Quick NOTE: I know that for some of you it can be tempting to skip straight to the AB comparison with the same cab but I would highly recommend to also listen to the amps in context of the music with selected cabs. Keep in mind that in the end you will all use different cabs anyway. I also think that the selected cabs give a better idea overall of the character of each individual amp. Don't forget to let me know your favorite and why! Cheers guys!

“Keep in mind that in the end you will all use different cabs anyway.” Which is exactly why some listeners arbitrary insistence on using the same cab, and even the same settings on each amp, is so ridiculous. It completely misses the point of your demonstration, which I very much enjoyed, by the way. Thank you!

The same settings on this amp would be completely pointless. Amps have knobs so you can use them :)

My overall favorite was the JJ Jr. which is essentially a hot rodded Marshall. The 800 was everything you look for in a Marshall. Orange surprised me as it was right up there. Wangs reminded me of early Aerosmith Marshall sound. The EVH and H&K sounded more modern, but certainly close enough for classic rock in a live setting.

I listened to the A/B part with the same cab, and while they all sound very similar, there are slight differences. I really like the Orange for its fat mids while retaining clarity, and the Wangs for its bright, cutting high end and uncompressed character. The rest are more similar to each other, with the EVH being my least favorite by a slight margin for being slightly fizzy and too compressed.
@HiHello-ku1fl 2 жыл бұрын
I enjoyed going between timestamps so I could really hear the different flavors back to back. Very interesting. The Marshall and Wang's both have that classic Marshall crunch that I favor. Liking the Marshall just a tad more as its voicing just has a cool midrange also a nice texture that only Marshalls seem to have. Wang's was right there with it though. The Orange is very cool and would be handy if you want more mids and your guitar track to stand out or punch through and roar. I love Orange amps. A must have right along side Marshall, Fender, and Vox. Orange amps have a sound all their own. Friedman seems modern and refined and voiced in a way that its not sticking out or getting in the way .....for more of a modern well produced sound on the heavy side. The Hughes and Kettner is also a really cool sounding amp and sounds quality . I didn't like the EVH but can see how it could still be used for a different flavor. It sounded the cheapest for some reason. Best bang for the buck would be the Orange by far in my opinion. It does not sound like a cheap Chinese made amp at all. I don't know how they do it. Smart and simple design.

Maybe because the Marshall was first you get used to it (or you use it in your mind as a benchmark), but none of the isolated parts from other amps sounded right to me. ... but going to the bandmix it all sounds just great! I was rocking out to the Marshall, and then going to the Orange (isolated) made it way too dark, the EVHs made it way too modern, etc... But in band context... it all just fits!

I have had a JCM800 since 1986, that is home to me. It sounded best here, followed by the H&K for a similar tone and the Wang for a lower gain tone that you could easily push with a low gain boost pedal. The JJ sounded like a modern modded Marshall, a little shrill. The Orange was VERY honky with it's IR, not usable IMO, but more in the ballpark with the Marshall IR at the end. The EVH was just not in the right competition, it was the metal amp in the rock amp fight. For me, the problem with the H&K is the same as with a Rectifier, the knobs make it a nightmare to use live because you cannot read the dials in the heat of a gig, old fashion chickheads like the EVH are best.
