Legacy Need your opinion! Comparing three different 4x12 cabs.

[ML SOUND LAB]

Hey girls and boys! I'm trying out quite a variety of cabs right now for upcoming Cab Packs and all of these three cabinets sound really good in my opinion. I'd love to get some feedback from you guys and maybe you can point me to the right direction on which one you'd like to see next. This is intentionally a blindfold comparison so people don't get too attached to brand names and what not. I'd love to hear your opinions!

It's full out metalz Killswitch Engage!!!



Below you can download full versions of the song with these new cab variations.

Feedback is MUCH appreciated.

3 sounds best to my ears, a little more balanced than 1 or 2 methinks

 

[sskkmm]

I think #1 but hard to say there is some really angry guy yelling all the time. :/

 

[faulty_equipment]

#1 cuts better in the mix and has a sharper attack. 2 & 3 seem to get lost in the mix

 

[symphx]

1 brighter in the face, I like it but would make it deeper in editing. 2, 3 sound more muffled, like I hear in a lot of mesas

 

[Marrafat]

#1 sounds best to me, mostly I can't hear much difference but around 3:54 that's where I do hear it.

 

[ML SOUND LAB]

Thank you guys for the feedback! I think I'll create a more obvious comparison. In here it's a bit hard to hear the guitar at times etc. Wait a sec! (

Aaand here it is. Same order for the clips:

 

[alcyppa]

Honestly I don't particularly like any of these guitar sound.

If I had to pick one I'd probably go with #3

 

[Smilzo]

I like the rawness of #1.

 

[Chronos]

Hmmm...they all 3 sound absolutely wonderful. I think number 2 though might just be perfect, and not just in that full mix context, but also very much so just enjoying the tone of the guitar there on its own before the rest of the parts start playing

 

[Pwrmac7600]

I would say #3. Jumping back and forth between them in the sound cloud clip. #1 seems a little harsh, #2 sounds a little hollow in the mids, but, #3 seems very full sounding in the highs, mids, and low.

 

[Arunas]

+1 on #3

 

[firmani99]

I'd say 3 but it is very very close. With 1 coming in second.

 

[Brock]

#1 for me - sounds the most open and balanced. It is a tad bright but I'm sure some highs could be attenuated.

 

[Chronos]

I get the feeling I'm outvoted. To be clear all three will eventually become cab packs, or no?

 

[ML SOUND LAB]

With the results we're getting here I think we have to shoot all three cabinets. These are definitely not "just metal cabs" either. I just used high gain to really emphasize the character.

 

[bigbrown2056]

I like 3 best.

 

[Joe Shirey]

Hmm, Killswitch....Framus cabs perhaps???
