Clark Kent said:There's some weirdness in the mix since both sound overly cutting. I'd scoop the mids a bit. When I tried the 11R all cab sims were scheisse. So i guess the fizzy version is 11R. What amp sims/cab sims were used?

Each one of these pictures is supposed to be an accurate digital representation of an orange... Which one looks more like an orange?
Hahahaha... the way you had both patches setup... I preferred the 11R only because it was brighter... I would love to hear a single track using the same "amp" on each unit each with the same dial settings... 1 o'clock on low, 2 o'clock mid, etc... whatever as long as they are identical... then maybe using the same IR in a DAW.mouzer said:mortega76 said:Ok...

Funny, but you never mentioned which one of the two you like better.
mouzer said:Fair enough. I prefer my amp tones to be 'cutting', with less top and low end. I find that if I keep it this way, the notes come out more articulate, and adding highs and lows pushes the guitar back in the mix. If this were a final mix I would have messed with post-amp EQ, but that wasn't the purpose of my test.
Thanks for the feedback!
Clark Kent said:I love cut! In this recording there's something unnatural sounding that cuts through in the midrange so I felt you should lower the guitars in the mix. That would lead to losing the low end/high end cut so that's why I'd simply scoop the mids a bit but that's just my opinion.
This is exactly how I see it, too.mouzer said:The 11's controls react more like the real thing (I often keep the bass and treble low on a real JCM800/JMP), while the Axe sounds more like the real thing :lol:

mouzer said:Theres something about the mids in Eleven...they just don't seem to be there like on the Axe. With the Axe, all the frequencies are there and they sound great in the stereo image, but with Eleven the 'meat' just doesn't exist, let alone the details. Without the cranked mids, Eleven turns into a mushy mess, and the hash-y fizzy highs dominate the tone.

Me too.mouzer said:Gytaxor said:but that is only my opinion, I am just describing what goes through my head right now ...
I agree with everything you've said!
