Night and day I think

I'd have to say the first one sounds fatter and has a bit more growl. The second one sounds tighter but definitely thinner. Nice tone regardless.

[Sandman31774]

i like teh midz

clocks only go up to 12 o clock unless you have some weird military time clock.

[Argh! Zombies!]

I think you might have ear fatigue from trying this too long in one sitting! First one sounds best to me, some nice tone and musicality between the peaks. The second one sounds almost like 100% texture. Less toneful.

[phyrexia]

there are only 12 hours on a clock

 

 

OMG Angry Grimace is your signature a real quote or is it out of context?

To me the first sound a bit fizzy and muddy i think the second is much more musical and more balanced

That has to be sarcasm.

Scuse me it's true:) how much I'm stupid!

Nope someone actually started a thread about that.

i think this just proves 1 thing: a plexi sounds good no matter what.

Peppe fell for the oldest joke in the book - thinking that the knobs on a Marshall actually do something.

Both of those clips sound thin to me. You should try cranking the mids to 10 and recording that.

hard for me to tell too. every time i have played one i am too busy soiling myself from the volume.

And roll back the treble to 3 or 4.

I was tryng to go in the directon of VH tone

if you listen his tone in 1984 that is the cd that i'm listening now, the tone there isn't very fat.

[Herald of Light]

Yes, it has the ice pick thing going on. That's the biggest problem to me, and probably what's making it sound thin, since it screams for attention from your ears.

 

But all the same, I'd probably turn the mids up all the way, anyways. I can't think of any particular normal Marshall that I ever thought sounded better with the mids lowered.

Fatter than the tone you posted IMO.

 

Plug into just the high input, crank Vol 1 to 10.

 

pres: 6

bass: 4 or 5

mids: 7 or 8

treble: 3 or 4

 

That will get you closer to VH IMO...

I will try

but to my ears the CD i'm listening now sound even thinner, has less bass and overall a not very large tone

 

is not the size of the tone that makes it great for me

[Herald of Light]

Guitar in decent recordings rarely has much/any bass. That's not what makes a guitar sound big. You can't even distinguish it, even if it is there. It's the mids.

 

Some VH sounds pretty thin and borderline scoopy to me, but your treble still sounds too high. Listen to both of your clips really loud. They're ear death. Fix that, and it will be a heck of a lot more balanced.

Thank you for the suggestion:thu:

About the clock thing, going to 12 only:
Its not really true, because here in Sweden for example we dont use
A.M. and P.M., We say 16.00. when the clock is 4 PM and 20.00 when its 8 PM and so on.
I dont know how its in Italy (The author seems to be from Italy?) but maybe its something like that.

[jaytee123]

The second one sounds almost like 100% texture. Less toneful.

 

 

Translation: Warmer

 

Both sounds are good. The first one has more of that 80's sound. But if warm is good for you, thats good too.

That doesn't change the fact that the clock only has 12 hours on the dial. So when describing a DIRECTION instead of 15 o'clock you'd normally say 3 o'clock no matter if you use the 12 or 24 hour format.
