@MaddesG1 4 года назад

@youKnowWho3311 4 года назад

Hiwatt is ported, so that makes some sense. I use two separate cabs off the same head. Mesa V30 loaded deep closed back 2x12 and a DRZ green/cream loaded 2x12 oval open back. It makes for a great mix together. Now if I play through just one of them, I don't like the sound. Spoiled. Don't do it kids. Will ruin you forever.

@dwftube 4 года назад

@@katsavidiz Maybe it would sound better with different EQ on the amp? I didn't hear them say they adjusted for each cab, so whichever one they did adjust for was off to a head start.

@mariodriessen9740 4 года назад

slimjw ; Maybe we're alone on that one, but I also prefered the Greenbacks. In fact, I thought it was the best sounding cabinet on every example. Sometimes even miles ahead of the others. What I liked about it was the fact that it sounded more agressive to me. In my book 'fizzy' is something else. And about that bass..., most of the time it's the first thing that's being eq'ed out, or else you'll piss off the bass player. Greenbacks for me.

@CAPFlyer 4 года назад

I think the problem with the Hiwatt (as suggested) is that it's more matched to the Hiwatt amps, but also that because of its high power, the massive headroom never really pushed the speakers, making them sound more muddled because they weren't getting the push the other, lower powered speakers were. You could hear it in the Mesa to some extent too, especially on the Marshall amp. I know it's probably not factually correct, but that's how it felt on the speakers I was hearing through.

@Astrochronic 4 года назад

@jeffainsley6000 4 года назад

This is an essential video, and does a great job of illustrating one of the most overlooked aspects of guitar tone. If you have a combo amp or two, try using it as a cabinet for other amps. This is a great way to multiply your gear options without spending money. Just make sure the impedance of the speaker(s) matches whatever amp is being used (4 ohm, 8 ohm, 16 ohm).

@joshrepik 4 года назад

Jeff Ainsley I modified my fender pro 185 reverb for this exact reason to accept a 1/4” input. The amp is great for cleans but pales in comparison to my 5150 head for distorted tones

@plumbummusic2051 4 года назад

The first two cabs were my favorites, definitely. Marshall with greenbacks are the sound of rock n' roll and the mesa had a nice bottom-end with a decent high mid presence but less treble, which is a standard for V30s.

@TheSecondNature 4 года назад

Does anyone else have this? It's weird, to my ears the first notes after they switch amp really suck and then after like 3 seconds I start liking it. I guess I'm overwhelmed by the differences at first but then I immediately get used to the different qualities and I can appreciate each one of them. The Marshalls and Mesa are winners, the Hiwatt was a bit dead in this specific setting. I think it's not for this kind of straight ahead rock n roll sound but it's more of a platform for more complex sounds (I'm thinking Gilmour or Hackett who both used them with incredible results)

@evanmiller2579 4 года назад

Totally agree. And I notice this at home as well even switching through different OD pedals. You get zeroed in on a tone and then upon dialing up something different there is a lag until your ears and brain adjust.

@djjazzyjeff1232 4 года назад

Totally agree. That being said though, I'm partial to the two Marshall Cabs. I didn't really like the Hiwatt at all and the Mesa was kinda there but the extra low end I didn't really care for. If I was to use that I'd eq it out anyway so what's the point lol. The first one and the last cab, man they were both great, it'd depend on the song/part but you couldn't really go wrong with either of them. The first one sounded more classic to me and the last one a bit more of a modern sound.

@tomasesilva 4 года назад

@swankmotee 4 года назад

Glad to see the Park is getting quality time! One major thing that needs to be spoken about in reference to speaker cabs is condition and age of the speakers. Depending upon how 'broken in" a set are will make a huge difference in the overall quality of tone as well as the "vintage" ( year they were manufactured) because more modern cones are manufactured differently and do not sound the same as their older versions. Also each and every box will have its own inherent resonances and tone response just due to the quality of wood so not every old Marshall 4x12 will sound stellar. I surmised that the 65 watters Rick loaded into the JCM800 box were nicely broken in and the cab has a nice overall resonance. Of course your own results will always vary!

@Mars- 4 года назад

Interesting thing was my perception of tone changed a bit on multiple listens. Important - preferences can vary. Also ,there is not one combo that sounds better in every style or situation. That said,my preferences for each song demo: Jet- Vintage Celestion speakers with Marshall cab Acdc - Celestion Marshall again (SG with Marshall Like Angus Young ) Solo -Hiwatt (really let the individual notes breathe ) ACDC - Same preference as for other ACDC Led Zep- Celestion Marshall Soundgarden- Mesa (Low end vital for that tune's drop D) Now to be fair, my preferences appear to lined up with the amps the songs were originally done on . So obviously those combos would sound more "right" Had they been done on different ones the preferences would be affected. 🌟Good video and concept

@p_1210 4 года назад

Greenbacks all day, love the midrange in them especially for classic/hard rock and probably would be best live in a mix. Mesa was good also, just a little scooped for me though. Can see why blokes use 2 greenbacks and 2 V 30’s in a 4x12.

I'm a Brit - I've never seen anyone with a Mesa cab...but Marshall and Hiwatt are our bread and butter. The Mesa...sounded middy and focused. The Hiwatt...no lower mids or bass at all. I've had Hiwatt cabs (Fane) and they didn't sound anything like that. They were hard and punchy...like a Celestion cab with a bit of direct mixed in. But they were sealed back. Vented didn't seem to suit them at all. Of the two Marshall cabs -the basketweave sounded full frequency - creamy to about 5K - the 80's one was more aggressive; a more pronounced lower mid. I'd take the 100W all day long, but I like progressive breakup. If I was buying a 4*12 I'd get the 1960TV - a 100W big cab. The extra volume gives it more 'phlub' (like AC/DC with the mids shifted down a bit).

I'm shocked by how blanketed the HiWatt cab sounded. But now I see why people love those Mesa Boogie cabinets so much. I've always wanted that Marshall sound by with the American bottom end.

Loved the Mesa cab. I wasn't expecting the high end rolloff on the Hiwatt. The Park head has a ton of character. Loved the raspy bite on the breakup. Another great video, guys!

I still can't get my engineer head around this "what sounds guitarrier" or "I want to throw cables in the open back over sound quality" concepts of instrument amps/speakers, and mostly not the "they are not designed for music listening" off your mp3 or any other source. In my head it would be like both amp and speaker tries to be within 3dB over the audible spectrum and we EQ out what we don't need there. Loved the Mesa, poor Hiwatt didn't impress...

MESA< There's a reason the 90's music was soo heavy. Bottom End!

Guess that's one reason I don't like '90s music...

That Mesa cabinet sounds the richest to my ears. What a great tone!

Great video ! Thanks to both of you. I guess speakers 3 and 4 would sound fine if not compared to anything else. But I like 1 and 2 a lot more because they sound better in the high frequencies. A slight preference for the Mesa (#2).

Alright, before even getting into the episode, can we appreciate that when rick introduces himself, the auto-captions say “hey everybody I’m rich biatch.”

I guess I'm in the minority in feeling like the hiwatt was the only one that sounded good out of them all. It just sounded much less harsh and warmer to my ears than the others. I'm a "combo amp guy" though and probably just have a natural inclination to lean away from cabinet sounds to start with.

Wow, I was shocked by that. I’ve been playing Mesa since 1985 and love them to this day. I’ve never really cared for Marshall until recently. I’ve also never been a fan of 412 cabs as I’ve used a pair of Mesa Thiele EVM12L cabs sing the mid 90’s. I had a Marshall 100w cab with pre Rola green backs from 1971 which I hated and sold. However, in this test I thought the 65w Marshall was easily the best cab. Next was the Greenbacks. The HiWatt was certainly “different “ and a bot muffled but it had a unique character. The Mesa was consistently my least favourite by a LONG way.
