP style guitar.
For all the clean bits I used the clean channels (when available) and for the dirty parts the drive channels.
No boost pedals or eq pedals etc, just the pure amp tones into my Fractal LB-2 reactive load and into impulse responses.
There's almost no post processing going on aside from HPF's to make a little room for the kick and bass.
That's a very common thing in mixing so that's how we usually hear guitars anyway.
If I felt that a tone could be better, instead of resorting to processing I would go back and tweak the amp and/or IR.
Most of them turned out really well in this mix!
I'll let you guys know what my favorites are soon, but first I'd be very interested to know which ones you thought were best and why!
If you want to skip the sections, don't overlook the timecodes in the description.
