#2 BY FAR!!!
It's smoother and has more harmonic complexity. This tone makes me want to play my guitar. The equalization of this tone sits better in the mix as well.
Very nice playing, btw. I can tell from the difference in note choice and phrasing that you like #2 better as well. (I might be wrong, but I never am.

#2 here also, sounds very rich and sweet.
#1 kinda had a sterile sound to it.

How come you guys aren't adding your votes in the actual poll?

Hehe, thanks for participating!
The first one is Ibanez RG2570 directly into the Engl Screamer and the second one is the MI Audio Tube Zone pedal into the Screamer, same guitar.
Both miced up with a SM57 and same guitar.
It was bedroom level so I can't blame the Screamer but I feel more comfortable just with the amp, it's more direct and I like the aggressive thing, it's sounds better in a band situation.
Yeah, the Tube Zone is **** smooth but somehow I make more mistakes when I use this one lol
I figured yesterday out which compressor works good in Cubase for the guitar track and it would be a bit different now but wouldn't change the tone, just make it more present.
At the moment I like dirty sounds and the "ugly" frequencies of the Screamer would be beaten down by other instruments in the band and of course, I could crank it more.
Hopefully I can take the Screamer to a friend who has a 2x12 cab with Greenbacks and check it out.
I also think that the MI Audio pedal would sound better at louder volumes...louder -> less bass in my experience, so it would take the little mud away.
And last but not least, this ballad needs a smooth sound but it's not something I play everyday....aaaaaaaaaah this tone search kills me someday.
Cheers!

They're both different, but I like them both...The first reminds me of the smooth sound of a saxophone...the second has a really nice crisp clear tone. Good job on both though.

I like 2 about 406 times more than 1. I can't believe it's the same amp/guitar.
How different were the settings? What were your settings on #2? It's amazingly smooth.

the # 2 winns on soul ,the #1 winns on clarity and smoothness..On that particular song ,#2 would be my choice...

Certainly #2, it has better tone and feel. (though #1 ain't bad either, perhaps more faithful to the original)

The first one sounded a bit "clerical" to me, it was a bit too clean and precise. The second one had a warmer voice to me, sounded much, much better to my ears.

Clerical? Of or relating to the clergy? Do you mean "clinical"?

Definitely #1 is the best sound. No doubt about it. #2 sounds kind of colored and more distorted. The first one sounds saturated but not artificial like #2. I really like the 1st one a lot. #2 is good, but #1 kills #2. What kind of amp was it?
Hey, if you want to call great tone "clinical" that's your prerogative. To me, that's excellent tone. I want whatever that was.

@edsmith: I used the Engl Screamer 50 Combo for the #1 clip. Distortion channel with gain around 9 o'clock, if I remember correctly.
@idsnowdog: yeah, you're right. Don't know why but it's more difficult to play with the pedal.
